The contest will be nationally televised on both FOX and the NFL Network with two broadcasts also available on Amazon Prime.

Despite scoring over 25 points for the tenth time this season, the Saints were defeated last week 32-29 by the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. After falling behind 14-0, the Saints took a 15-14 lead on Kan-sas City early in the fourth quarter on a 24-yard touchdown connection between QB Drew Brees and RB Latavius Mur-ray. The New Orleans defense hung strong throughout the contest as the Chiefs (92) ran 40 more plays than the Saints (52), but third and fourth quarter runs of 15 and ten points respectively consistently gave Kansas City an edge.

New Orleans will host a desperate 6-8 Minnesota club fighting for their lives in the NFC playoff race for a Wild Card spot in a contest featuring two of the top running backs in the NFL in the Saints’ Alvin Kamara and the Vi-kings’ Dalvin Cook, both players ranking in the top three in the NFL in touchdowns, total yards from scrim-mage and first downs. A physical Vikings offense led by Cook ranks fifth in the NFL in total net yards per game, (fifth rushing and 18th passing), while the defense ranks 22nd (tied for 23rd against the run and ranked 24th against the pass). The New Orleans defense ranks third in the NFL (fourth against the run and fifth against the pass), while the offense led by Kamara is ranked 16th (seventh in rushing yards per game and 21st in pass offense).

THE COACHES

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 149-88 overall record (.629), including an 8-7 postseason mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival in 2006. Payton holds both the club’s top victory total and winning percentage. Payton is ranked 25th all-time in NFL record books in victories, fifth among active head coaches. 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 Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer than Payton’s 15 seasons. Payton is also one of just nine active NFL head coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Buccaneers in 2002), the Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy (Green Bay in 2010), the Eagles’ Doug Pederson, Kansas City’s Andy Reid and the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2020 Saints are only the sixth team in NFL history to have six-game winning streaks in four consecutive seasons and with their current win streak at nine had won at least nine straight games in two of the past three seasons and have had double-digit victory figures and consecutive playoff berths in four straight years for the first time in franchise history. The 2019 Saints posted their second consecutive 13-3 record, capturing their third consecutive NFC South title and playoff berth. A franchise-record six players were selected AP All-Pro and a club-best 11 were named to the

Pro Bowl. New Orleans won seven games on the road for the second consecutive season. The Saints set an NFL single-season record with only eight turnovers as they ranked second in the league in turnover ratio (+15). New Orleans also ranked third in sacks (51), tied for third in scoring (28.6 ppg.) and ranked fourth in opponent rushing yards per game. Special teams captured first place in NFL writer Rick Gosselin’s annual comprehensive rankings. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications 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 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer is in his seventh sea-son at the helm, having put together a 65-49-1 record (regular season and postseason) since 2014. After manag-ing a 7-9 mark in 2014, his first season, Zimmer and QB Teddy Bridgewater used their sophomore seasons to roar to an 11-5 record and the Vikings’ first NFC North title since 2009, when they advanced to the NFC Champion-ship Game but fell to the Saints. The 2015 campaign end-ed with a nailbiter, as the club fell to the Seattle Seahawks, 10-9, in the Wild Card round. Following an 8-8 campaign in 2016, in 2017, Zimmer led the Vikings to a 13-3 record, his second NFC North title as head coach and a first-round playoff bye. The Vikings had an 8-7-1 record in 2018 under Zimmer as they had back-to-back winning records for the first time since the 2008-09 campaigns and returned to the playoffs with a 10-6 mark in 2019. Prior to his arrival in Min-nesota, Zimmer served as the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2008 to 2013. During that span, Bengals defenses ranked in the top-15 in yards allowed each year and on two occasions ranked in the top-five. He served briefly as defensive coordinator for Atlanta in 2007 after having held that position with the Cowboys from 2000 to 2006. He originally entered the NFL in 1994 as a defen-sive assistant with the Cowboys, was promoted to defen-sive backs coach in 1995, and was to defensive coordina-tor in 2000. Zimmer was the defensive coordinator for Washington State between 1989 and 1993. During his final season with the Cougars, the team ranked eighth nation-wide in total defense and second in rushing defense, allow-ing only 298.8 total yards per game and only 86.3 rushing yards per game. Before joining Washington State, Zimmer was the defensive coordinator for Weber State from 1983 to 1988, prior to which he was an assistant coach there for two seasons. Zimmer began his coaching career in 1979 at the University of Missouri as an assistant coach after grad-uating from Illinois State.

SERIES HISTORY

Minnesota leads the regular season series, having won 19 of 30 contests since the teams first met on October 13, 1968 at Tulane Stadium and four of five postseason meet-ings; the Black and Gold won that first matchup 20-17. The Saints would not beat the Vikings again until Sept. 3, 1978, losing six straight contests in the interim. Though the Vi-kings have a firm grasp of the overall series record, the Saints have fared much better since the 2006 arrival of Sean Payton as head coach and the free agent signing of QB Drew Brees. The teams have met on nine occasions since then, six times in the regular season and three in the postseason and New Orleans has captured five. The Saints and Vikings have met five times in the playoffs, in-cluding the Black and Gold’s first ever postseason game in 1987, which the Vikings seized at the Superdome, 44-10. The third playoff meeting proved to be the charm, however, as the two clubs met at the Superdome on Jan. 24, 2010 for the NFC Championship as New Orleans defeated the Vikings 31-17 to send the Saints to Super Bowl XLIV.

LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING

Saints 30, Vikings 20; October 28, 2018 @ U.S. Bank Stadium – The Saints improved to 6-1 after defeating the Vikings on Sunday Night Football.

New Orleans jumped out to a 7-0 first quarter lead after QB Drew Brees found RB Alvin Kamara on a three-yard pass, which was then matched by Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins completing a one-yard TD to WR Stefon Diggs.

Early in the second quarter, the Vikings took a 13-7 lead on a one-yard run by RB Latavius Murray followed up by a failed extra point. K Will Lutz then connected on a 52-yard field goal to put New Orleans within three. With 1:11 left in the first half, LB Alex Anzalone caused a fumble by the Vikings’ Adam Thielen that was returned by CB Marshon Lattimore 53 yards. Kamara punched in a one-yard TD two plays later that gave the Saints a 17-13 halftime lead.

Lutz made his second field goal early in the third to bring the score to 20-13 and on Minnesota’s next possession the lead was extended to 27-13 on a 45-yard interception re-turn for a touchdown by CB P.J. Williams, which earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the first time.

In the fourth quarter, Lutz drilled a second 42-yard kick. Minnesota made a TD drive late while the Saints defense had switched to a prevent mode to set up a final score of 30-20.

QB Drew Brees threw a first half interception, which was his first pick after he went 264 regular season pass at-tempts over a nine-game period without one.

NFC WILD CARD PLAYOFF: Vikings 26, Saints 20; Jan-uary 5, 2020 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints dropped a 26-20 overtime thriller and were knocked out of the playoffs in a game fitting of one of the NFL’s best post-season rivalries in recent times.

Late in the third quarter, the Vikings enjoyed a comfortable 20-10 lead after RB Dalvin Cook rushed one yard in for his second touchdown at the 3:23 mark. But a fourth quarter Saints touchdown drive and field goal near the end regula-tion, combined with a stifling defense, sent the game into overtime.

But the Vikings won the coin flip in overtime and a nine-play, 75-yard drive by Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins that in-cluded a 43-yard completion to WR Adam Thielen and end-ed with a four-yard touchdown pass to TE Kyle Rudolph advanced the purple to the NFC Divisional round.

New Orleans stormed back and tied the score at 20-20 with two sections left in regulation on a drive that started inside the two minute warning following a ten-yard punt return by rookie WR/RS Deonte Harris. A 14-yard completion from QB Drew Brees to TE Jared Cook put K Wil Lutz in range for a 49-yard field goal

On the first drive of the game, Thielen fumbled at the Vi-kings 37-yard line and the ball was picked up by S Vonn Bell to eventually set up a 29-yard field goal by Lutz. A 43-yard field goal by Vikings K Dan Bailey tied the score for the first quarter, with New Orleans forcing a punt on the last play of the stanza with a sack by DE Trey Hendrickson.

Midway through the second quarter, a 17-yard punt return by Harris set the Saints up at their 30. Three plays later, QB Taysom Hill and the rookie connected on a 50-yard completion followed by a four-yard rushing touchdown by RB Alvin Kamara. A 21-yard Bailey field goal and an inter-ception by Saints QB Drew Brees that was converted into a five-yard rushing touchdown by Cook, left the Saints trailing 13-10 at halftime.

• For the eighth contest in their last nine, the Saints held an opponent scoreless in the fourth quarter.

• Playing in his franchise-record 14th playoff game as a Saint and 15th postseason contest overall, Brees finished 26-of-33 for 208 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Brees’ 26 completions moves his career postseason total to 434, surpassing Ben Roethlisberger to move into fifth all-time. The 208 passing yards gave him 4,967 in the post-season for his career, surpassing John Elway to move into sixth place all-time.

• Bell had seven stops and his sixth fumble recovery of the 2019 regular season and postseason.

• CB Janoris Jenkins made his Saints playoff debut and forced a fumble and had a split sack.

WEEK 1: New Orleans Saints 34, Tampa Bay Bucca-neers 23; September 13, 2020 @ Mercedes-Benz Su-perdome – Drew Brees and Tom Brady, the two leading passers in National Football League history, couldn't mus-ter vintage performances in the first National Football League game featuring two starting quarterbacks in their 40s.

But while Brees avoided game-turning mishaps with an offense he's led since 2006, Brady suffered some costly cross-ups with his new team. Brady threw two interceptions in his Tampa Bay debut, Alvin Kamara scored touchdowns running and receiving, and the New Orleans Saints beat the Buccaneers 34-23 on Sunday.

“I made some just bad, terrible turnovers,” Brady said. "I obviously have got to do a lot better job.”

The first of Brady’s interceptions led to Kamara’s six-yard touchdown run. The second pick thrown by the new, 43-year-old Bucs QB — who left the Patriots in free agency after 20 years and six Super Bowl triumphs — was re-turned 36 yards for a touchdown by Janoris Jenkins.

“Win the turnover battle like we did, have a turnover for a touchdown, you’re a 90-something percent winner in those games,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. ”Just a lot of things happened in that game that despite how you play, those things can help you win games. The energy and ef-fort I was pleased with.”

The 41-year-old Brees passed for 160 yards and two TDs. He did not turn the ball over and took only one sack. His first TD pass was a dump-off to Kamara from 12 yards out. In the fourth quarter he hit free-agent signing Emmanuel Sanders for a 5-yard score.

