In the New Orleans Saints Sunday showdown against the 49ers, both of the league’s top defenses looked like youth football teams out there.
Allowing 40+ points to your opponent is nothing to be proud of as a defense. However, the 49ers defense got one more stop than the Saints’ defense did and that proved to be the determining factor to get the 49ers a win.
We have known all year that the Saints’ secondary is the weakest link on the team and this solidified that speculation in the minds of fans across the country. As we watched the game on Sunday and the secondary gave up big throw after big throw — even with the opposing wide receivers throwing the ball.
