Degree of difficulty for Saints pass rushers climbs high in Week 15

Chase Young leads the New Orleans Saints in pressures and is one of the league leaders in pressures. Against the New York Giants, Young had the most pressures in a single game in his career.

It’s unlikely Young will get 10 pressures again this season, so that shouldn’t be looked at as the bar. However, Young will have a much more difficult time getting to Jayden Daniels compared to Drew Lock.

Daniels is more dynamic with his legs, but the road block for Young starts at the front line. Washington Commanders left tackle, Brandon Coleman, is one of the best pass-blocking offensive linemen in the NFL.

Week 15 will feature two players who are one of the best at what they do, and one of them has to break. Young is fourth in the NFL with a 17% pressure rate. That puts him up there with all-stars like Myles Garrett. Coleman has a pressure rate allowed of less than 8%, which is 10th-best in the league. Young must be on top of his game if he’s going to make as big an impact as we saw last week.