“I’d probably say I played awful,” Brees said. “Certainly, we are used to playing at a much higher level offensively and especially in the passing game. So, we’ll get that back on track.”

Still, Brees found satisfaction in beating Brady's Bucs.

“Of course, it’s significant and it’s unique and I’d be lying to you if I said to you it didn’t mean a little bit more," Brees said. "I've got so much love and respect for (Brady) and what he’s able to accomplish.

“We played against each other in college, for goodness sake, in 1999,” Brees continued. “At the end of the day, I think we would both pinch ourselves if you told us back then we’d have the opportunity to play this long and be a part of so many great teams and moments, historic mo-ments.”

Few witnessed this latest bit of history in person, with gov-ernment leaders and the Saints organization having agreed that no fans should attend the opener amid the coronavirus pandemic.

That turned the normally deafening Mercedes-Benz Super-dome into more of an echo chamber. When kicker Wil Lutz’s field goal put New Orleans up 17-7, the squeaking of pulleys could be heard as the net behind the goalpost was lowered.

Brady compared the environment to “a scrimmage.”

“But obviously, it counts,” he added. “We’ve got to look each other in the eye and all work harder, put more urgen-cy on the things we have to do.”

Tight end Jared Cook caught five passes for 80 yards for New Orleans, highlighted by a 46-yard reception down the left side that set up Sanders' touchdown. Brady was 15 of 28 passing for 157 yards and one touchdown through the first 54 minutes. He padded his numbers in garbage time, finishing with 239 yards and two touchdowns, the second scoring strike going to wide receiverMike Evans with 2:41 left.

Tampa Bay's opening drive was promising for Brady, who the Bucs hope can lead them to their first playoff appear-ance since the 2007 season.

He lofted a 26-yard completion to wide receiver Chris God-win along the right sideline, drew a pass interference pen-alty with a 22-yard attempt to Evans and capped the drive with a 2-yard keeper, after which he emphatically spiked the ball.

It was a fleeting, triumphant moment for the Bucs in a game defined more, in the end, by their new star's mis-takes.

FORTUITOUS MOVES

The Saints saw two players activated from the practice squad come up with big special teams plays. DL Margus Hunt blocked a 54-yard field goal attempt. WR Bennie Fowler recovered a muffed kickoff at the Tampa Bay 18 in the fourth quarter, setting up a 21-yard field goal that made it 34-17 with 8:01 left.

WEEK 2: Las Vegas Raiders 34, New Orleans Saints 24; September 21, 2020 @ Allegiant Stadium – After being in control of the contest with a 17-7 lead, the Saints got caught in a hailstorm of a comeback in the desert debut of the NFL in Las Vegas, where the Raiders scored 24 con-secutive points in the final three quarters in a loss that dropped New Orleans to 1-1. Despite struggles on offense, New Orleans seemed to be inching back early in the fourth quarter when CB P.J. William recovered a fumble by Raid-ers QB Derek Carr at the Saints 40. But New Orleans couldn’t get past the Las Vegas 47 and Carr engineered a ten-play, 89-yard drive that ended with a 20-yard rushing TD by RB Jalen Richard.

Carr completed 28-of-38 passes for 282 yards, three touch-downs, zero interceptions and a 120.7 passer rating, de-spite being sacked three times.

New Orleans held Las Vegas scoreless on their first two offensive possessions, including one late in the first quarter where DT David Onyemata sacked Carr on third down to get the defense off the field. But the momentum quickly changed when the Raiders forced a three-and-out. Carr led Las Vegas on a 11-play, 63-yard drive that ended with a three-yard touchdown pass to FB Alec Ingold. The club’s then traded touchdowns, but Raiders K Daniel Carlson booted a 28-yard field goal as time expired at the half to tie the score

On the fifth play from scrimmage of the third quarter, Raid-ers TE Foster Moreau had a 31-yard reception from Carr to set up a one-yard touchdown throw to TE Darren Waller. Once the Saints got the ball back, their only drive of the third quarter was stunted at the Las Vegas 43-yard line by 35 yards. Following Richard’s fourth quarter touchdown, New Orleans would match it with a three-yard rushing touchdown by RB Alvin Kamara. On Las Vegas’ next offen-sive drive, Carlson kicked a 54-yard field goal, set up by a 29-yard pass interference penalty assessed to CB Janoris Jenkins.

WEEK 3: Green Bay Packers 37, New Orleans Saints 30; September 27, 2020 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints battled back from four deficits to tie the score at 27-27 on the final play from scrimmage in the fourth quarter on a spectacular 52-yard touchdown reception by RB Alvin Kamara, then stopped Green Bay on downs near midfield to put themselves in position to take a fourth quar-ter lead. But a fumble that set up a field goal, hurt New Or-leans’ momentum, as well as three defensive penalties on Green Bay’s drive, proving to be the difference in the Pack-ers’ win.

In a contest that featured seven different lead changes, New Orleans tied the score on the last play from scrim-mage of the third quarter at 27-27 when Kamara took a screen pass from QB Drew Brees and slithered and broke multiple tackles for the career-long 52-yard receiving touch-down, also moving into first place in franchise history in multiple-score contests (16). S Malcolm Jenkins and CB Marshon Lattimore then combined to stop Packers RB Aaron Jones on an unsuccessful fourth-and-one rush-ing near midfield.

Following a seven-yard rush by RB Latavius Murray, QB Taysom Hill fumbled on an option play as it was forced and it was recovered by Green Bay LB Z’Darius Smith, setting up a 49-yard field goal by K Mason Crosby. On Green Bay’s final drive, with the Packers up 30-27 and third-and-three, LB Demario Davis jumped offsides, giving QB Aaron Rodgers a free play. On it, CB Janoris Jenkins was assessed a defensive pass interference penalty at the New Orleans one-yard line, exhausting New Orleans’ hopes for a comeback.

Kamara had a huge performance, setting career-highs in both receiving yardage and touchdown receptions with 13 grabs for 139 yards and two scores, adding 58 rushing yards on 12 carries for 187 total yards from scrimmage. Brees completed 29-of-36 passes for 288 yards with three touchdown throws, zero interceptions and a 127.8 passer rating.

Rodgers completed 21-of-32 passes for 283 yards with three touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a 124.9 passer rating. Green Bay WR Allen Lazard recorded six catches for 146 yards with one touchdown, including a ca-reer-long 72-yard grab. Packers RB Aaron Jones rushed 16 times for 69 yards with one touchdown, as the Saints did not surrender 100 yards rushing to a player for the 45th consecutive regular season/postseason contest, now tied for the third-longest streak in National Football League rec-ord books.

WEEK 4: New Orleans Saints 35, Detroit Lions 29, Oc-tober 4, 2020 at Ford Field- The New Orleans Saints came away with a convincing win against the Lions, show-casing their run game versatility, dominant defense and effective passing game, scoring 35 unanswered points.

The Lions offense put up two touchdowns within the first five minutes of play, displaying an early 14-0 lead against the Saints. The Detroit defense came up with an intercep-tion on the Saints’ first play, to put them in prime field posi-tion. QB Matthew Stafford found targets RB D’Andre Swift and WR Kenny Golladay during their first scores.

QB Drew Brees and the Saints offense overcame the two-touchdown deficit, going into the half with a 28-14 lead.

Running backs Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray took command of the run game, splitting up touches throughout the game. New Orleans had a total 164 yards rushing, Kamara with 19 carries for 83 yards (4.4 yd avg) and Mur-ray with 14 carries for 64 yards (4.6 yd avg). The run game capitalized in the red zone, exhibiting Kamara’s seventh touchdown this season, as well as two rushing scores from Murray.

Brees and the New Orleans passing offense were con-sistent throughout the contest, with two stand out targets, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith. Brees threw for a total of 246 yards, two touchdowns and went 19 for 25. Sanders led the team in receiving, during a breakout game with 6 receptions for 93 yards, his season high. Brees connected with Smith twice in the endzone, giving him (Smith) a total of 4 recep-tions for 54 yards.

The Saints offense went five-for-five in the red zone against the Lions defense, scoring touchdowns on each attempt.

Defensive end Cameron Jordan, Defensive tackle David Onyemata and Defensive end Trey Hendrickson led the pass rush, each coming up with one sack apiece. Corner-

back Patrick Robinson forced a critical turnover, picking off Stafford in the end zone in the second quarter.

• New Orleans’ defense was steady on all aspects. The Saints’ run defense held the Lions to 90 yards rushing and only allowed a season-low 281 total yards, the first time they gave up under 300 yards this season. Surrendering only 36 yards rushing to Lions running back Adrian Peter-son, New Orleans has not allowed an opposing run-ning back to reach the century mark for their last 46 regular season and postseason games, the third-longest streak in the National Football League.

• Kamara scored a touchdown for the sixth consecutive regular season game dating back to 2019, tying the fran-chise mark for consecutive contests with a score.

• Jordan’s sack gives him four against Detroit, tying the franchise for fourth among teams on his list of sack victims behind the three NFC South clubs, Atlanta, Carolina and Tampa Bay.

• The victory improved New Orleans’ all-time regular sea-son record vs. Detroit to 13-12-1, increasing the number of clubs they have a winning record against to nine.

• Head Coach Sean Payton now has 141 career wins in regular season/postseason combined, moving him into a tie with John Fox for 25th all-time in National Football League record books.

WEEK 5: New Orleans Saints 30, Los Angeles Chargers 27, October 4, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Super-dome- Wil Lutz kicked a 36-yard field goal with 5:08 left in overtime and New Orleans' defense stopped Chargers re-ceiver Mike Williams just short on fourth down to preserve a 30-27 victory over seemingly star-crossed Los Angeles on Monday night.

Chargers kicker Michael Badgley, who missed his first career point-after kick wide right in the first quarter, had a chance to redeem himself after Williams' leaping catch be-tween two defenders put the Chargers on the Saints' 32-yard line in the final seconds. But Badgley's 50-yard kick as time expired bounced off the right upright.

"The young man has been kicking outstanding. He's got to do better but we could have done some other things bet-ter," Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said.

Drew Brees rushed for a 1-yard touchdown and hit tight end Jared Cook for a 41-yard score as the Saints rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second quarter.

"This is how you grow as a team," Brees said. "This is how you become battle-tested — and I think it pays divi-dends."

