NFL.com – 30 (=) “Head coach Kellen Moore arrived this year with the reputation of being an offensive whiz, and yet the Saints haven’t scored more than 19 points since Week 5, and they’ve only surpassed that mark twice all season.

About a month ago, the Jets stunned the NFL world by dealing homegrown, former All-Pro corner Sauce Gardner to the Colts.

It’s time to put up or shut up now.
