NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger believes the Baltimore Ravens have the best defense in the league but knows the team's game against the New Orleans Saints Oct. 21 will be a legitimate test of that sentiment.
Baltimore's defense allowed a combined 12 points during the past two weeks, most recently shutting out Tennessee, 21-0, Oct. 14. The game prior, the Ravens lost in overtime to the Cleveland Browns despite holding them to a dozen points.
The Ravens have allowed the fewest points per game (12.8) in the NFL, establishing themselves as one of the league's elite defensive units. That stinginess, though, could break down in Week 7.
