Los Angeles's primary disadvantage this season has been their offense, which has ranked #26 in football with a low 240 yards per game.

Los Angeles's defensive effectiveness bottoms out when it comes to defending opposing wide receivers, who have scorched them for 8.59 yards per target (#9-worst in the league).

New Orleans's biggest weakness has been their defense, ranking #29 in the league while allowing 396 yards per game. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #2-most yards per carry: 5.63. The Saints defensive tackles have played a big part in their inability to stop the run, ranking #2-worst in the NFL by this measure.
