New Orleans Saints: 3 Bold predictions for Week 11 vs. Eagles
3. P.J. Williams gets back on track
Despite being one of the best defensive units in the league, the Saints defense is still severely underrated. Even before they earned that title, most of their players were underrated. Most notably, Cameron Jordan, but he’s finally getting some recognition.

Jordan might not be underrated anymore, but there are still some guys who don’t get the credit they deserve. One of those guys is P.J. Williams. Williams has been with the team since 2015, but didn’t break out until last season. Coupled with Marshon Lattimore and Marcus Williams, the three were a nightmare for opposing offenses in the secondary.
Thus far, Williams has played at a similarly high level. His pick-six against the Vikings was the latest in his highlight reel, but he had a good game against the Rams, too. He didn’t contribute much against the Bengals, but I look for that to change this week.
Against the Eagles, I predict Williams will have another good game. At the very least, I see him being the reason for an Eagles turnover. Maybe he’ll end the game with a tackle or two as well. While he might not have a breakout game, I think he’s going to have an incredible game and get back to playing as he did in Weeks 9 and 10.
