Number Two: Cameron Jordan

Cameron Jordan had an outstanding game against the Denver Broncos and was a key reason as to why the Denver Broncos struggled to move the ball on Sunday. Jordan, 31, generated consistent pressure on the Broncos backfield and helped the Saints secure a much-needed win.

Jordan is no stranger to being amongst the best of the New Orleans defenders on a week to week basis.

In fact, Saints fans are so used to him being on the list that we oftentimes take him for granted. Jordan logged another impressive game vs the Broncos as he recorded two tackles, two tackles for a loss, four quarterback hits, and one sack.

Jordan managed to record four quarterback hits when a quarterback only dropped back to pass nine times.

Nearly half of the times the Broncos threw the ball Jordan was there to apply pressure and get in the face of Kendall Hinton. Jordan was a slept on defensive star for the Saints on Sunday and will look to continue another dominant season on Sunday in Atlanta.
