It appears that since last season, the Saints have figured a few things out. Most importantly they appear to have solved their QB problem that had plagued them since Drew Brees retired following the 2020 season. Without going through the rogue's gallery of quarterbacks who started for the Saints since then -- one of whom Raiders fans may know pretty well -- suffice to say, they have their guy.
Tyler Shough is the man in New Orleans and he has come into his second season on a tear. After two games, Shough leads the NFL in passing.
But that's not all. His favorite receiver has also been lighting it up. Chris Olave is currently second in the league in receiving behind only reigning NFL offensive player of the year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Thus far the
Raiders secondary has played well, including last Sunday when they held Justin Herbert to 192 yards with two interceptions. But Herbert and the Chargers offense weren't exactly setting the world on fire before that, so it's not like the Raiders cooled him off or anything.
The Raiders will absolutely have to cool off a Saints offense that has scored 54 points the first two weeks and has put up big numbers against two tough teams in the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens.
