1. Luke McCown will start at quarterback, but the offensive success likely won’t heavily be on his shoulders. The New Orleans Saints need to run the ball better, having totaled 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 47 carries in the first two games. We saw flashes of an emerging running game in the second half against Tampa Bay (13 carries for 79 yards). More of that will take the pressure off McCown, who will be making his first start since 2011 and throwing his first pass since making an attempt on a fake punt in 2013.