Rookie Justin Herbert's fourth touchdown pass of the game, a 64-yarder to Michael Williams, briefly put Los An-geles back in front before the Saints (3-2) tied it on Taysom Hill's nine-yard run with 52 seconds remaining in regula-tion.

The Chargers (1-4) fell to their fourth straight loss by a touchdown or less, and the second in overtime. They also blew a 17-point lead for a second straight game.

"Never thought this team would lose four straight. We've put ourselves in position, but we didn't get it done," Lynn said. "We have to finish these damn games."

Herbert, who was named the starter for the remainder of the season this week, finished 20 of 34 for 264 yards with-out an turnover. Five of his completions went to Williams for 109 yards and two TDs.

Brees finished 33 of 47 for 325 yards, including 12 com-pletions to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders for 122 yards, as his 13 career overtime wins a starting quarterback broke a tie with Tom Brady since it was instituted in the 1974 sea-son. Kamara had 119 yards from scrimmage, highlighted by his leaping, juggling catch along the right sideline over the head of safety Rayshawn Jenkins to set up Hill's tying TD.

In Week Four, it was Tampa Bay's Tom Brady, a six-time Super Bowl winner. This week it was Brees — the National Football League's all-time leader in completions, yards and touchdowns.

Brees' dive over a pile of linemen at the goal line made it 20-10 14 seconds before halftime.

Lutz' 53-yard field goal pulled New Orleans within a touchdown in the third quarter. Then Brees found Cook open behind the Chargers' secondary on third-and-long to tie it early in the fourth quarter.

In staking Los Angeles to an early 20-3 lead, Herbert became the first rookie to pass for three TDs in the first half of a Monday night game.

His first came touchdown pass of the evening when he rolled right away from pressure and fired a 17-yard pass down the sideline to Allen.

Herbert's 49-yard completion to Jalen Guyton set up his four-yard scoring strike to Williams one play later. The touchdown capped a drive extended by a roughing-the-punter penalty against New Orleans RB Dwayne Washing-ton.

Chargers S Nasir Adderly's interception of Brees and 39-

yard return to the Saints one-yard line set up Herbert's three-yard scoring pass to TE Hunter Henry, which made it 20-3.

WEEK 7: New Orleans Saints 27, Carolina Panthers 24, October 25, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome– The Saints earned a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Carolina Panthers with 3,000 fans in attendance for the first time this season at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Oct. 25

Saints quarterback Drew Brees found a rhythm on the opening possession, driving 75 yards which ended with a four-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jared Cook. The score marked the first time the Saints have scored a touch-down on the opening possession of a game in the 2020 season.

With two of his top targets inactive for the contest, Brees relied on rookie wide recceiver Marquez Callaway, wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris, wide recceiver Tre’Quan Smith and running back Alvin Kamara in the passing game. Star wide receivers Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (Covid-19) were ab-sent..

Brees completed 29-of-36 passes for 387 yards and two scores. In a standout performance, Callaway hauled in eight catches for 75 yards. The Saints were 12 of 14 on third down and never punted.

The Saints rushing attack, led by Kamara and Latavius Murray, combined for 130 yards on the ground. Kamara also notched eight receptions for 65 yards. After a 16-yard grab in the second half, Kamara joined Roger Craig and Christian McCaffrey as the only players with at least 2,500 rushing and 2,500 receiving yards in their first four seasons in NFL history.

While the New Orleans defense had some struggles, DE Marcus Davenport stepped up when it mattered most. Dav-enport sacked former Saints QB Teddy Bridgewater for a eight-yard loss with two minutes remaining, knocking Caro-lina out of reasonable field goal range. Joey Slye attempted a 65-yard field goal to tie the game, but just came up short.

“I thought the sack on third down was critical,” Saints Head Coach Sean Payton said during his postgame press conference. “It put them in a much different position. It was a good win.”

Bridgewater, who played two seasons with the Saints before joining Carolina this season, completed 23-of-28 passes for 254 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown strike to wideout D.J. Moore.

WEEK 8: Saints 26, Bears 23, November 1, 2020 @ Sol-dier Field – The Saints earned a 26-23 overtime victory over the Bears behind the leg of K Wil Lutz on a crisp, au-tumn afternoon at Soldier Field on Nov. 1, All Saints Day. Lutz knocked home a 35-yard field goal with 2:12 left in overtime to secure the fourth consecutive win of the sea-son for New Orleans, which is 5-2 and tied for first with Tampa Bay in the NFC South. "It was a hard fought game," Saints Coach Sean Payton said during his postgame press conference. "I think in the second half we played better football. It's good when you win an overtime game like that - it's the second one this year. There's a little bit of grit and toughness that I think you begin to build. I don't think you just start with it." Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 31-of-41 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Brees connected with tight end Jared Cook on a 16-yard touchdown strike with three seconds remaining in the first half, trimming Chica-go's lead to 13-10 at the break. Taysom Hill found paydirt late in regulation on at 20-yard pass from Brees, extending the Saints lead to 23-13. On the play Brees surpassed Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady for most career touch-down passes (560 to 559). Running back Alvin Kamara hauled in nine passes for 96 yards, finishing with 163 all-purpose yards in the contest. New Orleans' first three offensive possessions of the sec-ond half started inside Chicago territory. Return man Deonte Harris set up the Saints offense with excellent field position on a pair of electrifying punt returns, including a 42-yard return setting the Saints up in the red zone mid-way through the third quarter. Defensively, New Orleans tallied 5.0 sacks on the after-noon. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson established a new season high (5.5 sacks) on the year with one quarterback takedown. Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore came up with an interception with 8:34 to play in the third quarter. The takeaway came on the ensuing play after Bears WR Javon Wims was ejected for throwing multiple punches at Saints DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Saints LB Demario Davis had an opportunity to seal the win in regulation, but a forward progress call allowed Chi-cago to maintain possession after Davis forced and jumped on a fumble. Bears QB Nick Foles completed 28-of-41 passes for 272 yards tor two touchdowns and an interception. Foles con-nected with former Tulane Green Wave WR Darnell Mooney five times for 69 yards and a touchdown. Star WR Allen Robinson had six receptions for 87 yards and a score. Chicago running back David Montgomery flirted with a 100-yard rushing game, finishing with 21 carries for 89 yards.

WEEK 9: Saints 38, Buccaneers 3; November 8, 2020 @ Raymond James Stadium – Drew Brees vs. Tom Brady, and the battle for the supremacy of the NFC South, was a one-sided affair. Brees threw for 222 yards and four touchdowns, regaining the NFL career TD pass lead and lifting the New Orleans Saints into first place with a 38-3 rout of Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.

The three-time defending division champion won their fifth straight game, intercepting Brady three times and complet-ing a season sweep of the Bucs (6-3), who also suffered a double-digit loss at New Orleans in Week 1. “Each time you can win and find different ways to win, I think it just builds confidence and creates momentum,” Brees said. “Obviously tonight was a great night,” he added. “All the way around in all three phases, it was pretty exceptional.”

The Saints (6-2) weren’t perfect—turning the ball over twice themselves-however the offense was extremely effi-cient with receivers Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sand-ers back in the lineup, and the defense played its best game of the season.

Brees was 26 of 32 passing, including first-half TD throws of 14 yards to Tre’Quan Smith, 8 yards to Adam Trautman and 12 yards to Sanders, who missed the previous two games while on the COVID-19 list. The 41-year old added a three-yarder to Josh Hill to make it 38-0 with just over nine minutes remaining. “We knew this was a big game, divisional opponent, Tam-pa’s playing extremely well,: said Brees, who lost a fumble on Tampa Bay’s only sack but didn’t throw an interception. “Obviously we’re been a little short-handed over the last few weeks … Tonight, it was good to get them back in the mix,” Brees added. “We wanted to spread the ball around, wanted to play complementary football. I can’t say enough about our defense, they just played phenomenal.”

Brees regained the league career TD pass lead with 564, three more than the 43-year old Brady, who had thrown for 17 touchdowns and just one interception over the previous six games.

WEEK 10: Saints 27, 49ers 13, Nov. 15, 2020 at Mer-cedes-Benz Superdome- With QB Drew Brees sidelined by a rib injury, the Saints turned to their defense to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 27-13 in front of 6,000 fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Nov. 15.

The defense delivered. All-Pro LB Demario Davis notched a game high 12 tackles, while DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson tallied eight total tackles, including his first career sack. DBs Malcolm Jenkins and Patrick Robinson each intercepted 49ers QB Nick Mullens. Special teams played a factor in the field position game for New Orleans. Undrafted rookie Marquez Callaway came up with two muffed punt recoveries, and rookie LB Zack Baun also delivered a high-impact special teams tackle. It took the Saints offense while to get going, but a 75-yard Deonte Harris kick return sparked the first score of the game, a 49-yard Wil Lutz field goal. CONT. ON NEXT PAGE

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-WEEK 10 Brees completed 8-of-13 passes for 76 yards and one score before exiting the game with a rib injury at halftime. He took a hard hit in the second quarter on a sack by 49ers defensive end Kentavius Street. Street was called for un-necessary roughness on the play. "He took a heavy shot in the first half," Saints Coach Sean Payton said during his postgame press conference. "As he came out in the second half, he felt it was really impacting him. He'll get an MRI and x-rays. His back felt sore. As he tried to throw, he just came up to me and said, 'Hey, I don't feel like I'm capable of playing.' And so quickly we made the switch, and you know, that happens sometimes." "I was not going to be able to be effective," Brees said. "It had nothing to do with pain. It was definitely just what my body was going to be able to do or not be able to do." Jameis Winston's first pass replacing Brees went for a first down. Winston completed 6-of-10 passes for 63 yards, while Taysom Hill carried the ball eight times for 45 yards from the quarterback position. "My main job is to serve my teammates and help put us in a position to win the football game," Winston said during his postgame press conference. "I am happy we had a great team win today." Five quarterbacks took at least one snap between the two teams in Sunday's contest. Running back Alvin Kamara hauled in seven receptions for 83 yards and a score and added two short rushing touch-downs. In addition to Brees, the Saints had these players leave the game with injuries, tight end Josh Hill, wide re-ceiver Tre'Quan Smith, cornerback Marshon Lattimore and defensive tackle Malcom Brown.

WEEK 11: New Orleans Saints 24, Atlanta Falcons 9, November 22, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome- Driving accurate throws downfield, exhibiting poise in the pocket and scrambling judiciously, Taysom Hill capitalized on his first true opportunity to make his case as a candi-date to one day succeed record-setting star Drew Brees as the Saints quarterback.

