Some times you often hear the term “No Fly Zone” in the NFL. It was a term made famous by the 2015 Denver Broncos secondary because of their elite play in the defensive backfield. While other teams stake claim to the term, often times it’s more lip service than actual results. While last year’s New Orleans Saints’ defense may not have been the No Fly Zone, they were certainly making it hard on opposing offenses to throw the football.
The Saints were 2nd last season in opponent completion percentage at 59%, fifth in opponents yards per attempt at 6.
