Saints snap counts: Defense plays 48 snaps, fewest since 2013

After Sunday's 47-10 win, New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan joked that he contemplated running gassers because the Buffalo Bills were running so few offensive plays.

In a game in which the Saints dominated offensively and defensively, among the more staggering statistics is that the Bills had just 48 offensive snaps, a product of gaining just five first downs in the first 57 minutes of the game.

The 48 official snaps for the Saints defense was its fewest mark since Dec. 12, 2013, a 17-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers when the group played just 44 snaps.
