It seems like every week, the Saints are introducing a new surprise or wrinkle to take advantage of their opposition’s weaknesses.
Last week against the Colts, New Orleans rolled out more sets with multiple tight ends than what is typical. This week, during a 52-49 win over the New York Giants, the Saints used empty looks on pass attempts.
Those looks have been very rare for the offense this season, yet the execution out of those looks — like most things on offense during this game — were flawless.
Quarterback Drew Brees connected on 17 of his 19 attempts out of those looks for 270 yards.
