THE MATCHUP Following a first-round bye after clinching the number one postseason seed in the NFC, the New Orleans Saints (13-3) host the Philadelphia Eagles (10-7) in the Divisional Playoffs at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Sunday’s game marks the first time the club will host an NFL Divi-sional Playoff as a top-two seed since the 2009 season.

The Saints enter the contest following a banner 2018 campaign under Head Coach Sean Payton. During a 13-3 campaign, the Saints had a 13-3 record, with a ten game winning streak.

New Orleans closed the regular season with the league’s No. 6-ranked rushing offense and the second-ranked rushing defense, with a club-record five players selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team. QB Drew Brees was selected as a second-team All-Pro and as the NFC starter in the Pro Bowl, breaking his own NFL record for completion percentage and leading the NFL with a ca-reer-high 115.7 passer rating. LT Terron Armstead, who protected Brees’ blind side, joined the quarterback as both an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection. RT Ryan Ramczyk was an All-Pro, while C Max Unger was selected to the Pro Bowl.

Brees was far from alone in creating the offensive fire-works for the Saints, as WR Michael Thomas was selected first-team All-Pro and as a Pro Bowl starter after recording a league-best and club-record 125 receptions for a team-record 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns, enjoying the most prolific pass-catching season ever for a Saint. The New Orleans running game was once again led by Mark Ingram II and Alvin Kamara, who combined for 1,538 rushing yards, 102 receptions for 879 yards and 25 total touchdowns.

On defense, DE Cameron Jordan was voted to his fourth Pro Bowl and his second straight year as an All-Pro after posting his fourth double-digit sack season with 12 takedowns. DT Sheldon Rankins provided a solid comple-ment to Jordan on the interior when he posted eight sacks.

LB Demario Davis, a key free agent acquisition, emerged as a leader of the defense, leading the team with 110 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles and one fum-ble recovery.

Philadelphia enters Sunday’s game after a 16-15 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card Playoff at Soldier Field. The Saints and the Eagles met Nov. 18, a 48-7 New Orleans win. The Eagles lead the regular season series 16-12, while the Saints have a 2-1 postseson edge.

THE COACHES

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 125-79 overall record (.613), including a 7-5 postseason mark (.583) after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival. Payton holds both the club’s top win to-tal and winning percentage. He continues to represent the Saints as the model of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the NFL. Only the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer. Payton is also one of just seven active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Oakland Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), the Baltimore Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Doug Pederson and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2018 Saints edition posted a 13-3 regular season record and secured the NFC’s number one seed for the postseason. A franchise-record five play-ers were selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team. New Orleans’ ten-game winning streak was the second-longest in club history and the longest streak in the NFL this season. The streak only sits behind in club record books, New Orleans’ 13-0 start under Payton in 2009, the season when they captured Super Bowl XLIV. The 2017 Saints squad yielded an 11-5 regular season record, pro-ducing their first playoff berth since 2013, behind a squad led by quarterback Drew Brees offensively and defensive end Cameron Jordan defensively, this team featured sev-en players selected to the Pro Bowl, tied for the most in club history and four draft picks selected to the PFWA All-Rookie Team, two more than any other club. With running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the 2017 Saints were the first team to have both the Associat-ed Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year since 1967. The Saints defense saw improvement in virtually every major statistical category. New Orleans moved up ten spots in total defense, includ-ing from 32nd to 15th against the pass. After ranking 31st in opponent points per game in 2016, New Orleans moved up to tenth in 2017, surrendering only 20.4 points per game. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communica-tions at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA history. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in September of 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Doug Pederson was named head coach of the Philadel-phia Eagles on January 18, 2016, after having served as the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator (2013-15). In 2018, Pederson helped the Eagles win their last four games to reach the playoffs and then defeat the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card round. In just his second sea-son as an NFL head coach, Pederson led the Eagles to a 13-3 regular-season record, an NFC East title, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and to victory in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots. As a first-year head coach with the Eagles in 2016, Pederson helped develop rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who set a team and all-time NFL rookie record with 379 completions. Under Ped-erson’s direction, Wentz also posted franchise rookie rec-ords in pass attempts, passing yards and passing touch-downs. Pederson, who enjoyed a 12-year playing career in the NFL, began his pro coaching career in Philadelphia where he served under Andy Reid as an offensive quality control coach (2009-2010) and quarterbacks coach (2011-12).Pederson attended Northeast Louisiana, where he was a three-year starter at quarterback and graduated with a B.B.A. in business management. A 12-year NFL veteran, he played quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Eagles and Cleveland Browns. Pederson served as a backup quarterback for the Packers when the team won Super Bowl XXXI. Began coaching as head coach at Calvary Baptist Academy (Shreveport, LA).

