Kansas City Chiefs: Getting to know the New Orleans Saints before Week 15
By Cullen Jekel
Kansas City struggles defending against the run. How will the Saints exploit that on Sunday?
Nathan: “The Saints have used Latavius Murray in a plethora of ways. Assuming Brees doesn’t play, owning the clock and the pace will be highly important. They should use Murray more often or put Alvin Kamara in a few unexpected packages. Having two running backs that can dominate weak run games is truly a luxury for the Saints.”
The Chiefs’ offensive line is very banged up. Aside from Hendrickson, who on the Saints do you believe will pressure Mahomes?
Nathan: “It has to be Cameron Jordan. He hasn’t been *that* good this season, but he could make a statement against the Chiefs. if he can get to Mahomes and just get constant pressure, the entire game will open up for the Saints.”
Finally, who ya got on Sunday? What’s your prediction?
Nathan: “I’m rocking with the Saints 24-21. Really banking on this defense limiting Mahomes and Hill but that could be just a hope at this point.”

There you have it from a writer covering the Saints! The Saints are definitely at an interesting crossroads but they remain a dangerous team regardless of who’s under center. This is definitely no easy game for the Chiefs–but the same can obviously be said about the Saints.
