The New Orleans Saints are coming off their worst offensive performance of the season, getting blanked by the San Francisco 49ers 13-0 last Sunday. The shutout snapped a nearly 21-year streak of not being shutout: The last time the Saints put up a goose egg in the regular season came in the 2001 season, also against the 49ers. However, it's not about how hard you get hit, it's about how you get back up.
Believe it or not, New Orleans still has a shot at the NFC South crown, trailing Monday's opponent the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by 2.5 games with five games to go. A win under the lights would go a long way toward the Saints turning their season around.
Now, the Saints travel to Tampa for a do-or-die game. Here are five ways the Saints can get back up and kick-start a late playoff push Monday night:
1. Create chaos defensively: The Tampa Bay offense has struggled to produce points, ranking 27th in the NFL with just 18.2 points per game. That being said, the Saints defense ranks dead last in takeaways (seven) and are 14th in points allowed (23.3). Quarterback Tom Brady has done a good job protecting the ball, throwing just two interceptions. Meanwhile, the Saints have secured just two interceptions. New Orleans has to find a way to make Brady uncomfortable. The Saints defensive line should be able to wreak havoc in the backfield against a shaky offensive line that just allowed three sacks in a loss to Cleveland. The defensive stars along the front seven like Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis will need to bring their A-game under the lights.