LAST POSTSEASON MEETING

NFC Wild Card Playoff: New Orleans Saints 26, Phila-delphia Eagles 24; January 4, 2014 @ Lincoln Financial Field – After kicker Shayne Graham’s 32-yard field goal went through the uprights as time expired, the New Orle-ans Saints had advanced to the second round of the playoffs and had recorded their first postseason road win in franchise history.

The New Orleans rushing attack led the way with 185 yards, keyed by running back Mark Ingram’s 97 yards on the ground. Making his first career postseason appear-ance, Ingram also ran for a touchdown and had three re-ceptions for 17 yards.

After a scoreless first quarter, New Orleans jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a field goal, but Philadelphia struck on a ten-yard touchdown pass. The Saints went into halftime with a 7-6 deficit after Graham hit his second field goal as time expired at the end of the half.

After New Orleans forced a three-and-out to open the second half, Ingram got loose for an 18-yard run and two plays later, quarterback Drew Brees connected with wide receiver Lance Moore for a 24-yard touchdown to give the Saints a 13-7 advantage. Ingram put the Saints further ahead 20-7 on a four-yard touchdown run later in the third quarter. Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy matched it with a one-yard touchdown run at the end of the third quarter to bring them back to within six.

The clubs traded field goals at the start of the fourth quarter, but then Philadelphia took at 24-23 lead with 4:54 remaining in the game on a touchdown.

With the season on the line, running back Darren Sproles returned the game’s final kickoff 39 yards and an additional 15 yards were added on a horse collar tackle penalty to set the Saints up at the Philadelphia 48-yard line. The Saints ate up all the clock on a drive that consist-ed of eight runs and one pass, setting up the game-winner by Graham as time expired.

WEEK 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48, Saints 40; Sep-tember 9, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints' 2018 regular season got off to a disappointing start as the Buccaneers took a 48-40 victory at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, dropping their opener for the fifth con-secutive season.

Trailing by 24 points in the fourth quarter, the Saints rallied behind a pair of Alvin Kamara touchdowns, a one-yard rushing score and a seven-yard pass from QB Drew Brees,

The Saints converted two-point plays on both touchdowns. But Tampa was able to run out the clock to claim the road victory.

Veteran signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick, filling in for suspend-ed starting QB Jameis Winston, had one of the most pro-ductive games of his career, passing for 417 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for another score. WRs Mike Evans (seven catches for 147 yards and one touch-down) and DeSean Jackson (five catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns) did the most damage in the passing game as the Saints defense didn't force its first punt until 7:42 was remaining in the third quarter.

The Saints offense kept up with the Buccaneers for the first half - scoring 24 points - but sputtered at the start of the second half with two punts and a lost fumble (WR Michael Thomas) on the first three possessions. Later on the first half Buccaneers returned RB Mike Gillislee's fumble 34 yards for a score.

Thomas' fumble was the lone miscue in a record-setting performance for the third-year wideout as he had 16 catch-es for 180 yards and one six-yard touchdown. He set the team's single-game receptions record and in what was also the highest receptions total on National Football League kickoff weekend.

The Bucs finished with 529 yards of offense while the Saints had 475.

WEEK 2: Saints 21, Cleveland Browns 18; September 16, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints earned their first win of 2018 with a 21-18 come-from-behind victory over Cleveland at the Mercedes-Benz Su-perdome in what would be the start of a winning streak that extended to ten games. New Orleans also avoided having to dig themselves out of an 0-2 start for the first time since 2013.

After the two clubs traded field goals in the first quarter, Cleveland K Zane Gonzalez kicked a 39-yard field goal with 1:55 left in the second quarter to give the Browns a 6-3 lead going into halftime.

