In his 10+ seasons as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton's team has never rushed for more yards. But if you know how I think, yards are like a winning lottery ticket: it is worth absolutely nothing unless you cash it. What's super impressive here is that the Saints attempted 42 rushes, versus 39 passes. If you ask me, that's even too many passing attempts, but hey, we're talking about the Saints here. Last week against Seattle, the Saints rushed 35 times, because the game plan was to control the ball and keep the Seahawks' defense on the field.
