THE MATCHUP After taking advantage of a Week Six bye following a 43-19 victory over the Washington Redskins on Monday, October 8, the New Orleans Saints (4-1) will travel to M&T Bank Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) on Sun-day. The NFC South-leading Saints topped Washington in a contest that featured strong all-around performances on offense and defense on a special evening that saw quar-terback Drew Brees become the National Football League’s all-time passing yardage leader on a second quarter 62-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith. Brees set the record on the evening when he put to-gether a standout performance, completing 26-of-29 pass-es (career-high 89.7%) for 363 yards with three touch-downs, zero interceptions and a 153.2 passer rating. With that contest, Brees hasn’t thrown a pick in the last six reg-ular season contests, the most consecutive games he has gone in his career without a pick, a time spanning 232 pass attempts. In 2018, while setting the league records for yardage (72,103) and completions (6,370), Brees has completed 148-of-190 passes (77.9 pct.) for 1,658 yards, 11 touchdowns, zero picks and a 122.3 rating, leading the league in completion percentage, interception percentage, passer rating and fourth quarter passer rating (133.0). The defense allowed under 20 points and under 300 total net yards for the second consecutive week, while forcing two takeaways. Safety Vonn Bell led the club with eight tackles (seven solo). Defensive back Justin Hardee, playing in the secondary in place of teammate Marshon

Lattimore who suffered a concussion, returned an in-terception 77 yards to set up a touchdown. Linebacker A.J. Klein also recovered a fumble forced by defensive end Marcus Davenport and returned it 17 yards to set up a fourth quarter field goal. Sunday’s contest against the Ravens, who are tied for first place in the AFC North, will mark the start of a stretch for the Saints where three of their next four games are on the road. Since Sean Payton became head coach in 2006, the Saints have posted 52-46 record on the road, fourth in the NFL over that period. The Ravens are seeking a return to the postseason after missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. New Orleans’ offense which is ranked third in the NFL, will feature their stiffest challenge of the season from Balti-more’s defense, which is ranked first in the league. In a 21-0 shutout of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the Ra-vens recorded a franchise-record 11 sacks. “Certainly their pass rush produced,” said Payton. “But I think, just as importantly, their efficiency on first and third down really put Tennessee into those certain favorable down and distances that you want defensively. Watching the game, they were real efficient offensively. I thought they were on schedule, they had balance and their third down numbers were fantastic.” Baltimore leads the all-time series 5-1 against New Orle-ans, as the Saints will be looking to reverse the trend against the 22-year old franchise. Neither Brees or Payton have defeated the Ravens as a starting quarterback or head coach in their careers. Adding to the challenge Balti-more has posted a 27-7 record against NFC teams in home games since 2001.

THE COACHES New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 116-77 overall record (.601), including a 7-5 postseason mark (.583) after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival. Payton holds both the club’s top win total and winning percentage. He continues to repre-sent 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 National Football League. Only New England’s Bill Bel-ichick (2000), Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis (2003) and Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy (hired one week prior to Payton in 2006) have been with their teams longer. Payton is also one of just eight active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, Seattle’s Pete Car-roll, Oakland’s Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), Balti-more’s John Harbaugh, McCarthy, Philadelphia’s Doug Pederson and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin. The 2017 Saints squad yielded an 11-5 regular season record, producing their first playoff berth since 2013, behind a squad led by quarterback Drew Brees offensively and defensive end Cameron Jordan defensively, this team featured seven players selected to the Pro Bowl, tied for the most in club history and four draft picks selected to the PFWA All-Rookie Team, two more than any other club. With running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the 2017 Saints were the first team to have both the Associat-ed Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year since 1967. The Saints defense saw improvement in virtually every major statistical category. New Orleans moved up ten spots in total defense, includ-ing from 32nd to 15th against the pass. After ranking 31st in opponent points per game in 2016, New Orleans moved up to tenth in 2017, surrendering only 20.4 points per game. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communica-tions at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA history. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in September of 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Super Bowl-winning head coach John Harbaugh is in his 11th season at the helm of the Baltimore Ravens. Har-baugh’s teams have earned berths to the playoffs in six seasons. He is the only head coach since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to win a playoff game in each of his first five years. He has posted a career record of 108-73 with the

Ravens since 2008. Harbaugh previously spent his first ten National Football League seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, the last (2007) as the team’s secondary coach af-ter spending the first nine coaching special teams. Har-baugh, the brother of University of Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, also spent 14 years coaching in the college ranks.

