Staley's mixed coverage scheme forced Jackson into difficult throws in Saints upset.

Brandon Staley's Saints defense expertly mixed Cover 4 and Cover 1 schemes to stifle Lamar Jackson and force him to make difficult throws; the defensive gameplan specifically targeted Jackson's boot action plays that had gashed the Colts in Week 1, with Staley making Jackson take the harder deep out or deep comeback throws rather than allowing him to flood one side of the field.