To open up the second half of play, the Cleveland defense forced a three-and-out on New Orleans. Browns QB Tyrod Taylor then led Cleveland on a 12-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by RB Carlos Hyde to take a12-3 lead following a missed extra point attempt.

New Orleans’ offensive struggles continued as a promising drive that had the Saints at third-and-one at the Cleveland 40-yard line was derailed when Brees was sacked by Larry Ogunjobi for a ten-yard loss and the Black and Gold were forced to punt.

The club’s then traded punts, but despite P Thomas Mor-stead placing a punt out of bounds at the Steelers three-yard line, Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger completed a 15-play, 97-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown to RB Jaylen Samuels followed by a two-point conversion com-pletion to WR Eli Rogers to tie the game. However, Brees completed a pass to Kamara for a 31-yard gain that left time and range for K Wil Lutz to drill a 43-yard field goal, setting a franchise record with his 26th consecutive suc-cessful kick.

New Orleans got the ball coming out the half and Kamara ended a 11-play, 75-yard drive with a one-yard rushing touchdown. Pittsburgh answered on the next drive though with Roethlisberger completing a three-yard touchdown to WR Antonio Brown, followed by a New Orleans punt and a 20-yard TD pass to Brown to give the Steelers a 28-24 edge. Hill would be selected as NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

Following a Saints three-and-out that spanned into the fourth quarter, New Orleans S Kurt Coleman forced Steel-ers RB Stevan Ridley to fumble on a third-and-two situa-tion, with DE Alex Okafor recovering. However New Orle-ans’ momentum was stopped when a 50-yard field goal attempt by Lutz was blocked. On Pittsburgh’s next posses-sion, LB Craig Robertson successfully snuffed out a fake punt attempt to give the Saints the ball back at the Pitts-burgh 46. On a fourth-and-two, Steelers CB Joe Haden was assessed a pass interference infraction, giving the Saints new life. The next game-turning play was a 25-yard completion from Brees to Ginn on third-and-20. Two plays later, the signal-caller completed a two-yard touchdown to WR Michael Thomas to give the Saints the 31-28 lead. Pittsburgh got the ball back and Roethlisberger led the Steelers to the New Orleans 42 after an illegal contact pen-alty assessed to LB Alex Anzalone with 41 seconds left, but on a completion to Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, DT Sheldon Rankins stripped the ball and it was recovered by LB Demario Davis to preserve the win

• New Orleans took down Roethlisberger three times to up their sack total for the season to 49, which would tie the season-best for a Sean Payton-coached team.

• For the sixth consecutive contest, the Saints held an op-

ponent scoreless in the fourth quarter.

• Brees completed 27-of-39 passes for 326 yards with one touchdown, zero interceptions and a 103.2 passer rating. Not playing in the season finale, Brees would finish the season with an NFL-record 74.4 completion percentage. Thomas had 11 grabs for 109 yards and the fourth-quarter go-ahead touchdown.

WEEK 17: Carolina Panthers 33, New Orleans Saints 14; December 30, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – With a large number of the Saints’ starters watching from the sidelines for most of the contest because the club had already clinched the NFC’s number one seed in the playoffs, the Saints ended their regular season 13-3 after the loss in the 2018 finale.

QB Drew Brees did not play in a contest for only the third time as a Saint, as fellow starters such as T Terron Arm-stead, T Jermon Bushrod, WR Ted Ginn Jr., T Ryan Ramczyk and G Larry Warford also sat out.

Carolina QB Kyle Allen made his first career NFL start and when Carolina got the ball first, he engineered a 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with him scoring a one-yard rush-ing touchdown. The Panthers then took a 13-0 lead later in the first quarter when RB Cameron Artis-Payne had a 15-yard rushing touchdown.

Trailing 30-0, New Orleans finally got on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter on a nine-yard touchdown pass from QB Teddy Bridgewater to rookie WR Tre’Quan Smith with 13:28 remaining in game. When the Panthers got the ball back, Carolina QB Garrett Gilbert connected with TE Ian Thomas for a 31-yard completion on second-and-two, set-ting up a 51-yard field goal. Bridgewater was picked off on the ensuing drive, but the Saints would get on the score-board once more with a nine-yard rushing touchdown by QB Taysom Hill.

