Offsides: Saints and Jets Match Strengths

The Saints have the top-ranked offense in the NFL and are second overall in rushing; they have actually rushed (102) more than they have passed (97). The Jets are third overall in defense and fifth in pass defense.

Partly because of their aggressive 3-4 scheme, the Jets blitz 62.60% of the time: In a win against the Patriots, the Jets hit Tom Brady seven times. But in a win against the Eagles, Drew Brees was 14 of 14 when Philly sent either one or two blitzers. What will give?
