Saints Goal-Line Defense Is Tough To Penetrate
The New Orleans Saints' goal-line defense has stifled opponents all year. Jeff Duncan, of the Times-Picayune, has the story, below.

One of the most interesting things I heard during ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast of the New Orelans Saints at Atlanta Falcons game was Jon Gruden's analysis of the Saints' goal-line defensive package.
"The Saints have an exclusive goal-line package that is unique in the NFL," Gruden said.
It's not just unique. It's effective. In fact, the Saints' goal-line defense has been one of the most improved aspects of the team this season.
