Speaking of the run game, the Saints also sputtered there.

Credit, however, should be given to the Broncos' defense, which limited that whole unit to only 97 yards. Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams, each capable of dominating games, were dominated, failing to hit even 20 yards. In fact, the top rushers were sophomore Kendre Miller and Spencer Rattler; and even they combined for just 70, less than what Javonte Williams and Bo Nix managed, each.
