To most people’s surprise, it was Saints’ star cornerback Marshon Lattimore, not Eli Apple that was torn up against Seattle. Apple was actually a highlight for the Saints defense after receiving a bulk of the criticism to start the season.
It seemed as though Eli Apple was the focal point of conversation in the team’s primetime Week 1 Monday Night Football game. However, then it wasn’t for anything positive that the former Ohio State Buckeye had done.
Matched up with either Kenny Stills or Will Fuller, the narrators continued to remind fans of how Deshaun Watson and the Texans offensive coordinator were targeting the Saints two weaker links in their secondary.