Hill rushed for two touchdowns and completed 78.3% of his passes for 233 yards in his first NFL start at quarterback, and New Orleans beat the Atlanta Falcons 24-9 on Sunday to extend its winning streak to seven games. “Man, he played tremendous,” said Saints receiver Michael Thomas, who caught nine passes for 104 yards. “I could see the look in his eyes. He was ready for the moment.”

With the 41-year-old Brees sidelined at least three games with multiple rib fractures, Saints coach Sean Payton gave Hill the nod over offseason free-agent acquisition Jameis Winston.

The decision meant a lot to Hill, who persevered through an injury-plagued college career at BYU before starting his NFL career as a 27-year-old undrafted rookie in 2017. And because Hill initially flourished in an unconventional utility role, with duties ranging from change-of-pace option QB to tight end and special teams, he played in 46 previous NFL games before finally getting his first start under center. “I spent a lot of time reflecting this week. My wife and I had

so many conversations about were we’ve been, the pro-cess of getting here," Hill said. "If I’m being honest, it was an emotional week.” Hill looked comfortable running the scheme Payton de-signed for him. He completed 18 of 23 passes without an interception and used his all-around athleticism to run inter-mittently on scrambles or designed read-option plays, fin-ishing with a team-high 51 yards rushing. The biggest blemish in his performance was an inconsequential, fourth-quarter fumble after a 20-yard run to the Atlanta 22. Still, he had a better day than Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, who was sacked eight times and finished 19-of-37 passing for 232 yards, no touchdowns and two intercep-tions to defensive backs Marcus Williams and Janoris Jen-kins. Cameron Jordan sacked Ryan three times, while Trey Hendrickson and David Onyemata each had two sacks. “You’ve got to give the Saints credit. They did a great job on defense,” Falcons interim coach Raheem Morris said. “The defensive backs, they did a nice job of limiting us on what we were able to do. They had a nice game plan for us. They did a nice job of keeping Matt under control and they did a nice job keeping our receivers under control.”

Hill entered having thrown just five passes with four com-pletions for 86 yards this season and was 10 of 18 for 205 yards in his career, leaving him relatively unproven as a passer. Not anymore. While his all-around athleticism would have made scrambling a tempting default choice, he regularly showed patience and poise while delivering accurate pass-es moments before impact from onrushing defenders. “I always know that I have the ability, if things break down, that I can make a play,” Hill said. “But my mindset was: let's keep your eyes down the field and let's find opportuni-ties” for receivers. Hill was among the last to leave the field after the game, raising one hand to acknowledge cheers of the pandemic-limited crowd of about 6,000. All that was missing was a first-career scoring pass — part-ly because of how effectively the Saints ran the ball. Alvin Kamara scored New Orleans' first touchdown on a three-yard run, Hill scored the second on a fourth down keeper from the Atlanta 2, and Hill's second TD came on a 10-yard scramble. Kamara, Hill and Latavius Murray powered a ground game that netted 168 yards, which helped the Saints (8-2) sus-tain drives that consumed a total of 33:41. New Orleans' second-ranked run defense held Atlanta to 52 yards rushing, and the Saints defense did not allow a touchdown for the second time in three games — with only one touchdown given up in between. The Falcons (3-7) struck first with a field goal set up by Ryan's 46-yard completion to Calvin Ridley and led 9-3 on three Younghoe Koo kicks before the Saints responded with 21 straight points. MAKING HISTORY Kamara became the first player in NFL history with at least 500 yards rushing and receiving in each of his first four seasons. Thomas recorded his 482nd career catch during the first half, giving him ownership of the record for most catches in an NFL player's first five seasons. He finished with 489.

WEEK 12: Saints 31, Broncos 3, November 29, 2020 at Empower Field at Mile High- The Saints dominated the line of scrimmage in its 31-3 rout over Denver on Sunday. The Saints ran for 229 yards and scored four rushing touchdowns against a stout Broncos defensive unit that gave up just 56 rushing yards the week prior. "I was proud of how we ran the football," Saints Coach Sean Payton said. "I thought our guys up front, toward the end of the game, we won that battle pretty clearly." Running back Latavius Murray carried 19 times, tallying 124 yards and two scores. Taysom Hill added two scores on the ground, taking advantage of his trademark quarter-back power rush off the right side of the line. "Yeah, the quarterback power, any time the quarterback runs the ball, you really gain an extra blocker," Saints guard Nick Easton said Monday. "So if everybody executes their assignments, he's got a free run to the end zone. So, it's pretty hard for a defense, like somebody's got to defeat the block in order to make a tackle. So, you end up getting a few extra yards on those type of plays." Easton got the start in place of injured guard Andrus Peat. "As far as knowing I was going to start, I approach every week with the mentality that I'm going to be a big contribu-tor and play my hardest," Easton said. "Andrus, was deal-ing with a concussion and working through the protocol. So, it was a little blurry going through the week, but I al-ways prepare like I'm going to start." New Orleans was also without All-Pro T Terron Armstead, who was placed on the Covid-19/Reserve List Saturday. Defensively, the Saints (9-2) set a franchise record with just 112 yards allowed and forced three turnovers while winning their eighth straight game. "We're just playing with trust in our teammates and our guys next to us," DT Malcom Brown said. "I mean, we trust everybody to be where they're supposed to be. And we're just trying to roll like that and we just keep on working. Not looking too far ahead and not trying to hold anything from ourselves. But, we just want to keep on working, go through the process and stack them up every week." Brown and company were tasked with facing Kendall Hin-ton, an undrafted rookie wide receiver activated from the Broncos' practice squad and inserted as their quarterback. The Broncos lost all four of their quarterbacks this week after backup Jeff Driskel tested positive for Covid-19 and starter Drew Lock and the other two quarterbacks on the roster were deemed close contacts and ruled ineligible. "We all kind of prepared for the offense as Drew Lock at quarterback and everything," Brown said. "But I mean, it's the NFL. Whatever they roll out, you have got to defend and that's kind of the mentality we took to it." Due to Denver's quarterback situation, the Broncos relied heavily on the "Wildcat" offense, only attempting nine pass-es, two of which were intercepted. "I like to play the run a lot," Brown said. "My fundamentals and technique are real important to me. So, we knew we'd play the run a lot all game. It's weird too though,. because usually you get rewarded with a pass on third down, where you can rush the passer. It was just one of those games where it was just, I don't know, it was kind of weird." New Orleans leads the NFL in total defense, allowing just

284.9 yards per game.

WEEK 13: Saints 21, Atlanta Falcons 16, December 6, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium – Taysom Hill finally threw a touchdown pass. Two of them, in fact. The New Orleans defense finally gave up a touchdown. But not two, which ensured the Saints are headed back to the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.

Hill won another start filling in for injured Drew Brees and New Orleans got the big defensive stop it needed in the closing minutes to preserve a 21-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Saints (10-2) clinched a playoff berth with their ninth straight victory and Chicago’s 34-30 loss to Detroit.

“our work’s not done yet,” defensive end Trey Hendrick-son said.

Hill connected with Tre’Quan Smith on a 15-yard touch-down in the opening quarter-the quarterback’s first scoring pass since his senior year at Brigham Young in 2016.

He added another before halftime, zipping an 11-yard pass to tight end Jared Cook in tight coverage.

“I don’t care as much as people might think (regarding lack of touchdown pass),” said Hill, who improved to 3-0 in filling in for Brees. “I know there was a lot of conversation about getting that first TD completion. But as long as we’re winning football games, I’m happy.”

Hill was 27 of 37 for 232 yards passing. He tackled on 83 yards rushing on 14 carries, including a 43-yard scamper that was the longest run of his career, setting up his first TD pass.

“I thought his performance was strong,” coach Sean Payton said. “He made a lot of throws.” the football. He had a couple of fumbles, the first coming deep in Atlanta territory to spark the Falcons’ comeback.

Atlanta drove 85 yards capped by Matt Ryan’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Russell Gage with 7:43 remaining. New Orleans hadn’t allowed a touchdown since the opening drive of a game against San Francisco on Nov. 15, a span of 14 quarters without one.

The Falcons 94-8) got the ball back and again pushed deep into New Orleans territory. On second-and-2 at the saints 13, Todd Gurley was stuffed for no gain by LB De-mario Davis. He got the ball again on third down for a sweep around the left end, but Davis caught him for a 7-yard loss.

If there was one flaw in Hill’s game, it was hanging on to Ryan threw into the end zone on fourth down, but the pass fell incomplete to finish off the home team’s best chance at pulling off an upset. Atlanta got a desperation heave on the final play of the game, but it was batted down by DB D.J. Swearinger. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-WEEK 13 The Saints never doubted their ability to prevent a sec-ond TD.

“We like us,” defensive end Cam Jordan said. “If we’re defending a touchdown, we love us.”

New Orleans extended the lead to 21-8 on Alvin Kama-ra’s 11-yard TD run in the third quarter and had a chance to wrap it up after Ryan fumbled on a play that was initially ruled an incompletion but changed to a fumble after Payton challenged the call.

Hill gave it right back. Under heavy pressure, he tried to throw the ball away but wound up fumbling, giving the Fal-cons renewed hope.

“It’s one of those things wehre I’m trying to make a play,” Hill said. “In hindsight, I wish I had just taken the sack and gotten a field goal. Those would’ve been big points for us.

Ryan was 19-of-39 for 273 yards. He was sacked three times—a far cry from the combined 17 times he went down in the last two games against the Saints.

Still, Ryan faced heavy pressure much of the game, get-ting hit eight times. The run game wasn’t much help, man-aging just 70 yards and 3.3 yards per carry. Gurley, coming back from a knee injury, was held to 16 yards on eight car-ries.

“They’re a good defense, that’s for sure,” Ryan said. “We needed to be in more third-and-shorts to give us better op-portunities.”

Falcons K Younghoe Koo kicked three field goals, ex-tending his streak to 24 in a row since his lone Week 3 miss.

New Orleans swept the season series with the Falcons.

WINNING WITHOUT BREES

The Saints are now 8-0 over the last two seasons when Brees isn’t able to play. Last season, then won all five games that Teddy Bridgewater started.

“That’s the position everyone focuses on, but our team’s playing well,” Payton said. “We’re fortunate to have depth at a number of positions, and that includes quarterback.

SPEEDY MIKE

Wide receiver Michael Thomas became the fastest player in NFL history to record 500 career receptions, doing it in his 69th career game.

He surpassed the mark shared by Anquan Boldin and Julio Jones, who reached 500 catches in 80 games.

