With a new era of New Orleans Saints football on the horizon, having a good defense is crucial. Fortunately, the Saints have one of the best defenses in the league, coming in at No. 9 on CBS Sports’ list of top 10 defenses for 2021.
Jared Dublin of CBS Sports put the list together and had this to say about the Saints’ ranking:
The Saints have rarely turned the ball over in recent seasons, and they’ve also scored quite often. That’s led to New Orleans’ defense being afforded favorable field position, with their opponents ranking 24th, 28th, 30th, and 30th in average starting field position over the last four years.
