The Saints defense pitched just the third shutout we’ve seen in the NFL this year after the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this year. They forced five punts, intercepted their second pass of the year, and held the Raiders to just 183 total yards. The pass rush also showed up, sacking Derek Carr four times, with first round pick Payton Turner accounting for two of those sacks in his first game back since Week 4. Alontae Taylor and the defensive backs held Davante Adams to just one catch for 3 yards in what was the All-Pro receiver’s lowest output in a game since 2015.
