The 3-2 New Orleans Saints, winners of three in a row, trek north this weekend to take on a preseason Super Bowl favorite of many, the Green Bay Packers. The Packers will be without their All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who broke his right collarbone in last week's loss to Minnesota. The Saints, meanwhile, have arguably been playing their best defensive football in years, with last week's victory propelling them to over .500 for the first time since the 2013 season.
Today, Canal Street Chronicles looks over some of the key matchups to watch when the New Orleans defense is on the field.