SERIES HISTORY

The Saints and Ravens have played six times with Bal-timore holding a 5-1 edge. The clubs first met on Septem-ber 29, 1996 at Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium in the club’s first season in their new home after previously playing in Cleveland, a 17-10 Ravens win. New Orleans’ only win in the series was a 37-25 victory at Ravens Stadium on De-cember 8, 2002. In the last meeting between the two teams, the Ravens defeated the Saints 34-27 at the Mer-cedes-Benz Superdome on Monday, November 24, 2014. Baltimore is the only club that Saints QB Drew Brees has not defeated as a starter and that Head Coach Sean Pay-ton has not beaten.

LAST MEETING

Baltimore Ravens 34, Saints 27; November 24, 2014 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – After New Orleans was stopped on a goal line stand to open the contest, the Ra-vens’ first possession of the game resulted in a nine-play, 97-yard scoring drive in which quarterback Joe Flacco completed three-of-four pass attempts for 41 yards, ending with a 15-yard scoring throw to wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. The two clubs then traded punts but New Orleans got on the scoreboard late in the first quarter with a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Brees to tight end Jimmy Graham.

Baltimore advanced inside the New Orleans ten-yard line on their next drive, but on the first play of the second quarter, following a challenge reversal, it was ruled that rookie safety Pierre Warren, in his NFL debut, stripped the ball from Ravens fullback Kyle Juszczyk at the one-yard line and recovered it, saving a touchdown. After New Orle-ans was forced to punt, Flacco completed a 40-yard throw to Baltimore wide receiver Torrey Smith and three plays later running back Justin Forsett had a 13-yard rushing touchdown. New Orleans struck back with a 20-yard field goal by kicker Shayne Graham and on their final play from scrimmage of the first half, a 26-yard touchdown connec-tion from Brees to wide receiver Marques Colston to give the Saints a 17-14 halftime lead.

The Ravens would answer on the first drive to open the second half, when Flacco engineered a 13-play, 67-yard drive, highlighted by a 20-yard completion to Smith and a 15-yard personal foul penalty assessed to Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro to set up a 31-yard field goal by Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker to knot the score. On New Orleans’ next drive, Brees was picked off by Ravens safety Will Hill, who returned the interception 44 yards for a touchdown.

The Ravens opened a ten-point lead with 11:04 left in the game following a 12-play, 47-yard drive, ending with a 55-yard field goal by Tucker. Graham booted a 34-yard field goal nearly five minutes later to put the game back with in seven. Forsett had a 20-yard touchdown run on Bal-timore’s next possession to put the Ravens up by 14. Brees connected with Graham on a two-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds left, but Baltimore recovered the on-sides kick attempt to ensure the Ravens victory.

WEEK 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48, New Orleans Saints 40; September 9, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Super-dome – The New Orleans Saints' 2018 regular season got off to a disappointing start as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a 48-40 victory at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Trailing by 24 points in the fourth quarter, the Saints rallied behind two Alvin Kamara touchdowns, a one-yard run and a seven-yard pass from quarterback Drew Brees, The Saints converted two-point plays on both touchdowns. But Tampa was able to run out the clock to claim the road victory. Ryan Fitzpatrick, filling in for suspended starting quar-terback Jameis Winston, had one of the most productive games of his career, passing for 417 yards and four touch-downs while rushing for another. Wide receivers Mike Ev-ans (seven catches for 147 yards, one touchdown) and DeSean Jackson (five catches for 146 yards, two touch-downs) did the most damage as the Saints defense didn't force its first punt until 7:42 was remaining in the third quar-ter. The Saints offense kept up for the first half - scoring 24 points - but sputtered at the start of the second half with two punts and a lost fumble (wide receiver Michael Thomas) on the first three possessions. In the first half Bucs returned running back Mike Gillislee's fumble 34 yards for a score. Thomas' fumble was the lone miscue in a record-setting performance as the third-year receiver from Ohio State had 16 catches for 180 yards and one six-yard touchdown. He set the team's single-game receptions record and was the highest receptions total on NFL kickoff weekend all-time. It was his fourth 100-yard game and he moved past 200 ca-reer receptions. The Bucs finished with 529 yards of offense while the Saints had 475.