• Bridgewater had his first start since the 2015 NFC Wild Card Playoff as a member of the Minnesota Vikings and completed 14-of-22 passes for 118 yards with one touch-down and one interception.

• After allowing only three yards per carry in the contest, New Orleans finished the season ranked second in the National Football League in both rush defense and oppo-nent yards per rush (3.6).

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft, free agency and trade to the 2018 Saints offensive line:

LT Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead im-pressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He has opened 54 regular season games for New Orleans and four postseason contests and received his first Pro Bowl and Associated Press All-Pro selections in 2018, having opened ten contests.

T/G Jermon Bushrod - A fourth round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Towson, Bushrod developed into a starting left tackle by his third season and opened 62 regu-lar season contests at left tackle. Bushrod returns to serve as a top backup off the bench. He filled in for an injured Bushrod seamlessly in a Nov. 11 win at Cincinnati for three quarters and then opened the next five games.

T/G Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was considered one of the top college offensive linemen in 2014. In his final season in Palo Alto as a junior, Peat started all 13 games at left tackle and was named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com, The Sporting News and SI.com and received second-team honors from the Associated Press. In his first

three seasons, Peat has played in 53 games with 48 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2018, Peat continued to progress, opening 12 contests at left guard and one at left tackle.

RT Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their sec-ond first round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to snag Ramczyk out of Wisconsin, viewed by many as one of the best linemen in the entire draft. In just one season with the Badgers, the 6-6, 314-pound lineman flourishe, starting all 14 games in 2016 aas a consensus All-American, blocking for an offense that gained 203.1 rushing yards per game and allowing just one sack. After opening all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie, he was an AP All-Pro at right tackle in 2018

C Max Unger - After being acquired by the Saints via trade in the 2015 offseason, Max Unger has anchored the middle of the line for the past four seasons, starting all 63 contests he’s appeared in at center and serving as a three-time team captain. A second round draft pick of the Seattle Sea-hawks in 2009, Unger has been named an Associated Press first-team All-Pro in 2012 and is a three-time Pro Bowler. The Hawaii native’s opened all 130 regular season contests he has played in since 2009.

RG Larry Warford - Originally selected by Detroit in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft (65th overall) out of Ken-tucky, this sixth-year blocker brought size, strength and foot quickness to the Saints’ line in 2017, as he started all 14 regular season games he played in and both postseason contests at right guard. New Orleans’ rush offense re-sponded to his addition, as the ground game finished fifth in the NFL as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.

C/G Cameron Tom - Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2017, former Catholic (Baton Rouge) High School standout was elevated from the prac-tice squad to 53-man roster midway through his rookie year. Tom’s development came into play on Oct. 21 at Bal-timore, where he was sent into the lineup at left guard in place of an injured Josh LeRibeus in a come-from-behind victory.

C/G Will Clapp - A technically proficient player, who through the combination of size, strength and intelligence, was a three-year starter on the LSU offensive line, starting all 36 games that he appeared in (13 at center, 12 at left guard, 11 at right guard), earning first-team All-SEC honors at guard and center. Blocking for 1,000-yard rushers in each of his three college seasons, Clapp settled in at cen-ter in 2017, where he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a Rimington Trophy finalist. Clapp made his first career start at left guard in the regular season finale.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last four NFL Drafts from 2015-18, New Orleans has shown a commitment to improving the defense, spend-ing 17-of-28 picks on that side of the ball. With nine picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Saints picked six defensive players, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine defensive players in a 12-round selection meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the players selected by New Orleans from 2015-18 on the 53-man roster:

LB Alex Anzalone, Florida (D3b-17) - A 6-3, 241 lb. line-backer, Anzalone showcased plenty of potential at Florida. As a senior in 2016, he started the first eight contests for the Gators until a broken forearm prematurely ended his final campaign in Gainesville. Despite the shortened sea-son, Anzalone still ranked third on the team with 53 tackles and racked up three sacks and one fumble recovery. The three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient plays with both physicality and intelligence and made an immediate impact as a starter on the outside from day one in 2017 where he recorded 14 tackles, one sack and one pass de-fensed for being placed on Injured Reserve in Week Five. Anzalone played in all 16 regular season games and started seven contests on the inside and the outside in 2018, filling up the stat sheet by posting 61 tackles (45 solo), one inter-ception, two sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles.

