We are, after all, talking about a team that's currently in sole-possession of first-place in the NFC South, with a 6-3 record.

Red-zone defense, however, is not one of those strengths.

Through the first nine weeks of the 2011 NFL season, the Saints rank dead last in red-zone defense, with opponents scoring a touchdown over 70% of the time.

That's quite a difference from the Saints' Super Bowl Championship team of 2009, when they led the league in red-zone defense.

How are they working to improve in that area?

The Saints did only win by 13 points, but it felt as though they dominated at times, as they picked up 500+ yards of offense in the game.

The win moved to Saints to 3-1 on the year, with a road game against the Carolina Panthers scheduled on Sunday.