With their first offensive drive at their 25-yard line to start, the Saints marched 75 yards in six plays, with Brees connecting with WR Ted Ginn Jr. on a four-

yard touchdown pass. Atlanta responded on their second possession of the contest with an 18-yard touchdown con-nection from QB Matt Ryan to WR Calvin Ridley.

WEEK 4: New Orleans Saints 33, New York Giants 18; September 30, 2018 @ MetLife Stadium – The Saints posted an impressive victory against the Giants behind a powerful running game and an outstanding run-stopping effort.

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

LT Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead im-pressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He has opened 51 regular season games for New Orleans and four postseason contests, in-cluding the first four games of 2018.

T/G Jermon Bushrod - A fourth round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Towson, Bushrod developed into a starting left tackle by his third season with the club in his

first stint and opened 62 regular season contests at left tackle. After attaining starting experience at guard with the Miami Dolphins, Bushrod returns to serve as the top back-up off the bench. In four games in 2018, he’s served as an additional blocker and contributed on special teams as well.

T/G Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was considered one of the top college offensive linemen in 2014. In his final season in Palo Alto as a junior, Peat started all 13 games at left tackle and was named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com, The Sporting News and SI.com and received second-team honors from the Associated Press. In his first three seasons, Peat has played in 43 games with 38 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2017, Peat took a massive step forward, opening 15 contests at left guard and left tackle, also opening the NFC Divisional Playoff at left guard. Headed into his fourth season, Peat made his 2018 debut in the Sept. 16 win over Cleveland. Peat possesses both a veteran’s experience and youthful athleticism, making him a key to the Saints’ future success.

RT Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their sec-ond first round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to snag Ramczyk out of the University of Wisconsin, viewed by many as one of the best linemen in the entire draft. The 6-6, 314 lb. tackle moved from Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point to Wisconsin, and in just one season with the Badg-ers, he flourished. Ramczyk started all 14 games in 2016 and was a consensus All-American, blocking for an offense that gained 203.1 rushing yards per game and allowing just one sack. Ramczyk figures to make an immediate impact in year two in holding down the right side following after open-ing all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie.

C Max Unger - After being acquired by the Saints via trade in the 2015 offseason, Max Unger has anchored the middle of the line for the past three seasons, starting all 52 con-tests he’s appeared in at center and serving as a three-time team captain. A second round draft pick of the Seattle Sea-hawks in 2009, Unger has been named an AP first-team All-Pro in 2012 and is a two-time Pro Bowler. The Hawaii na-tive’s opened all 119 regular season contests he has played in since 2009. RG Larry Warford - Originally selected by Detroit in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft (65th overall) out of Ken-tucky, this sixth-year blocker brought size, strength and foot quickness to the Saints’ line in 2017, as he started all 14 regular season games and both postseason contests at right guard. New Orleans’ rush offense responded to his addition, as the ground game finished fifth in the National Football League as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-HOLDING THE LINE

G Josh LeRibeus- A third-round draft pick by the Wash-ington Redskins in 2012, LeRibeus had played in 29 games with 13 starts as well as two additional postseason appearances. In signing with the Saints in 2017, he ap-peared in all 16 regular season games and both postsea-son contests as a valuable backup at left guard and con-tributing as a lead blocker. In place of an injured Peat, LeR-ibeus has opened two games at left guard in place of an injured Peat, the Saints having at least 475 total net yards on both occasions. C/G Will Clapp - A technically proficient player, who through the combination of size, strength and intelligence, was a three-year starter on the Louisiana State University offensive line, starting all 36 games that he appeared in (13 at center, 12 at left guard, 11 at right guard), earning first-team All-SEC honors at guard and center. Blocking for 1,000-yard rushers in each of his three college seasons, Clapp settled in at center in 2017, where he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a Rimington Trophy finalist.

