Defenses look shaky for Packers, Saints

Looks like a couple teams have to outscore opponents. After watching the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints it sure looks like both teams have to come out throwing and putting points on the board at the quickest rate possible.

Both defenses are going to give up points and rushing yardage, which will affect time of possession. The Saints had the ball close to 19 minutes less than the Redskins at home and the Packers had the ball 6 minutes less than the 49ers.
