These 16 players have outscored the New Orleans Saints offense through six weeks

It’s obvious that what the New Orleans Saints offense have done on offense hasn’t been good enough this season, but stats like this one are sobering. These 16 individual players have outscored the Saints offense on their own through six weeks between their efforts as passers, runners, receivers, and returners.

All the talent assembled in New Orleans hasn’t been enough to keep pace. The Saints offense has totaled 8 touchdowns (the team’s total rises to 10 thanks to a Rashid Shaheed punt return on special teams and a Tyrann Mathieu interception returned for a score defensively) altogether this season, with five touchdowns coming off of pass completions and three scoring runs. No wonder they’re barely treading water at 3-3.
