There’s no denying that the New Orleans Saints have been one of the most impressive teams in football this season. They’ve been dominant both offensively and defensively, but many times, the excellence of the two sides does not collide.
Against Tampa Bay, if the Marshon Lattimore-less defensive cannot stop step up, it could spell trouble. After all, Lattimore, a top-five cornerback in the NFL, did hold potential All-Pro receiver Mike Evans without a catch in the two teams’ last matchup.
This season, Evans has three games where he’s notched 180 or more yards. Those are game-changing and theoretically game-winning numbers.