DEFENSIVE DRAFT

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

LB Alex Anzalone, Florida (D3b-17) - A 6-3, 241 lb. line-backer, Anzalone showcased plenty of potential at Florida. As a senior, he started the first eight games for the Gators until a broken forearm ended his campaign. Despite the shortened season, Anzalone still ranked third on the team with 53 tackles and racked up three sacks and one fumble recovery. The three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipi-ent plays with both physicality and intelligence and made an immediate impact as a starter on the outside from day one in 2017 where he recorded 14 tackles, one sack and one pass defensed for being placed on Injured Reserve in Week Five. Anzalone has started contests on the inside and the outside in 2018

S Vonn Bell, Ohio State (D2b-16) - Selected in the sec-ond round (61st overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft, Bell was a consensus All-American and one of the top rated defensive backs in the NFL Draft. As a senior, the Rossville, Ga. na-

tive was a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist after recording 65 tackles and adding two interceptions, one brought back for a touchdown, one fumble recovery and 11 passes de-fensed. Bell has translated that collegiate success to the NFL with ease in his first three seasons, appearing in 37 games with 26 starts and filling up the stat sheet with 195 tackles (137 solo), 5.5 sacks, nine passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

DE Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio (D1-18) - Davenport joined the Saints with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after showing potential and production as a pass rusher during his college career at Texas-San Anto-nio. In four college seasons, Davenport posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he captured Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year honors. Davenport’s strength on the line should be a valuable asset for the Saints front in the future, playing an important role in the club’s packages in 2018 as he develops into an every-down player, record-ing two sacks and one forced fumble.

DT Tyeler Davison, Fresno State (D5b-15) - This run-stopping widebody defensive lineman played in 53 career games at Fresno State from 2011-14 and made 28.5 stops for a loss and 14.5 sacks. After moving into the starting lineup in 2016, Davison continued to improve in 2017, with his 31 tackles (21 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles not showing his true value as a run-stopper. In the postseason, he added nine tackles and one sack. Davison has played an important role in the middle on a defense that is ranked first In opponent yards per game and in op-ponent yards per carry.

DE Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic (D3c-17) - This former third round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (103rd overall) out of Florida Atlantic brought his raw talent, size, strength and speed to a youthful Saints defensive line. In his first season as a pro the rotational pass rusher ap-peared in 12 regular season games posting 13 tackles (seven solo), two sacks for 15 yards lost, two passes de-fensed and one forced fumble.

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

CONTINUED FROM PREVOIUS PAGE-DEFENSIVE DRAFT

DT David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Lagos, Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becoming the first player from the University of Manitoba to be drafted into the NFL. Despite being extraordinarily 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 for the second consecutive season with six starts, making 40 tackles and two sacks, while adding three more stops in the postseason.

DT Sheldon Rankins, Louisville (D1-16) - Selected 12th overall in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Georgia native played in 46 games along the line at Louisville from 2012-15, producing 133 total tackles (72 solo), 31.5 tackles for loss and 18 sacks. On Nov. 12, 2017, Rankins recorded his first career interception. In the week 15 win vs. Atlanta, he closed out the contest with a sack. In the NFC Divisional Playoff at Minnesota, Rankins added his first career post-season takedown. In 2018, Rankins is tied for second on the Saints with two sacks.

S Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior before declaring for the NFL Draft. In 2016, he tied for second in the confer-ence with five interceptions, despite missing two games due to injury. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the ball. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in 2017 as he made 70 tackles, four inter-ceptions and six passes defensed in the regular season, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in two postseason contests. In the Sept. 16 win over Cleveland, Williams recorded a key fourth quarter pick.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - One of the most gifted athletes among the Black and Gold, Williams’ career was limited in the beginning by missing all but two games in his first two seasons with various injuries, but rebounded from the adversity early in his career to come on strong in 2017, when he played in all 16 regular season games and both postseason contests. An experienced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners as a junior in 2014, Williams fin-ished his college career with 123 tackles (82 solo), four interceptions and 18 passes defensed. Williams finished with 47 tackles, his first two career interceptions and nine passes defensed in the 2017 regular season in 16 games with six starts, while adding five more stops and two pass-es defensed in the playoffs.

SACK ATTACK

In 2017, while the improvement in the New Orleans de-fense can be credited to the defensive line, linebackers and secondary as a group, the Saints tied for seventh in the NFL with 42 sacks. After not recording a sack in the season opener, New Orleans has posted three takedowns in each contest during their four-game winning streak.

JUST KICKING IT

Between deep passes for touchdowns and athletic inter-ceptions, players often use their hands to produce the game’s flashiest plays. However, the players who use their feet often make the difference between winning and losing, between drilling clutch field goals or flipping the field with a well-executed punt. K Wil Lutz went undrafted in 2016, joining the Baltimore Ravens for training camp. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lutz joined the Black and Gold and immediately took on placekicking and kickoff duties. Lutz has kicked in 37 games, converting 70-of-82 field goal attempts (85.4 percent) and 111-of-116 PATS (95.7 percent). He has also recorded 130 touchbacks on 216 career kickoffs. His 85.4 percent field goal percentage was best among kickers with at least 50 made field goals in team history. In 2018, Lutz has made 11-of-12 field goal attempts, in-cluding his last nine, all 15-of-16 PAT attempts and has recorded 23 touchbacks. P Thomas Morstead was the first punter drafted by the Saints since 1984. The club’s fifth round draft choice (164th overall) in 2009 from Southern Methodist University, Mor-stead has been a weapon in the field position game with his strong leg, outstanding placement abilities and booming kickoffs. In ten seasons, he has a gross average of 47.0 on 538 punts with a 41.4 net and 188 punts inside the 20-yard line, while also booming 259 kickoffs in the end zone for touchbacks. Morstead is ranked 14th on the club’s all-time games played list with 147 regular season appearances and his consistency has carried over to the 2018 season, where he’s averaged a 44.7 net punting average, ranked first in the NFC and second in National Football League, with four dropped inside-the-20.

RETURN TO SENDER

The New Orleans Saints kickoff return game has found juice through several avenues in 2018, led by Taysom Hill who brought back a kickoff 47 yards in Week two and has taken over return duties averaging 24.3 yards per return, ranked seventh in the National Football League. In 2017, running back Alvin Kamara recorded a 106-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 17 at Buccaneers the long-est play in team history and also has the ability to be a threat in the return game to go with his gamebreaking abili-ties on offense. Below are the three-longest kickoff returns in club records:

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led the past two seasons by S Chris Banjo and DB Justin Hardee. Hardee led the team with nine stops and a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown as a rookie in 2017 and Banjo finished with eight tackles and a forced fumble. In the 2018 opener vs. Tampa Bay, both stalwarts led New Orleans’ special teams efforts with two tackles apiece. DE Alex Okafor also made a game-changing play at Atlanta, Sept. 23, when his third quarter blocked punt that was recovered by LB Craig Robertson at the Falcons 16-yard line, set up a subse-quent New Orleans touchdown.

