2. BE SPECIAL: New Orleans is due for something big to happen on special teams – a blocked punt, a long punt or kick return, a forced fumble and recovery, several consecutive successful PATs. To that end, safety J.T. Gray almost blocked a punt against the Eagles, and he's the most likely candidate to cause a fumble on a kick return. It's a significant expectation, but Gray is a former All-Pro who's fully capable of making something happen. So, too, is receiver/returner Deonte Harris. He hasn't popped one in awhile, and Thanksgiving night would be the perfect time for a team that has been in need of such a swing. The PAT mention was half in jest, but only half – this team needs to make the routine kicks much more routine.
3. HEAVY D: The Saints' defense is supposed to be the strength of the team. In three losses (Giants, Falcons and Eagles) it hasn't come close to rising to the occasion. Allowing 242 rushing yards and three touchdowns to Philadelphia probably was the low point of the season. The pride of the unit has to surface, because the Bills have a quarterback (Josh Allen) and receiver (Stephon Diggs) who can collaborate to embarrass a defense. Allen isn't the runner that Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts is, but he's mobile and he can extend plays and even if he's not running and eluding, Diggs can make a defensive back appear to be out of sorts. The Saints didn't allow a ton of passing yards against the Eagles, but that mainly was because Philly was running so successfully, it didn't need to pass. The Bills will challenge the secondary much more and if the Saints aren't up to it, it'll be another long day on defense.
