Favors Under

The New Orleans Saints cornerbacks rank as the 6th-best group of CBs in football since the start of last season in pass coverage.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line has afforded their QB just 2.30 seconds before the pass (2nd-worst in the league since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all pass attack stats across the board.
The New Orleans Saints have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 13.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in football. Choosing not to keep an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have utilized play action on a measly 17.2% of their dropbacks since the start of last season (2nd-least in the league), making the offense more predictable and lowering passing effectiveness.
