NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan figures he and the rest of New Orleans’ defensive front should disrupt quarterbacks more than they have lately. Jordan doesn’t have a sack through the first four games of 2021 after racking up 48 during the previous four seasons. Meanwhile the Saints’ six sacks as a team ties for second to last in the NFL.

The Saints visit Washington and mobile QB Taylor Heinicke this Sunday.
