Ted Ginn’s return to the lineup helped open up the playbook for Sean Payton’s offense, and it could benefit the team tremendously in the postseason. Missing in previous weeks was a receiver who could stretch the defense vertically.
Having to respect his speed, the Steelers used off-coverage on Ginn for most of the game and he was able to take advantage of this to the tune of five receptions for 74 yards and a key fourth quarter first down.
On a 2nd and 5, the Saints call a play that will take advantage of the off-coverage Pittsburgh used on Ginn.
