Saints D/ST Records Blocked Kick Against Eagles

2 months ago

The New Orleans Saints D/ST put up a solid effort from a fantasy perspective in Week 3. In what was expected to be a shootout between two dynamic offenses, the Saints gave up only 15 points in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The squad had four sacks in the game, seven tackles for a loss, and recorded two takeaways. Safety Tyrann Mathieu intercepted a pass in the Saints' end zone to start the second quarter and the Eagles' next possession ended on a Jalen Hurts fumble, forced by defensive end Carl Granderson and recovered by Willie Gay. Perhaps most exciting was the blocked punt by J.T. Gray in the third quarter that set New Orleans up at Philadelphia's 27-yard line. Unfortunately, the Saints seemingly had no answer for Saquon Barkley on Sunday who ended the game with 147 rushing yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Pending Monday's results, the Saints D/ST ranks fifth in fantasy points scored and could be in store for another double-digit game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4.