ALVIN KAMARA

• A talented runner and receiver with a 5-10, 215-pound frame who was selected by the Saints in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of the Tennessee, Alvin Kamara is enjoyed an outstanding rookie campaign. He ranked first on the club and sixth in the NFL in total yards from scrim-mage (1,554), second on the team in rushing and receiv-ing, carrying 120 times for 728 yards (6.1 avg.) with eight TDs and a two-point conversion, while catching 81 passes for 826 yards (10.2 avg.) with five TDs and a kickoff return for a TD for a club rookie record 14 total scores, tied for second in the NFL with teammate Mark Ingram. Kamara finished the regular season ranked first in the NFL in yards per carry. In the postseason, Kamara added 188 all pur-pose yards and two more touchdowns as he carried 21 times for 66 yards with a score and added five grabs for 72 yards and a TD.

• He was the first Saints offensive rookie selected to the Pro Bowl since RB Rueben Mayes in 1986, as an Associat-

ed Press second team All-Pro at the Flex position, the clubs’ first rookie All-Pro since KR Tyrone Hughes in 1993 and was named The Sporting News NFL Rookie of the Year and the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year.

With eight rushing touchdowns and five receiving touch-downs in 2017, Alvin Kamara was one of only four rookies in National Football League record books to have at least five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns, joining three Pro Football Hall of Famers in Doak Walker (1950), Charley Taylor (1964) and Gale Sayers (1964). Adding in his kickoff return touchdown, Kamara joined Say-ers as the only rookie in NFL history with at least eight rushing touchdowns, five receiving scores and one return touchdown.

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, October 15, 2018 What are some of the things that stood out on film that Baltimore did well defensively yesterday? “Well certainly their pass rush (produced). But I think, just as importantly, their efficiency yesterday on first and second down and really putting Tennessee into those certain favorable down and distances that you want defensively. I thought just watching the game they were real efficient offensively. I thought they were on schedule, they had balance, (and) their third down numbers were fantastic. Overall, it was an impressive win for them.”

Going back to the 2009 season the Saints have the best winning percentage in the NFL after the bye week, what do you think has made the team so successful after the bye week? “That's a good question, I don't know that I can put a hand on it. I think each team's different and there's a give and take with what you want to try to get done in advance (of the bye week) and then also getting guys away from the building to kind of recharge their battery if you will. I want to say probably after (the) 07 or 08 (season) I visited with Andy Reid a little bit. He's someone that I think a lot of, he's had a lot of success in this league and his record after the bye week was real strong and we chatted a little bit and he just talked about what he did and we kind of followed that a little bit. Players get away from here for a while and then we'll get some extra work in on the opponent today. As coaches, we've been on the film. We know we're playing a real good football team.”

Was it a welcomed bye week considering the way you guys were playing? “How do I say it? It’s kind of like a 4:00 game, a 1:00 game or a 7:30 night game, in the fact you get so conditioned to not paying attention to the things you can’t control and then it just is what it is and sometimes maybe you are healthier or not as healthy sometimes. Last year of course, (the bye) it came off of a trip over to London. It’s not something you think a lot about other than what you're going to do during it. What corrections you want to make leading up to your next game and then getting an advance jump on the opponent. But I don't know when the perfect weekend for a bye (is). It would be a good one to look at relative to winning percentage and usually youre better teams are going to play better after the bye week.”

Was the bye week good for Marshon Lattimore and is he still in the NFL’s concussion protocol? “He’s still in the protocol, which is which is necessary because we haven't practiced yet, but he's doing well.”

Did you intend to take advantage of Mark Ingram’s fresh legs having missed the first four games and give Alvin (Kamara) a break, or was it the way the game played out that allowed you to do that? “We wanted to run Mark (Ingram) and have that balance. The one thing you definitely see though in the game is there were a number of explosive plays, and so that just changes how the game unfolds. Alvin's (Kamara) nine touches I think is a little bit of a byproduct of a 62-yard scoring strike, another 40-yard score. Those change the pitch count.” We know this was Tre’Quan Smith’s best statistical game, but did he grade well everywhere else in addition to the receiving?

