Saints in the trenches Week 2: O-line, D-line and the path to victory

On Sunday, Sep. 16, in Week 2 of the 2018 Season, the New Orleans Saints barely escaped with a victory over the winless Cleveland Browns, 21-18. While many things did go wrong, as the score would suggest, not much can be blamed on the offensive or defensive lines.

Some of the blame lies elsewhere. Counting a missed field goal, there were three Saints turnovers that led to six points for the Browns. There was also a holding penalty, by a receiver, that forced the Saints to kick a field goal on the second drive of the game.