WEEK 14: Philadelphia Eagles 24, New Orleans Saints 21; December 13, 2020 @ Lincoln Financial Field – The Saints rebounded from a lethargic first half to outscore Phil-adelphia 21-7 in the final two quarters with a comeback almost complete, but LB Craig Robertson’s valiant effort to recover an onside kick fell short with 1:24 remaining and the Eagles barely walked away with a 24-21 victory. Phila-delphia opened a 17-0 lead on three second quarter pos-sessions, as their rushing attack gained 173 yards in the first half. New Orleans then started the third quarter by get-ting the Eagles off the field on a three–and-out and QB Taysom Hill engineered a ten-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a five-yard rushing touchdown by RB Alvin Kamara. The Saints defense would get the Eagles off the field again, when LB Kwon Alexander and S Marcus Williams stopped Philadelphia QB Jalen Hurts for no gain up the middle on fourth-and-and-one. Four plays later, Hill connected with WR Emmanuel Sanders for a 37-yard touchdown. The Eagles scored midway through the fourth quarter on a one-yard rushing touchdown by Philadelphia RB Miles Sanders, When New Orleans got the ball back, Hill was sacked on third and eight by Eagles DL Javon Har-grave, forcing an unsuccessful 57-ayrd field goal at-tempt. But two plays later, Alexander stripped the ball from Hurts and it was recovered by S Malcolm Jenkins. Hill drove the Saints three plays later to seven points on a 20-yard touchdown pass to TE Jared Cook, but time would run out after the unsuccessful onside attempt as the Eagles would knee on downs for the 24-21 win.

WEEK 15: Chiefs 32, Saints 29; December 20, 2020 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints came up short in Drew Brees' return, falling 32-29 to the Kansas City Chiefs at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints' franchise quarterback had missed the previous four games with broken ribs and a punctured lung. Brees and the Saints' offense, missing WR Michael Thomas, got off to a rusty start with four three-and-outs and an intercep-tion to start. Brees was 0 for 6 in those possessions. After the sluggish start, Brees completed 15-of-28 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns, including a 51-yard strike to Emmanuel Sanders that helped set up a Taysom Hill touchdown. Hill, the Saints' Swiss army knife, notched his sixth rushing touchdown of the 2020 campaign on the 1-yard scamper. It's the most rushing touchdowns by a Saints quarterback in a season, surpassing Archie Manning (1977). Sanders led the team with four receptions for 76 yards. New Orleans' defense made Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes feel it all game. The Saints sacked Mahomes four times, led by DE Trey Hendrickson who registered two takedowns. Hendrickson recorded his third game of the season with at least 2.0 sacks, moving his season total to 12.5 sacks, first amongst all NFL defenders alongside Rams DT Aaron Donald and Packers LB Za'Darius Smith. Hendrickson added five quarterback hits and a forced fum-ble. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft and free agency to the 2020 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 National Football League Scouting Combine. He’s opened 83 regu-lar season games and seven postseason contests and has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past three seasons, as well as being selected as the club’s 2019 Man of the Year and the team nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sports-manship Award.

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 first six seasons, Peat’s played in 74 games with 67 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. He’s opened 12 contests at left guard as he is part of the NFC Pro squad for the third consecutive season.

C/G Nick Easton - Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by Baltimore out of Harvard, Easton developed into a starting swing guard/center by his second season and opened 18 contests for Minnesota. The North Carolina na-tive signed with New Orleans in 2019 to provide interior depth and started five consecutive contests at left guard in place of an injured Peat, the final four where the Saints surrendered only three takedowns. Easton has started six games at right guard and two at left guard in 2020, seeing significant action at right guard and/or left guard in virtually every contest.

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. 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 selection at right tackle in 2018, not missing an offensive snap in both postseason contests and all 15 regular games at the right tackle position that he played in. Ramczyk opened all 16 regular season games in 2019 to serve as a dominating bookend to Armstead, earning first-team All-Pro honors. Opening every contest and playing a key role in blocking for a run offense that has averaged over 200 yards per game in a three-game stretch for the first time since 2018 in three contests, Ramczyk is also the team’s 2020 nomi-nee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

C/G Erik McCoy - New Orleans traded up in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft to select this standout from Texas A&M, who was a three-year starter, anchoring the middle of the Aggies offensive line. In 2018, he was a team captain who paved the way for the SEC’s leading rusher and in 2019 was the first Saint in franchise history to start at center in Week One, as he ably replaced the retired Max Unger, opening all 16 regular season contests. McCoy has opened all 14 contests in 2020.

G/C Cesar Ruiz - The hard-working, talented and intelli-gent lineman is a perfect fit for New Orleans’ culture with the 24th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Michigan. The three-year letterman played in 36 games in his college career, starting his last 31 including the final 26 at center, earning All-Big Ten as a junior in 2019. Ruiz has played at right guard in the last 13 games, with eight starts as he has settled into the position without the benefit of offseason workouts, OTAs and preseason games.

G/T Derrick Kelly II - This 6-5, 320 pound former four-year starter on the Florida State line was signed as an un-drafted free agent in 2019, possessing the flexibility to play both tackle and guard. After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, Kelly increased strength in the 2020 offseason and made big strides in training camp, securing a roster spot.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-HOLDING THE LINE

T/G James Hurst - A seven-year NFL veteran who was signed as a free agent from Baltimore in 2020, Hurst has 98 career regular season appearances with 48 at three different positions on the inside and outside. Hurst his ver-satility in 2020, his first season in New Orleans as he has started two contests at left tackle with Armstead on the COVID-19 list and the Saints have gained over 200 yards rushing each time.

OL Ethan Greenidge - A mainstay at left tackle for his entire college career at Villanova, Greenidge started 43 contests for the Wildcats. The Long Island native was signed by New Orleans as a free agent aft er the 2019 NFL Draft and after adjusting to the physical and mental rigors of the pro game in 2019, he’s played in 11 games in 2020.

Over the last six NFL Drafts from 2015-20, New Orleans has shown a commitment to defense, spending 18-of-32 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 in a 12-round selection meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the de-fensive players selected by New Orleans from 2015-20 on the 53-man roster:

Linebacker Alex Anzalone, Florida (D3b-17) - Selected in the third round (76th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Florida, Anzalone posted 53 tackles as a senior through the first eight games before suffering a forearm injury. Fully recovered from a shoulder injury that limited him to two games in 2019, Anzalone returns to the team’s linebacker rotation in 2020 and has posted 37 tackles (18 solo) and two special teams stop through 14 contests.

Linebacker Zack Baun, Wisconsin (D3a-20) - Selected in the third round (74th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the Wisconsin, Baun finished his college career with 154 tackles, 15 sacks, two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, six passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The Saints were attracted to his play-making ability that he displayed for the Badgers in 2019, when he ranked second in the Big Ten with a 19.5 stops for loss and 12 sacks (second among Power Five linebackers in both categories). Baun’s contributed the last 11 contests posting six defensive stops and four coverage tackles.

Defensive Back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Florida (D4-19) Possessing a combination of instincts and speed, this Flori-da native was a solid value in the fourth round after playing

in all 13 games with 12 starts for the Gators in 2018, when he posted 71 tackles, three sacks and four interceptions with two brought back for touchdowns. Gardner-Johnson appeared in all 16 contests with seven starts in 2019, re-cording 46 tackles (35 solo), an interception, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He ranks third on the team with 62 stops in 2020 and posted a career-high three passes defensed Sunday vs. Kansas City.

Defensive End 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. Hendrickson was ranked third on the team with a ca-reer-high 4.5 sacks in 2019, adding one more takedown in the postseason. Hendrickson’s picked up where he left off in 2020, leading the team with a career-high 12.5 sacks, tied for first in the NFL.

Cornerback Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State (D1a-17) - The 11th overall selection in the 2017 NFL draft out of Ohio State 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. . For the 2017 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 re-covery. Lattimore was the first Saints corner selected to the Pro Bowl since 1995 and was selected as AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. His five takeaways (two interceptions and three fumble recoveries) in 2018 led the team, adding two more picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win. ). For his efforts in 2019, Lattimore was selected to his second Pro Bowl after posting a club-best 14 passes defensed. He leads the cornerbacks with 56 tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed as he was selected to his third Pro Bowl.

Defensive Tackle David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becom-ing 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. Onyemata had a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2018, in-cluding a single-game career best three takedowns in at Dallas/ Onyemata provided a punch for the Saints defense, having started all 15 games that he has played in and re-cording 32 stops and three sacks to tie for fourth on the team, while being a key run-stopping cog to the NFL’s fourth-ranked rush defense, being re-signed to a three-year contract. Onyemata has six sacks and an interception.

Defensive Tackle 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, 31.5 tackles for loss and 18 sacks. In 2018, Rankins ranked second on the Saints with eight sacks, posting 42 stops and a forced fumble. Rankins ardently rehabilitated from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the NFC Divi-sional Playoff and returned to the field in 2019. Stronger in 2020, he has posted 20 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one pass defense, recording a season-high four stops in back-to-back weeks.

Defensive End 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 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. Davenport posted six sacks in 13 games. After missing the first four games with injuries in 2020, he returned in Week Five and has made a big impact in the front. In Week Seven, his sack of Carolina QB Teddy Bridgewater in the fourth quar-ter forced an unsuccessful 65-yard field goal attempt. He added a split sack in the week eight overtime win at Chica-go.

Free Safety Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at the University of Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior when he tied for second in the conference with five interceptions. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the football. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in as he made 70 tackles, four intercep-tions and six passes defensed, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in the postseason. In 2019, he played in all 15 games with 14 starts, posting 52 tackles (35 solo), the team-high four picks, tied for eighth in the National Football League, 13 passes defensed, a forced fumble and two coverage stops. In 2020, he has 57 stops, six passes defensed and a club-best-tying three intercep-tions. On December 13, at Philadelphia, Williams tied for the team lead with seven tackles (team-high five solo).

Cornerback P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Wil-

liams’ career was initially limited by missing all but two games his first two seasons with a hamstring injury (2015) and a concussion (2016), but he’s rebounded to miss only two games with injury since. An experienced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners, in 2019, he made 41 stops, a sack, an inter-ception, three passes defensed and one special teams stop, serving as the team’s nickel corner for the second straight season. In the Dec. 22, 2019 win at Tennessee, Williams further showed his versatility by making the switch to safety after Marcus Williams was forced to depart with a groin injury and then starting in Williams’ place in the regu-lar season finale at Carolina. Williams was re-signed in the offseason by the club, and has posted 28 tackles, a club-best two defensive fumble recoveries, one pass defensed and three special teams stops in 12 games.

JUST KICKING IT

Between deep touchdown passes and athletic intercep-tions, players often use their hands to produce the game’s flashiest plays. However, players using their feet make the difference between winning and losing, drilling clutch field goals or flipping the field with a well-executed punt, a fact which has proven true with New Orleans’ 10-2 record.

Kicker Wil Lutz went undrafted in 2016, joining the Ravens for training camp. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lutz joined the Black and Gold. Lutz has kicked in 78 games, converting 139-of-161 field goal attempts (86.3 percent) and 243-of-249 PATs (97.6 percent). He’s record-ed 302 touchbacks, the most in the NFL since 2016. His 86.3 percent field goal percentage is best among kickers in team history. Until the 2018 regular season finale, he’d kicked a field goal in a club-record 36 consecutive games, second-longest streak in NFL history. In scoring three points on December 6 at Atlanta to reach 101, Lutz joined Morten Andersen (1985-89) as only the second Saint to score at least 100 points in five consecutive seasons, Lutz doing it in the first five years of his career.

With his first field goal on Oct. 20, 2019 at Chicago, Lutz set the NFL record for consecutive road field goals.

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led in 2020 by lLB Zack Baun, LB Craig Robertson, LB Kaden Elliss, DB J.T. Gray, DB Justin Hardee Sr. and RB Dwayne Wash-ington.

Hardee led the team with nine stops and a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown as a rookie in 2017. In 2018, Hardee led the team with a career-high ten stops, with Hill ranked second with six. He posted five tackles in 2019 and is tied for the team lead with seven stops in 2020 despite a stint on Injured Reserve.

Robertson, one of the club’s special teams captains, also made a big play in the November. 4, 2019 win over the Los Angeles Rams when he stopped Rams holder Johnny Hekker short of the first down marker on a fake field goal attempt. He did the same on Dec. 23, 2018 vs. Pittsburgh in a crucial fourth quarter situation to snuff out a fake punt attempt. Robertson has been voted as a captain of the coverage units for the third consecutive season and has five stops and one forced fumble.

In another addition to the club’s special teams units, Gray led the team in 2019 with 17 stops, blocked a punt and recovered a fumble on a muffed punt as he was selected an AP second-team All-Pro. Gray is tied for the team lead with seven stops in 2020

A seventh round draft pick of New Orleans in 2019, Elliss’ blue collar mentality has fit in with the coverage units as he rebounded from a season-ending knee injury in his rookie season to have four stops in 2020.

One of the club’s two third round draft picks in 2020, Baun, a former University of Wisconsin standout, has embraced work on the club’s coverage units with three stops.

Washington is a fifth-year NFL veteran who was originally a seventh round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2016. In addition to his value in providing dependable depth at the tailback position behind Alvin Kamara and Latavius Mur-ray, Washington has excelled on special teams for New

Orleans. In his career, he has posted ten coverage stops, one blocked punt recovery and also possesses the ability to fill in on kickoff return units. Washington has posted two special teams stops in 2020.

KEY SPECIAL TEAMS PERFORMANCES

Special teams played a key role in the team’s season opening 34-23 win over Tampa Bay on September 13. Two players called up from the practice squad the day be-fore made a significant impact, wide receiver Bennie Fowler III and defensive lineman Margus Hunt. Early in the fourth quarter with New Orleans leading 31-17, the Saints took advantage of a facemask penalty on New Orle-ans’ prior touchdown to have it assessed on the kickoff. Fowler then recovered a muffed return on a short kickoff at the Tampa Bay 18-yard line to help set up a Lutz field goal. Late in the second quarter with New Orleans leading 14-7, the 6-9 Hunt blocked a 54-yard field goal attempt to even-tually put Lutz in position to drill a 29-yard field goal. Mor-stead captured NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors, punting six times for a 44.0 net punting average with five punts inside the 20.

Special teams also played a key role in the team’s Oct. 12 30-27 overtime win over the Chargers. Lutz was a perfect three-of-three, booting field goals of 48, 53 and 36 yards. His shortest came in overtime to give New Orleans their first lead of the contest as he was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Rookie WR Marquez Callaway filled in for an injured Deonte Harris in the return game and brought back six punts for 69 yards and returned two kick-offs for 57 yards. In overtime, RB Alvin Kamara’s 31-yard kickoff return gave New Orleans favorable starting field position at their 34-yard line for the game-winning drive.

Every facet of special teams made a difference in the No-vember 1 26-23 overtime win at Chicago. Lutz booted four-of-five field goals, including the 35-yard game winner in overtime. Chicago averaged only 15.3 yards per return on four kickoff returns, with two stopped at the 11– and 13-yard lines. Harris averaged 22.3 yards on three punt re-turns, including a season-long 42-yard runback. Hardee led the units with two stops.

All facets of special teams helped New Orleans overcome a 10-0 deficit and the loss of quarterback Drew Brees to a rib injury at halftime in Sunday’s 27-13 win over San Fran-cisco. Callaway recovered two muffed punts that led to New Orleans touchdowns. Baun’s special teams tackle on kickoff coverage gave San Francisco starting position at their 14-yard line for what would be an unsuccessful drive. Lutz was perfect in drilling two-of-two field goals, three-of-three PATs and had five of his six kickoffs sail into the end zone for touchbacks. Thomas Morstead had a 41.0 gross and net punting average with one kick dropped inside-the-20-yard line. WR/RS Deonte Harris had a career-long 75-yard kickoff return to set up a Lutz field goal.

Special teams played a key role in Sunday’s contest at Kansas City.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS KANSAS CITY CHIEFS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2020 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS POSTGAME NOTES

With the loss, the Saints fall to 10-4 on the season and fall in back-to-back games for the second time this season. New Orleans returns to action on Friday, December 25 when they take on the Minnesota Vikings at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kickoff is set for 3:30pm CT on Fox.

With the loss, New Orleans’ all-time record vs. Kansas City falls to 5-7. Offensively, New Orleans amassed 285 total yards, including 225 passing and a

season-low 60 rushing. The Saints were held to a season-low 18:46 time of possession. New Orleans’ 29 points scored is their most since scoring 31 at Denver on Nov. 29.

Defensively, New Orleans held Kansas City to 232 passing yards, their lowest passing total since October 25 and ended a Kansas City streak of six straight games with at least 300 yards passing. New Orleans also surrendered 179 rushing yards.

New Orleans’ defense extends its streak to 17 straight games without allowing 300 yards passing to an individual player, second to Pittsburgh’s 23 among active streaks.

New Orleans recorded four sacks of Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes, moving New Orleans’ total to 40 sacks on the season. New Orleans has now recorded at least 40 sacks in four consecutive seasons for the first time since the team did so from 1995-2001.

New Orleans’ defense forced one turnover, a Patrick Mahomes fourth-quarter fumble forced by DE Trey Hendrickson, extending its streak to seven straight games recording at least one takeaway. Seven games is the Saints’ longest streak since recording a turnover in nine straight games in Weeks 8-16 of the 2018 season.

New Orleans forced its first safety of the season, when LB Craig Robertson forced a fumble by Kansas City PR Demarcus Robinson that traveled out of the end zone with 20 seconds to play in the first half. The Saints last recorded a safety on October 20, 2019 in a 36-25 victory at Chicago.

For HC Sean Payton, the loss drops his record to 1-2 all-time vs. Kansas City and 0-1 at home against the Chiefs.

QB Drew Brees made the 285th regular season appearance of his career, good for sole possession of 17th all-time in NFL record books. In his first game since November 15, Brees finished 15-of-34 for 234 passing yards and three touchdowns, marking the 96th time Brees has thrown for at least three touchdowns in his career.

RB Alvin Kamara scored his 15th touchdown of the season on a 14-yard reception from Brees with 9:49 to play in the game. Kamara becomes the first player in Saints history to score 15 touchdowns in two separate seasons, having scored 18 touchdowns (14 rushing, four receiving) during the 2018 campaign. The touchdown was the 53rd score of Kamara’s career, which moves him into a tie for fourth place in club record books with RB Dalton Hilliard. Kamara finished the game with 54 rushing yards on 11 carries and 40 receiving yards on three catches.

WR Emmanuel Sanders recorded his longest reception of the season on a 51-yard completion from Brees with 11:38 to play in the second quarter. The catch set up the Saints’ first score of the game, a Taysom Hill two-yard touchdown run two plays later. Sanders finished the game with four receptions for 76 yards, his highest total since recording 122 yards in the Saints 30-27 Week 5 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

QB Taysom Hill rushed for his sixth touchdown of the season on a one-yard run with 10:24 to play in the second quarter, setting a new franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season (breaking a tie with Archie Manning’s five in 1977). Hill finished with three yards on two rushing attempts

WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey scored the first touchdown of his NFL career on a 17-yard reception from Brees with 2:12 to play in the game. Playing in the sixth game of his career and first of the 2020 season, Humphrey becomes the 73rd different player to catch a touchdown from Brees, the 94th to catch a pass from him in the regular season. Humphrey finished with two receptions for 29 yards and the one score.

LB Demario Davis led New Orleans with 15 tackles, marking his fourth game this season with double-digit stops and his most as a Saint. Davis recorded the 1,000th tackle of his career on his fourth stop of the game, tackling Kansas City RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire with 19 seconds left in the first quarter. Davis now has 106 tackles this season, becoming the first Saints defender to surpass 100 tackles in three consecutive seasons since Curtis Lofton did so from 2012-14.

S Malcolm Jenkins finished second on the Saints with a season-high 12 total tackles, marking his first game of the season with double digit stops. Jenkins added one tackle for loss.

Defensive End Trey Hendrickson recorded his third game of the season with at least 2.0 sacks, moving his season total to 12.5 sacks good for first amongst all NFL defenders alongside Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and Green Bay Packers linebacker Za’Darius Smith. Hendrickson added five quarterback hits and one forced fumble.

CB CJ Gardner-Johnson recorded a career-high three pass defenses and has broken up at least one pass in each of the Saints’ last six games. Gardner-Johnson added four tackles in the game.

DE Carl Granderson recorded his third sack of 2020 and second in December, taking down Mahomes for an eight-yard loss with 4:23 left in the first quarter. The sack was Granderson’s lone tackle in the game.

LB Kwon Alexander recorded the 500th tackle of his career, stopping Kansas City RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire with 5:55 to play in the fourth quarter. Alexander came into the game with 494 career stops, and finished with six tackles, one pass defense, and one fumble recovery.

