BREES VS RAMS DEFENSE
PostPosted:4 years 7 months ago
since joining the saints in 2006, the rams defense has made life tough for brees whenever he's had to travel away from his comfy new orleans digs to face them.
brees owns a career 1-3 road record against the rams while his saints have averaged a staggeringly low 18 offensive points per game in those meetings - moreover his road qb rating against the rams is a pedestrian 84.1; he's thrown 5 tds vs 6 picks... and it's not as if the rams just happened to catch brees and the saints on offensive off years, far from it, the saints ranked 1st in offensive scoring in two of those years and 4th in the two others.
compare that to what he's done to the rams defense when facing them in new orleans - 105.8 qb rating, 34 offensive points per game on avarage, 15 tds vs 5 picks, and those numbers would have been even higher if not for the tremendous defensive effort the rams delivered in last year's championship game.
team mcvay / phillips have faced brees and the saints 3 times - they held them to just 20 offensive points at home in 2017 and to just 23 offensive points on the road in the nfc cc game, the saints offense ranked 4th and 2nd in scoring those years... so can the boys dial up another defensive home gem this weekend? hell yeah!
