What happened: Marlon Humphrey said New Orleans is "pretty efficient with the pass game" as attention turned to the Saints ahead of Week 2. The remark adds an outside read on an offense that made an immediate impact in its opener.

Why it matters: That matters because early respect for the passing game can force a different defensive plan in the second week of the regular season. It also keeps the spotlight on the Saints after a Week 1 showing that pushed their offense into focus.

By the numbers: New Orleans is coming off a Week 1 performance with 410 passing yards and three touchdown passes, according to Wire Report's Sept. 14 coverage.

What to watch: Week 2 will show whether that efficiency holds once defenses adjust to New Orleans' opening tendencies. The next injury report and game plan clues should offer the clearest read on how much of that approach carries forward.
