Re: Saints @ Cowboys
Saints defense played much better last night than expected. The Saints match up ok against the Bears. Bears have the best pass defense in the league, a lot of which is because of their great pass rush. The Saints have a great pass-blocking offensive line to counter the Bears pass rush, and Brees/Colston/Bush are very good working the short passing game. The Bears will take away the Saints deep passing game, but not the short game.
On the other side of the ball, the Saints can stop bad Rex but probably not good Rex. Good Rex probably beats the Saints, bad Rex probably doesn't. Of course a lot of it swings on Devin Hester and the Bears getting turnovers/returns from their defense.