S Vonn Bell, Ohio State (D2b-16) - Selected in the sec-ond round (61st overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft, Bell was a consensus All-American and one of the top rated defensive backs in the NFL Draft. As a senior, the Rossville, Ga. na-tive was a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist after recording 65 tackles and adding two interceptions, one brought back for a touchdown, one fumble recovery and 11 passes de-fensed. Bell has translated that collegiate success to the NFL with ease in his first three seasons, appearing in 48 games with 32 starts and filling up the stat sheet with 262 tackles (176 solo), 6.5 sacks, ten passes defensed, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. In 2018, he led the Saints secondary with 86 stops.

DE Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio (D1-18) - Davenport joined the Saints with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after showing potential and production as a pass rusher during in college at Texas-San Antonio. In four seasons, Davenport posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he captured Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. Davenport’s strength on the line is a valuable asset for the Saints front, playing an important role in the club’s packages in 2018, recording 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

DT Tyeler Davison, Fresno State (D5b-15) - This run-stopping widebody lineman played in 53 career games at

Fresno State from 2011-14 and made 28.5 stops for a loss and 14.5 sacks. After moving into the starting lineup in 2016, in 2018, Davison’s played an important role in the middle on a defense ranked second In opponent yards per game and opponent yards per carry, posting 26 stops, two sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.

DE Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic (D3c-17) - This third round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (103rd overall) out of Florida Atlantic brought his raw talent, size, strength and speed to a youthful Saints defensive line. In his first season as a pro the rotational pass rusher appeared in 14 regular season games posting 14 tackles (eight solo), two sacks for 15 yards lost, two passes defensed and one forced fumble.

CB Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State (D1a-17) - The 11th overall selection in the 2017 NFL draft and the first corner taken possesses all the traits of a lockdown defender. With his agile, fluid style, Lattimore has the ability to shut down the best wide receivers. He played a critical role in the Black and Gold pass defense unit as a rookie in 2017, as he moved into the starting lineup immediately. In October, he became the first Saints rookie since 2000 to capture NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month, when he had 16 tackles, two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, five pass-es defensed and a fumble recovery and also captured the award in December. For the season, he finished with 53 stops, five picks, to lead NFL rookies and the Saints, tying a team rookie record, a club-best 18 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a recovery. Lattimore was the first Saints corner selected to the Pro Bowl since 1995 and was select-ed as Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. His five takeaways (two interceptions and three fumble recover-ies) in 2018 led the team.

DT David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Lagos, Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becoming the first player from the University of Manitoba to be drafted into the NFL. Despite being new to football, the 2016 fourth round draft pick became a critical member on the interior of the Saints defensive front in 2017, playing in all 16 games with six starts, making 40 tackles and two sacks, while add-ing three more stops in the postseason. Onyemata had a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2018.

DT Sheldon Rankins, Louisville (D1-16) - Selected 12th overall in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Georgia native played in 46 games along the line at Louisville from 2012-15, producing 133 total tackles (72 solo), 31.5 tackles for loss and 18 sacks. On Nov. 12, 2017, Rankins recorded his first career interception. In the week 15 win vs. Atlanta, he closed out the contest with a sack. Rankins added his first career postseason takedown.

S Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior before declaring for the NFL Draft. In 2016, he tied for second in the confer-ence with five interceptions, despite missing two games due to injury. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the ball. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in 2017 as he made 70 tackles, four inter-ceptions and six passes defensed in 15 regular season games, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in two postseason contests. In 2018, he posted 55 tackles (45 solo), two interceptions for 100 yards, three passes defensed, a forced fumble/fumble recovery and two special teams stops.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Williams’ ca-reer was initially limited in the beginning by missing all but two games his first two seasons with various injuries, but he rebounded from the adversity early in his career to come on strong in 2017, when he played in all 16 regular season games and both postseason contests. An experi-enced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners as a junior in 2014, Williams finished his college career with 123 tackles (82 solo), four interceptions and 18 passes defensed. Williams finished with 47 tackles, his first two career interceptions and nine passes defensed in 2017, while adding 53 more stops (43 solo), a 45-yard interception for a TD, a sack, nine passes defensed and a forced fumble in 2018 while serving primar-ily in the nickel cornerback role. Williams enjoyed his finest moment as a pro Oct. 28 at Minnesota, when his third quar-ter interception return for a 45-yard touchdown helped pace the Saints’ 30-20 victory earning him NFC Defensive Player of the Week, followed up by a career-high-tying three pass-es defensed in the win vs. the Rams, Nov. 4.

