Saints' Alontae Taylor: Notches three sacks from secondary
Alontae Taylor recorded a career-high three sacks among his six total tackles and also broke up a pass in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.Heading into Sunday, Taylor had notched just one sack over his first 30 NFL games, but New Orleans Saints head coach and defensive play caller Dennis Allen dialed up blitzes from the third-year slot corner early and often. Taylor made most of his pass rushes and became the first player designated as a cornerback to record three sacks in a single game, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to come close to replicating his Week 1 performance over the rest of the season, but if Allen continues to make a concerted effort to deploy him as a blitzer, Taylor should easily lead all defensive backs in sacks. The Chiefs' Trent McDuffie paced all cornerbacks with three sacks in 2023.