P Thomas Morstead averaged 47.3 yards on eight punts, which included one punt downed inside the 20-yard line, the 250th such punt of his career. Morstead becomes the 35th player to have 250 career punts downed inside the 20-yard line since the statistic was first tracked in 1976.

TE Jared Cook recorded two receptions for 29 yards. Cook now has 498 receptions in his career, which moves him into a tie for 21st all-time for receptions by a tight end with former Vikings TE Steve Jordan, the father of Saints DE Cameron Jordan.

RB Latavius Murray recorded his first touchdown reception of the season on a third quarter 24-yard catch-and-run from Brees. The score capped off the Saints four-play 75-yard drive to open the second half and gave New Orleans its first lead of the game. Murray finished the game with two receptions for 26 yards and rushed four times for three yards.

The Saints extend their streak to 302 regular season games without being shut out, the longest such running streak in the NFL and fourth longest all-time. The streak dates back to September 6, 2002 when New Orleans defeated Tampa Bay 26-20 at Raymond James Stadium.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2020 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS QUOTES New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton

On if Drew Brees started slowly due to missing several games: “Offensively, we didn’t start real well, so it’s hard to just, obviously, you can point to one position, but I felt like our third down numbers weren’t good enough today. I didn’t feel like we ran the ball efficiently when we tried. Give Kansas City credit. We battled back in the game, but you’ve got to be better on third down. When you’re not, you don’t have those attempts; you don’t have the snaps, the time of possession, all of the things you need against a good offense like that. We talk about time of possession in a game like this; and, that includes converting third downs. Overall, offensively, we weren’t very sharp.” On Cam Jordan’s ejection: “We talk all of the time about playing with emotion, but not emotional. They are pushing back and forth. I see what the official saw. They viewed it as a blow or a punch to the head. We’ve just got to be smarter.” On if the team took Taysom Hill out of some situations: “We took Taysom off punt return; we left him on punt. There was quite a bit of personnel where he was involved offensively, so we weren’t just going to not play him. I wasn’t going to do that. Certainly, we had to be mindful of how many snaps (he received today).” On if he received an explanation on the reception by the Kansas City offensive lineman: “A couple of things (on that play). Basically, I think they ruled it a forward pass. (It’s) a penalty, obviously, that can happen on fourth down. Had it been ruled a fumble, there is a chance that the ball would’ve been back where it occurred. Obviously, they didn’t charge the timeout. There was a pretty long delay just sorting it out. The ruling on the field was a forward pass. And, that can’t be on fourth down to an ineligible player like that, so it stayed fourth down. We wanted to challenge whether it was a fumble or not, we could’ve gotten the yards right there on fourth down, and they wouldn’t have been able to punt. We only had one little, quick snapshot of it.” On the play of the defense: “I was proud of how we competed. I thought that we flew around. I thought guys (played well) against a really good offense. I thought we played our hearts out. It wasn’t good enough, obviously, but I’m proud of the effort. There will be things we look at. We have a short week here before we play on Friday. Again, tip your hats again to a really good Kansas City team.” On if the two minute drive loosened things up for Brees: “He’s outstanding in those situations. He made a number of plays. The fourth down and one play was a big play to Jared Cook. He’s someone that can see the field real well and feel the defense changing. It gave us a chance to win.” On the reasons for the lack of cohesiveness on offense: “I think that it starts with the third down numbers. We will look at the film. We were minus a few guys, obviously, but that’s not an excuse. We’ve just have to be better.” On if the team had to shift its plans with Michael Thomas being ruled out: “That was the plan at the start of the week, getting Mike healthy when the postseason rolls around. And, I think that we are doing the right thing. The challenge is that he’s got one of those nagging injuries that you want to see an upward curve with the recovery. As long as he is playing, it’s hard for that to happen. I think that we are doing the smart thing with Mike.” On preparing for Friday’s game on a short week: “We will be smart with the walkthroughs, like we normally have been. These guys will receive some recovery work in tomorrow; they will rest. We will come back and really monitor the snaps as we get ready for a Friday game. We’ve played on short weeks before, so we will pay attention tour schedule.” On if he has ever seen a team run 92 plays during a game: “That’s a lot. Certainly, when you finish one of whatever (1-of-11) on third down offensively, your time of possession (is hurt). I cannot tell you what that does relative to your snaps. Everyone will scream you have to run the ball 30 times. It’s impossible if you are not converting on third down.”


NEW ORLEANS SAINTS QUOTES

New Orleans Saints Defensive End Marcus Davenport On how many plays did he feel like the Saints contained Patrick Mahomes, only to allow him to extend a drive by making a big play: “Most of the time, that’s the goal anyway. That is something that I am going to have to go back and watch film over. When you play good play, they are able to do stuff like that. That’s just going to come back on us.” On how the team was affected after Cam Jordan and Trey Hendrickson exited the game: “It’s simple. We just didn’t have the same rotation. Even then, we’ve just got to win and do everything we can to win.” On if the defense can take any positives from today: “I take all of the positives. As a team, we are a good team, still. It’s just like any game. You’ve got to do better. Now, you’ve got the 24-hour rule, and then it’s on to the next.”



New Orleans Saints DT Sheldon Rankins Look, I know you guys knew coming in Patrick Mahomes can extend a lot of these plays. But I

mean, how many times did you feel like today you played him really well and had him kind of

backed into a corner and then he kind of came up with some magic, if you will?

“Yeah. Yeah, I mean, listen, like you said, we knew that coming into the game, we knew, he’s kind of

the straw that stirs the drink. You know, he kind of gets them out of some bad situations. And make

some plays for them. So yeah, I mean, there's a few we want back, obviously. But, I really won't be

able to tell too much until we get into the tape. But you know, off the top of my head, definitely a few

we want back, definitely a few that, you know, we feel that, you know, if we just do this here and this

there, or this guy gets off and does that. You know, we’d have them where we wanted and be able to

make a play. But, yeah.”

It's probably been since your rookie season, since you lost like consecutive games late in the

year like this, with the playoffs coming on? I am just curious, where the team's mindset is

right now? If you think it's still in a good spot, even if, you know, this is kind of new territory

for you?

“Yeah, listen, I think, the thing about this team is, we’re resilient. You know, we've seen it all, been

through it all. So, teams in a good spot, you know, obviously, never want to lose a game, never want

to lose consecutive games. But like I said, the good thing about this team, you know, got a lot of guys

who played a lot of football, been through a lot of things and seen a lot. So I think it starts, like I said,

starts at the top. Sean (Payton), you know, going down into the locker room with Drew (Brees), Cam

(Jordan), Demario (Davis), those guys. Those guys have played a lot of football and are going to lead

the right way. We are going to rally that message to the rest of the team and we are good. And I think

we got a short week ahead of us, get ready to play on Christmas. We'll get back to work, find film on

some things and get ready to come back out here for a better showing.”

Speaking of Cam (Jordan), how does it change things when you lose a leader like that in the

fourth quarter? And he can't even be on the sidelines with you all, because he’s got to go

back to the locker room?

Yeah, that’s big. We could sit up here and talk about the next man up, which is true. Listen, the guys

stepped in great, Carl (Granderson), Trey (Hendrickson) and Marcus (Davenport), those guys are

hellacious players in their own right. But, it's hard to replace a guy like Cam Jordan. So obviously his

absence was there. But at the end of the day, the way this league works is, you have to make plays,

regardless of who's out there. So, obviously, we always miss him, we know he can go change a game

on any play. But, we also got other guys who are more than capable of filling that spot and they went

out there and played well and did their job and were able to harass Patrick Mahomes.”

Obviously, you guys would like to get the win here. But if you look at it kind of like as a

process, being on the field, 40 minutes against this team, holding them to 230 (yards) passing

and just kind of how you guys played. Are there positives you can take from this as a group

that can, you know, help you guys learn about yourselves?

“Anytime, you lose, things are going to seem a lot more down then what they may be when we watch

the tape. So, once I watch the tape, I'll definitely be able to kind of see, see a lot of those things, if we

can pull some positive things from it. But all in all, to be able to play this team close and be able to

have a shot to win at the end of the game was big. And obviously we didn't come up with it. But we

like our team, we love the guys we got in this locker room, the guys who go out there and play, our

coaches, everybody that contributes to the product on Sunday. We love everybody and we'll go to

war with these guys every time.”

I'm just curious what it means to your to see Drew (Brees) back out there, even if today was

what it was? Just to have him back out on the field, how important is that for you going into

the stretch run?

“Yeah, that’s big. Obviously, (a) walking Hall of Famer, you can’t (discount) having that back out on

the field. (The) guy’s played as much football as he has and been as successful as he has, been to

the mountaintop. He does nothing but add another piece to the team, getting back out there and

being able to command that huddle and get our offense flowing in the right direction. Like you said,

(it) didn't come to where we wanted it to. And obviously it would've been great to have him back out

there, first game, win. But, this is something that we’ll grow from. It's not a loss, it's a lesson. We will

continue to grow from it. And when it's all said and done, our coaches will put us in the right positions

to make plays, in the right situations to win the biggest games.”

When you mentioned you like your team, obviously, has it been frustrating at all for everyone

on this team that when you look at the whole year, it seems like, I don't even know if we've

been able to see them 100%, or see you guys 100% at any point. It seems like every time that

somebody's been on demand it's like somebody else's going out. I mean, has that been a

frustrating thing from like a rhythm standpoint?

“I mean, it's football, that’s just kind of what comes with the business. There's going to be some years

where you feel like everybody's great, you never really have too many key guys or too many

important guys, that go out. Then there are going to be years where it seems like a revolving door of,

we get a guy back, we lose a guy, we get a guy back, we lose a guy. So, it's just kind of the way the

business works. Listen, at the end of the day, the team lining up across from you doesn't care who's

out there. They're going to go out there and try to win a football game. And we feel the same way.

Whoever's out there we're going to war with those guys. And we have the most trust in those guys to

go out there and execute and help us win.”

I know a lot of times you guys hate these short weeks, but in this case, are you guys a little

more anxious to get back on the field, maybe get a win and get some momentum back?

“Definitely. I think, obviously, the shorter week, from a recovery standpoint, you’ve got to harp on that

a little bit more. But all in all, listen, I know this team, I know my guys and we're definitely going to be

excited to get back out there and get this ball back rolling in the right direction. Two losses back to

back, definitely leaves a bad taste in our mouths. But all in all, we're a resilient team. We’ve faced

adversity before and we’ll battle back out of this and get back to playing the style of football we're

known to play.”



New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees On how it felt to return to action: “I came out of the gate okay; it was great to be back out there with team just competing again. Obviously, it was tough over the last four weeks, so it was great to be back out there.”

