The New Orleans Saints ground game displayed as much life as we've seen in the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era in the last two weeks. And Mark Ingram and Tim Hightower certainly went bonkers in the team's win against San Francisco.
New Orleans' defense also produced four takeaways, which was a major plus in the win. The unit's miscues in pass coverage against a poor passing team like the Niners late in the first half had to be a concern leaving the game, though.
I'll take a look at what worked in the running attack and what didn't in late first half pass coverage during the Saints' win against the 49ers in this week's Film Study:
