Why the New Orleans Saints will make the playoffs: No. 5, Improved defense

Training camp is nearly two weeks away, and it’s hard to not jump out of your chair with excitement. The New Orleans Saints season is right around the corner, as last Sunday marked nine weeks until the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
