Justin Houston - Dominant showing MondayHouston logged one interception and three tackles with 2.5 sacks during Monday's 27-13 victory versus the Saints.

ImpactAll of Houston's tackles came via sack as he repeatedly affected New Orleans signal-caller Andy Dalton, and he also hauled in the fifth interception of his career off a pass tipped by defensive end Brent Urban. The Ravens have unexpectedly relied on the 33-year-old linebacker, who only managed 4.5 sacks in 16 games last season, to play a prominent role in the team's banged-up pass-rushing corps. As a result, Houston has recorded 8.5 sacks on just 168 defensive snaps over six games played in 2022, and, so long as he can remain healthy, the veteran should finish with his most impactful season since his career-best 22-sack campaign in 2014. However, it's likely that Houston's production could slow down if Tyus Bowser and David Ojabo, who are coming off significant Achilles injuries, both manage to play against Carolina on Nov. 20.

Marlon Humphrey - Notches sack, pass defended MondayHumphrey recorded one pass defended and seven tackles (five solo) including one sack in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints.

ImpactHumphrey came away with his first sack of the season against New Orleans, as he went unblocked before bringing down quarterback Andy Dalton on a blitz late in the third quarter. With the Saints limited to just 49 offensive plays by Baltimore's defense, the All-Pro cornerback also finished with a team high in stops. Humphrey now has 35 tackles (25 solo), five passes defended and two interceptions in 2022, and should have a good chance to put up another prolific stat line in his team's next contest against Carolina on Sunday, Nov.20.

Demario Davis - Notches another sack MondayDavis logged seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss and one sack, in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

ImpactDavis set a new career high in sacks as he brought down Lamar Jackson at the line of scrimmage late in the third quarter. The 11th-year linebacker now sits at 50 tackles (32 solo), six sacks and two passes defended through nine games in 2022, and he's on track to log his sixth consecutive season with at least 100 tackles. Davis will look to keep up his consistent play against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Marcus Maye - Team-high 11 stopsMaye recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

ImpactMaye logged double-digit tackles for the first time this season against Baltimore. The 29-year-old safety missed Weeks 3 through 5 due to a rib injury, but he has now totaled 21 tackles (16 solo) while playing every defensive snap over the past four games. Maye will continue to prominently feature in New Orleans' secondary against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Adam Trautman - One catch in returnTrautman gathered in his lone target for eight yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat to the Ravens.

ImpactTrautman caught one pass for eight yards during his return from a two-week layoff due to an ankle issue. However, the tight end still played his second-fewest offensive snaps (18) of the year, ahead of only the game in which he was injured. While the 25-year-old could see his playing time increase as he puts the ankle issue further behind him, he still figures to slot in behind Juwan Johnson in usage. As a result, don't expect Trautman to attract significantly more opportunities against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Tre'Quan Smith - Three catches in lossSmith gathered in three of four targets for 29 yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat to the Ravens.

ImpactSmith tied with running back Alvin Kamara for the Saints' third most targets Monday. The 26-year-old also caught every ball thrown his way except for a tipped pass that was intercepted by Baltimore linebacker Justin Houston. While veteran Jarvis Landry (ankle) did not play for the fifth straight week, Smith still attracted fewer passes than fellow wideouts Chris Olave (nine) and Marquez Callaway (five). With Michael Thomas (toe) now set to miss the remainder of the season on IR, the 5-foot-11 Smith should once again amass a relatively moderate target share whether or not Landry returns against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Dwayne Washington - Totals 14 total yards in lossWashington logged three rushes for seven yards and reeled in his only target for seven yards during Monday's 27-13 defeat against Baltimore.

ImpactThe 28-year-old served as the Saints' de facto No. 2 running back with Mark Ingram out due to a sprained MCL. However, 23 of Washington's 28 snaps still came on special teams. With New Orleans' offense stymied for much of the game, starting running back Alvin Kamara handled nine of the team's 15 rushing attempts against Baltimore, while Taysom Hill and Andy Dalton split the other three. Washington should continue to play a minor role even if the Saints find more success on the ground versus Pittsburgh on Sunday.
