Saints running game must come to life against Ravens defense

Week 2 of the NFL season includes the New Orleans Saints playing at the Baltimore Ravens. It's the second straight road trip for the Saints, who dropped a highly entertaining 31-30 overtime heart-stopper at the Detroit Lions to open 0-1. The Ravens are playing their home opener after a decisive 41-23 win at the Indianapolis Colts to open up their year last week.

New Orleans got off to a rocky start offensively against the Lions. Their passing game came to life in a big way during the second half. However, the rushing attack stayed quiet throughout the contest. They now face a Ravens defense usually among the most physical in the NFL. Whether the New Orleans running game can wake up at Baltimore is the subject of this Week 2 game analysis.
