Back in Black and Gold? Breaking down the revival of the New Orleans Saints’ defense in 2025

Back in Black and Gold? Breaking down the revival of the New Orleans Saints’ defense in 2025

Prior to and in the early portions of the 2025 NFL regular season, things appeared bleak for the state of the New Orleans Saints’ defense behind new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Many pinpointed a diminished pass rush, injuries, and the retirement of Tyrann Mathieu as factors that would lead to a lack of success in Staley’s first season in the Big Easy.

However, Staley and Co. have not only blocked out the noise and proved doubters wrong, but they’ve actually put together a squad that is in large part responsible for the Saints’ late-season turnaround, which is putting many teams...

LSU vs. Houston: Texas Bowl Open Thread

Tonight, the LSU Tigers (7-5) face the #21 Houston Cougars (9-3) in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl. This marks a second-consecutive appearance in the Texas Bowl for LSU. LSU has suffered through a very disappointing season and it all comes to an end today, just like the year itself. Although they come into this game as an underdog that hoped to have a much better season, they have pride to play for today, and we’ll see if that’s enough against the 21st-ranked home team.

Saints Rookie Impact Report: Week 17

Saints Rookie Impact Report: Week 17

Let’s start the breakdown for the New Orleans Saints’ Sunday matchup against the Tennessee Titans!

OT Kelvin Banks

Against the New York Jets, Banks had an overall pretty good day, but there was a stretch of plays in which he got absolutely dominated. For the first time this season, he truly looked like a rookie, and he got beaten around 7 times in a row. The Titans do not have the best group of edge rushers, but Jidah Ward is 15th in QB hits this season, so he is going to be a player to watch all game.

QB Tyler Shough vs. QB Cam Ward

Sunday’s Saints vs. Titans matchup will be highlighted by one thing: rookie quarterbacks. When the season began, I marked this probably meaningless Week 17 game as my must-watch for the season. We all knew Shough would eventually take over for New Orleans at quarterback, and this game would be a battle from the first quarterback taken in the 2025 NFL Draft against the third.

Sunday’s game will be a peek into the future. Shough has shown that, despite being the most overlooked quarterback in the draft, he could be a star in...
