Holding the Giants to 16 points while getting 3 turnovers should have been enough. Special teams didn’t help the cause, that’s for sure. The run defense was nothing short of spectacular. The Giants were held to 64 yards on 32 carries. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the Saints so dominant on run defense. Against the pass they gave a lot of cushion but that seemed to be the plan. I have to commend the Saints on their tackling. Yes, they gave up the short throws but they missed very few tackles. That’s an encouraging thing for this defense moving forward.
