Ranking the Saints position groups on offense and defense

Teams that win most in the NFL follow two maxims: throwing the ball well and preventing the other team from throwing the ball. The New Orleans Saints are very aware of this, and the strengths of their units on offense and defense reflect that.

The offense is built around quarterback Drew Brees and focused on keeping him clean, so he has time to find the open receiver. On defense, resources have been poured into the secondary to limit big plays and create turnovers.