JUST KICKING IT

Between deep passes for touchdowns and athletic inter-ceptions, players often use their hands to produce the game’s flashiest plays. However, the players who use their feet often make the difference between winning and losing, between drilling clutch field goals or flipping the field with a well-executed punt.

K Wil Lutz went undrafted in 2016, joining the Baltimore Ravens for training camp. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lutz joined the Black and Gold and immediately took on placekicking and kickoff duties. Lutz has kicked in 48 games, converting 87-of-100 field goal attempts (87.0 percent) and 148-of-153 PATs (96.7 percent). He has also recorded 171 touchbacks on 281 career kickoffs. His 87.0 percent field goal percentage is best among kickers with at least 50 made field goals in team history. Until the regular season finale, he had kicked a field goal in a club-record 36 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in NFL his-tory.

In the 2018 regular season, Lutz made 28-of-30 field goal attempts, including a club-record 26 straight at one point, 52-of-53 PAT attempts and has recorded 64 touchbacks, also adding one special teams tackle.

SWISS ARMY KNIFE

New Orleans QB Taysom Hill, in his second year with the club, has brought unheralded versatility to the Saints on both offense and special teams. A participant on every spe-cial teams unit except field goal and PAT, as well as a sig-nal-caller, runner and receiver on offense, In the regular season, Hill averaged 24.9 yards per return on 14 kickoff returns, had six coverage stops to rank second on the team, completed a ten-yard pass on a fake punt in Week Four and blocked a punt on December 9 at Tampa Bay. Overall in 2018, Hill’s carried 37 times for 196 yards (5.3 avg.), ranked third on the team with two touchdowns and completed three of seven passes for 64 yards. The blocked punt against the Buccaneers earned him Week 14 NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led the past two seasons by Hill, safety Chris Banjo and defensive back Justin Hardee. Hardee led the team with nine stops and a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown as a rookie in 2017 and Banjo finished with eight tackles and a forced fumble. In 2018, Hardee led the team in the regular season with a career-high ten stops, with Hill is ranked second with six stops apiece. Defensive end Alex Okafor also made a game-changing play at Atlanta, Sept. 23, when his third quarter blocked punt that was recovered by linebacker Craig Robertson at the Falcons 16-yard line, set up a subsequent New Orleans touchdown. Robertson also made a big play in the November 4 win over Los Angeles

when he stopped rams holder Johnny Hecker short of the first down marker on a fake field goal attempt. He did the same December 23 vs. Pittsburgh in a crucial fourth quar-ter situation to snuff out a fake punt attempt. New Orleans’ punt coverage unit finished the regular season ranked third in the National Football League, surrendering only 5.0 yards per return. The 60 punt return yards given up by the coverage units were the lowest in club record books, the lowest total in the NFL in 2018 and the fifth-lowest total since the 16-game schedule started in 1978.

• In the 2018 regular season, Ginn posted 17 receptions for 209 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing three times for 26 yards. Spending the bulk of the season on Injured Reserve, Ginn returned to the lineup on December 23 vs. Pittsburgh and had five grabs for 74 yards. He saved his best for last though with a fourth quarter third down 25-yard grab on New Orleans’ game-winning drive.

KEITH KIRKWOOD

• A 6-3, 210 undrafted rookie wideout from Temple, who finished his college career with 103 receptions for 1,638 yards (15.9 avg.) and 16 touchdowns, Kirkwood garnered a practice squad spot following an impressive preseason. Activated to the 53-man roster in Week ten, he has posted 13 receptions for 209 yards (16.1 avg.) and two touch-downs, including two grabs for 35 yards on December 23 vs. Pittsburgh as he adds a size element to the club’s wide receiver corps.

