The missing chunk plays: How the Saints stalled in 2025, and what comes next
About this episode
Even with an optimistic finish to the 2025 season, the New Orleans Saints lagged well behind the NFL in one specific category: Explosive plays, which are defined as pass plays of 16-plus yards or run plays of 12-plus yards. The issue improved with Tyler Shough at quarterback, but it feels like there's still plenty of room to grow. Our Saints Insiders examine what caused the issue, why Shough improved it and some possible answers from this offseason in a wide-ranging discussion. Plus, we offer thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons hiring Kevin Stefanski and the NFC and AFC championship games this weekend.
