Zach Strief: 'We have major problems on the road'

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief believes that his side have major problems playing away from home following their heavy defeat to the St Louis Rams.

Sean Payton's side were hammered for the second time in a row on the road as they were beaten by the Seattle Seahawks three weeks ago, along with their loss at Edward Jones Dome.

Strief told the New Orleans Times-Picayune: "I think it's obvious, there's something about us on the road that has to be addressed and fixed. There's something we have to identify, and we have to find it fast."

As a result of their defeat, the Saints slipped to 10-4 and are now only ahead of the Carolina Panthers due to their tie-break advantage, but they travel to their rivals on Sunday.