In his first full season after missing seven con-tests as a rookie, Rankins’ ability to rush the passer from the inside as well as take on double teams proved benefi-cial in 2017 helping the defense post 42 sacks, ranking seventh in the league, compared to only 30 in 2016. In 2018, Rankins had a career-high 42 tackles (26 solo), a forced fumble and a career-best eight sacks to rank second on the club and tied for sixth in the National Football League among defensive tackles, while the Orleans pass rush increased its sack total to 49, tied for fifth in the league.

Lattimore came through for the defense at the New York Giants (9/30). He made a big play in the second quarter when he picked up a fumble forced by his teammate P.J. Williams and returned it to the New York 11-yard line 37 yards. He finished adding four solo tackles for his effort. Lattimore was also assigned to Giants standout WR Odell Beckham Jr. , who averaged only 8.6 yards per catch.

In the Oct. 28 win at Minnesota, Lattimore picked up a fum-ble deep in Saints territory and returned it 54 yards to set up a touchdown before halftime that gave New Orleans the lead for good.

In the November 8 win at Philadelphia, Lattimore recorded his first pick of the 2018 season in the first quarter of the 48-7 win.

In a Thanksgiving night win vs. Atlanta, Lattimore stripped Falcons WR Calvin Ridley at the New Orleans three-yard line, saving a touchdown and ensuring the Saints’ tenth straight victory.

Lattimore recorded a fumble recovery on November 29 at Dallas, snuffing out a potential Cowboys scoring drive.

In The December 9 win at Tampa Bay, Lattimore closed out the win on the next to last play of the game by picking off Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston in the end zone.

ELI APPLE

• The tenth overall pick of the New York Giants in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Ohio State and a former teammate in the Buckeyes defensive backfield with Lattimore and Vonn Bell, since being acquired by New Orleans, Bell has made a positive impact in the Saints secondary.

CORNERBACKS

OUT OF THE MARSH

MARCUS WILLIAMS

• After being selected in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft (42nd overall) out of Utah, this ball-hawking safety had an excellent rookie campaign starting all 15 games he ap-peared in posting 70 tackles (56 solo), four interceptions and six passes defensed. Williams led rookie safeties in interceptions and was second in tackles and passes de-fensed, including two picks in the regular season finale. He also posted his first career postseason interception, which was the only pick made by a rookie in the playoffs. Williams has built on an impressive rookie season as one of the cen-terpieces of one of the National Football League’s young-est defensive backfields, tying for the club lead with two picks in 2018 and with a fumble recovery on Thanksgiving night vs. Atlanta. Overall, he’s opened all 16 games and posted 55 tackles, a sack, three passes defensed and a forced fumble to go with his takeaways.

KURT COLEMAN

• This smart, versatile veteran safety brings experience and a wealth of knowledge to a young secondary. A sev-enth round pick (244th overall) of the Eagles in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, after spending his first five seasons in Philadelphia and Kansas City, Coleman record-ed 11 interceptions over three seasons in Carolina. Overall, he’s appeared in 132 regular season games with 83 starts, posting 527 tackles, two sacks, 21 interceptions, two re-turns for TDs, 29 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 35 special teams stops. In 2018, he played in all 16 games with nine starts and posted 30 stops (20 solo) and added a key fourth quarter forced fumble in the December 23 win over Pittsburgh.

VONN BELL

• Bell left onlookers impressed with his 2016 rookie cam-paign. Playing in every game with 14 starts, he totaled 98 tackles (59 solo), second on the team, four passes de-fensed, a sack, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft (61st overall), Bell was a consensus first-team All-American as a junior at Ohio State. In 2017, he played in all 16 games with ten starts and posted a team-high 78 tackles (57 solo), 4.5 sacks, tied for second on the club and lead defensive backs, two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and five special teams stops. He led the Saints with 17 postseason stops and added a key takedown late in the NFC Wild Card Playoff win vs. Carolina. In 2018, he led the secondary with 86 tackles (60 solo), one sack, three passes defensed, one

forced fumble and a fumble recovery on Thanksgiving night vs. Atlanta.
