Etienne key to Saints' run-game strategy against weak Lions run defense.

The star running back was brought in by the Saints in the offseason to establish the run game, a priority emphasized by the team. Against a Lions run defense that ranked in the bottom half of the league in 2025, allowing 4.4 yards per carry, Etienne has an opportunity to establish the run and open up the offense for young quarterback Tyler Shough.
