Gregg Williams' defense gives Saints best chance to win

The New Orleans Saints host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and each team desperately needs a victory. But the Saints have a competitive advantage: Gregg Williams isn’t coaching their defense.

Here’s the point total from the last time Sean Payton faced Williams, who won the 2009 Super Bowl with New Orleans before throwing everyone under the bus in the Bountygate scandal: 49-21. The Saints offense scored seven times, with quarterback Drew Brees throwing four touchdowns and wide receiver Willie Snead tossing in a fifth score on a 50-yard trick play. Tailback Mark Ingram led a rushing attack that gained 209 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground.