On how difficult it is to find a rhythm after being out for a period: “Well I can tell you the first four drives were not what we want, obviously, with four three-and-outs. We didn’t really find a rhythm until the second quarter and the fourth quarter I would say if you kind of broke this down, second quarter, fourth quarter. Unfortunately, there were quite a few moments where we weren’t able to get that first first-down. In so many cases you get that and then you are able to get a drive together, convert some third downs and find some tempo and rhythm. Unfortunately, I’ll say it wasn’t really efficient in the passing game. I think it was a combination of forcing some things down field instead of just taking a completion underneath. There were some miscues. They hit us with some looks defensively where you just had to throw the ball away to avoid a negative play or a sack. So, a combination of all those things, they did a great job, but I know we could have been more efficient. We could’ve found more completions.”

On attributing the slow start to rust or personnel or a combination: “Listen, you have to find ways, and I feel like we’ve done a good job of that all season long. The next man up mentality with a lot of guys being banged up or unavailable for whatever reason and other guys have stepped up and done a great job. I will say we came in without Mike (Thomas) and then we lost Tre’Quan (Smith) kind of midway through so that was tough but I feel like the young guys stepped up and did a nice job.”

On the process of returning to play and benchmarks for that: “I think being able to throw the ball good enough and that was kind of a ramp up from last week into early this week and throughout practice. I still have a little way to go, I’ll be honest. There are some things I am still kind of working on, but it is what it is.”

On a sense of urgency to get back for this game knowing what is at stake: “Here’s the thing, at this point every game is so important. Down the stretch everybody is battling something, everybody is fighting to get out on the field and put together our best effort in order to help our team win to advance our playoff status. Right now, the most important thing is getting our next win so we can officially win the division and then we will worry about the next one after that. So, we have a one game season and that is this Friday night.”

On the intentional grounding call and if he thought Jared Cook was going to run a different route: “I thought he was running by the safety. They brought an all-out pressure so the guy who had blitzed off covering him, the corner, we didn’t have a guy to block him, so he was the free guy. It’s one of those things we had talked about various things during the week and just got signals crossed.”

On his response to the narrative that he was not ready or just too rusty: “Listen, my first pass of the game I should have thrown a check down and if I threw a check down, we’d get the first first-down and get a drive going but I tried to sort of fit one in to Taysom (Hill). And then the next play they brought another sort of all out pressure look and I had to get the ball out sooner than I wanted to. That could’ve been a completion as well, just kind of off by a hair whether its split-second timing or split-second decision and just communication with the guys we are throwing to or me just throwing a check down instead of trying to force it down field. And that’s every game, every game there is stuff like that. We are a very efficient offense; we are a high efficiency passing game and we are going to get back to that.”



New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara How was it getting Drew (Brees) back out there? And is it just going to be a little process for you guys to knock off the rust and get everything going?

“It felt good. Obviously just having Drew (Brees) back out there, it means a lot to this team. His energy, his leadership, obviously his play. So it was good to have him out there.”

What did you see, if anything, that was giving you guys problems on third down today?

“We’ve got to execute. That’s it.”

How do you think they played you specifically? Did they pay attention to you more in the passing game? With this defense, any different than maybe some other games you've played this year?

“A little bit. Obviously, they didn't want the pass to be a threat. And they did alright.”

Would you say this one felt like a playoff game? Did it feel bigger than a normal regular season game?

“No.”



New Orleans Saints LB Kwon Alexander How tough was (Patrick) Mahomes today just with the way he could extend plays and keep plays alive like that?

“Man, he’s just a legendary quarterback, man. We just have to do our job, stay in our lanes and we just stop him. You know, he’s going to make plays scrambling, but you’ve got to stop him. That was the main goal. We just have to get it done.”

They ran 92 plays today, did it feel like it was 92 plays, I mean just given how long you guys were on the field today. And I guess the one positive to take from it is, did you feel like you guys played relatively well given how long you were out there?

“I feel like we played hard. We just have to finish (and) get more takeaways. I did not know we were out there that long. But we were just out there having fun and playing fast. We will see them again. We will just get back to the drawing board and just get ready for this week coming up.”

Were you shocked at all at the effectiveness that they had running the ball because that's something that they haven't done as much this season? But that's a couple of weeks in a row that some teams have had some success running the ball against you guys, I mean was that something that surprised you at all?

“No, we just got to go out there and play hard and play fast. Man, just do us and be us. We don’t have to do anything different. We’re going to get back to work tomorrow. We’re off tomorrow, but the next day we’re just going to finish it up and get ready for the next game that's coming up.”

A big picture question for you, I know this was a disappointing loss today. But, what has this whole experience been like for you coming back to Louisiana now being part of a contender with the Saints?

“I've been having fun and I've been loving it. They took me in as a family (member) and they’re just my family now. We just got one goal, man. We're going to get that goal and keep pushing.”

CHIEFS HEAD COACH ANDY REID

(Opening Statement “Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) got twisted up. He had the splits. The X-rays were negative, but we will evaluate him as we go. Emmanuel Smith tweaked his hamstring. You know about the guys who didn’t play (Mike) Remmers had the stinger. Darwin Thompson was ill. This was a good football team that we played. We had ups and downs. We had opportunities. There were things where we were off a tick on the offensive side. Defensively, I thought we played good football. Exclude the last drive. I felt like all in all we started the game fast offensively. I thought we beared down on them. It carried through for three quarters and parts of the fourth. I talked (to) them about playing four good quarters of football. Offensively, you have to bear down when you’re playing one of the best defenses in football. Everything’s not going to be pretty. You have to stay with it, trust each other and go. I thought we did some good things on special teams with the exception of the fumble. We try to keep moving forward and keep getting better as we go. The bottom line is that we won the football game against a good football team. Sean (Payton) does a heck of a job.”

(On if they needed toughness to win the game) “I think so. I felt like that. We needed resiliency and mental toughness. We had drops. We had guys open down the field and we weren’t quite able to get to them. We had linemen playing in different spots. These are not excuses, but there is a point where you have to bear down. Things are going to happen and you have to go. I think the guys did a heck of a job with it. They didn’t let it bog them down mentally. If they got beat, then they got beat. The got back on the horse, kept going and tried it again. I appreciated the fighting part.”

(On the Edwards-Helaire injury) “He got stretched. You probably saw that where he did the split. Both legs were sore. He is going into evaluation right now. He already got the X-rays done and they were negative.”

(On how the offensive line played) “We scored points against a good defensive front. You are talking about one of the best defensive fronts if not the best statistically. I thought we ran the ball efficiently especially in the second half. We threw the ball well with the exception of a couple of blitzes that they had. They got us at the end, but we were clean for the most part.”

(On having a perfect record on the road) “I’m proud of them for that. It’s different when you are on the road. It’s unfamiliar territory. You still have to crank it up on the road and rally things. There were a couple of people here, but not as much red as black and gold. I thought the guys did a good job.”

(On responding to a team when they have just scored) “I don’t know. I can’t tell you that. The way they respond to urgent situations is unique. It doesn’t have to do with me or anybody else. It’s how they go.”

(On the close games) “You are not trying to do it. You figured this one would be close. This is a good football team. They are coming off a loss, so you figured you would get their best shot. It’s like most of the teams that we’ve played. They bear down and give us what they got. I’m proud of our guys of being mentally strong and working through everything.”

(On the offense handling the physicality) “I thought they were real physical too. I agree with you on that. There back are against the wall. You have two teams that need to win football games right now. I thought our guys did a nice job to run the football like we did and throw the football like we did. We had a couple of more opportunities that let get by us. I thought the guys did a nice job.”

(On scoring in the red zone) “Things worked in the simplest form. We were able to capitalize on it. I wish we would have gotten a touchdown on the last one. It worked out the ones before. I think the guys did a nice job with execution. Patrick (Mahomes) made some really nice plays. I thought the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage very well.”


KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUOTES

QUARTERBACK PATRICK MAHOMES

(On the play of the offensive line): “They battled. They fought the entire game. They got better as the game went on. The guys stepped up into their roles and found a way to get us across the finish line. Obviously, that’s a good defensive line. I thought they did a good job of battling the entire game.”

(On the Le’veon Bell addition) “He has been a great addition. You have seen him in spurts. Big plays happen when he is in the football game. We are hoping Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) gets back quickly. We have good guys in that running back room that will step up and embrace that role.”

(On his conversation with Drew Brees today) “It is just a bunch of respect. Obviously, I watched Drew growing up. I have the same financial advisor as Drew. I have met him over the years at different things and he’s given me advice. I just show him the ultimate respect. He’s one of the best to ever do it. He is still doing it at a high level. It was a great game. Obviously, we came out with the win, but it was a great game by him as well.”

(On the third down conversion to Sammy Watkins earlier in the game) “Sammy was my last read. I got flushed out to the right. I was trying to get the edge and realized I wasn’t going to get there. I stopped and stepped up. Sammy kept working and I was able to get him the ball. You see the offensive linemen continue to work as I am out there scrambling You have to have guys that our going to continue to battle the entire game. It was a great job by them and a great job by Sammy.”

(On the touchdown pass to Travis Kelce) “We actually ran it a couple of years ago against Denver in a Monday Night Football game. It takes a lot of practice to get the blocking right that quickly and finding a way to push it in there. The guys gave me a lane to throw. I got it to Kelce and he punched it in there.”

(On having trust to win a game) “It’s trust in the entire offense. A lot of times in those four minute offense you’re getting straight man-to-man coverage. When the linebackers come up to stop the run, then you have to have guys win. Kelce won today and you’ve seen guys win over the last few weeks. We have to be able to run the ball. I thought we did a great job of that all day long especially at the end. We have to execute every time we have an opportunity to throw the ball.”

(On being 8-0 on the road): “It’s mentality. It’s all about coming in with the right mentality. You know it is going to be a dogfight wherever you are playing. We do a good job with mindset. We step up on offense, defense and special teams to find a way to win.”

(On winning the close games) “I’ve always felt it was a strength. You have to be able to win games in this league. It looks cool and feels awesome to win by 20 or 30 points. Teams that find a way to win on offense, defense and special teams no matter what the score is are the teams that make a run every year.”

(On the red zone scoring) “It’s just execution. Being able to run the ball and executing. I thought we did a great job of both of those today. When you play a defense like that, you know there are going to be few opportunities. You have to make sure that you execute when you are down there. I think the guys did a great job executing the game plan. The coaches called great plays and we ran the ball whenever we needed to.”
