Saints vs. Steelers Matchups: New Orleans defense vs. Pittsburgh offense

The New Orleans Saints are coming off three straight road games, returning to the Mercedes Benz Superdome this Sunday to host the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Saints went 2-1 in those contests, despite some offensive inconsistencies that caused them to average less than 17 points during that three game stretch. A primary reason that they pulled off those two wins was because of the standout play of their defense. The 12-2 Saints have not allowed an opponent to score more than 17 points in the last six games, and have held 9 of their 14 opponents to 20 points or less.
