Saints learning how opposing defenses must've felt

METAIRIE (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are learning how opposing defenses must've felt the past few years.
Picked apart.
Run over.
Beaten down.
The Saints' defense is on pace for a truly historic season, and that's not a good thing. They have already become the first team since at least 1950 — maybe ever — to give up more than 400 yards in seven straight games. On average, they've surrendered 50 yards more per game than the NFL's next-worst team. If this keeps up, the Saints will obliterate the record for most yards allowed in a season.
Not surprisingly, the defending NFC South champions are off to a miserable start, going into Monday night's game against Philadelphia with a 2-5 record. But interim coach Joe Vitt says not major changes are planned.
