The Saints are discovering that balance on offense can be a good thing. The running game exploded last week with Mark Ingram and Tim Hightower combining for 245 yards on 38 carries. That averages out to nearly 6.5 yards a carry. Of course that was against the 49ers, but there is reason to believe that the Black and Gold could put up some big numbers this Sunday as well.
Perhaps that average may be a little lofty to reach this week, but getting five yards a carry is not out of the question. Look at the Denver Broncos the last two games.
