The Saints defense got significant contributions from relative unknowns Week 8 against the Bills. Linebacker David Hawthorne tied for the team lead with eight tackles, all solo, and forced a fumble that teammate Junior Galette recovered on a sack of quarterback Thad Lewis early in the first quarter. It was Hawthorne's second sack this season.
Galette forced a fumble on a sack of his own in the second quarter, but the Saints didn't recover it. He also had six tackles, including five solo. The sack was his fourth of the year.
Defensive lineman Glenn Foster also contributed a sack, his second of the year. It was his only tackle on the day.
