Strength (and Weakness?): This year's Saints are a new creation. After eons of relying almost exclusively on Drew Brees and the air game, New Orleans shredded teams on the ground in 2017 with the spicy combination of Mark Ingram and rookie Alvin Kamara. By the numbers, they're the first pair of teammate backs to each record 1,500-plus scrimmage yards. To the eyes, they're a brilliant meshing of rare individual gifts. Ingram runs with vicious authority, while Kamara is an eye-popping, unusual talent who wrecks teams weekly as a tackle-breaking, yards-after-the-catch receiving monster. The twosome leaves New Orleans as a dangerous entry in the NFC, but it's fair to ask if the Saints potentially peaked too soon. After averaging 166.9 ground yards per tilt from Week 6 through Week 13, the Saints have been held under 100 yards in three of their past four games. For success in January, the ground game must awaken in a hurry.