“He did a good job and he has been someone that we feel like is steadily improving. He blocks well. He made some significant plays that obviously were important plays for us to win the game.” Terrell Suggs is a part of that Baltimore pass rush, how impressed are you that he’s still doing what he’s doing at age 36? “He's someone that has great athleticism, great knowledge, understands how he wants to rush and it's amazing. Those are unique players that don’t come around very often.” Is there anything new behind Drew’s (Brees) completion percentage being as high as it is? Are you guys doing anything differently? “We are always tinkering with things. He was 26-of-29 the other night. 90 percent, which obviously is a high number. Sometimes it depends on the team you are playing. Generally, the more zone coverage you get, maybe the higher completion percentage you'll have. It doesn't necessarily equate to success. In man-to-man coverage it's a little bit more challenging, but a lot of it has to do with his preparation. I think in our third down numbers, we're a little better the other night. Red zone was a lot better. But to your question, I don't know that we've sat in each day and said, ‘Alright, we're going this direction to improve the completion percentage.’ I think it's a byproduct of how we're operating offensively and there's a lot that goes into that obviously.” When you were watching Baltimore’s offense was there any similarity between what they’re doing with Lamar Jackson and what you’re doing with Taysom Hill? “I haven't had a chance to completely run through all the different things. I think what we are doing with Taysom is unique in that he is not just coming in and playing (as) a read option quarterback. He is playing a (wide) receiver position. He is playing in the slot. He is playing in a number of different areas and then periodically in the shotgun or under center. So that's unusual and different not just in our league, but that's unusual and in college football (as well). So with each team, when you have something like that, you kind of put your own spin on it and I'm sure that Baltimore's trying to do the same with Lamar.” On the Kamara question earlier, it seems like there was one of those read options where if Taysom might have handed it to him it might have been a big gain. This is a relatively new thing for your offense so how tough is it to watch that play knowing there could be second guessing either way? “It is part of the deal. We talk all the time. We are not going to play without mistakes. You just want to work on correcting it and understand the looks get different. The more he is back there, the more he'll deal with different looks to the side wherever the backs offset. He ended up coming up with the yardage we needed for the first down and it was one where Terron (Armstead) did a good job of kind of shutting off the end. That safety left the middle of the field because Taysom was in the shotgun position. You just saw the hole that Alvin (Kamara) might have had it, but there was no one else back there. So look you just continue to work on the different formations and what goes along with some of the reads that he's making.” I know teams are different every year, but you guys haven't beaten the Ravens since you’ve been here. Is there anything you can point to or is it just their long-term success as an organization? “Each game's been different. Different teams and certainly John (Harbaugh), those guys have done a great job. They've been a consistently good team that's contended and played in playoffs and we haven't played well enough (against them). Hopefully we can we can get that turn(ed) around this week.”

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS WASHINGTON REDSKINS MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS POSTGAME NOTES

With the win, New Orleans improves their record to 4-1 and extends their winning streak to 4 games. It is the eighth four-game winning streak since Sean Payton was hired as head coach in 2006. The Saints remain a half-game ahead of the 3-1 Carolina Panthers in first place in the NFC South. Following a Week Six bye, the Saints return to action on Sunday, October 21 when they face the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium with a scheduled 3:05 p.m. CT kickoff.

Offensively New Orleans ran up 447 total net yards, while surrendering only 283 total net yards defensively. The Saints have scored at least 31 points in three consecutive weeks for the first time since the last three games of 2016. The defense surrendered under 20 points for the second consecutive week and for the third time in four weeks.

New Orleans surrendered only 39 rushing yards on 18 attempts, giving up only 2.2 yards per carry.

QB Drew Brees played in his 195th career game as a Saint, tied for second in franchise history with LB Rickey Jackson and finished the game with 363 yards, becoming the NFL’s all-time leading passer with 72,103 yards. He surpassed former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning and moved into first all-time with his 62-yard touchdown pass to WR Tre’Quan Smith in the second quarter. Brees started the game a perfect 8 of 8 passing and finished the contest 26-of-29 for 363 yards, three touchdowns and a 153.2 passer rating. Brees finished the game with a career-high 89.7 completion percentage. It was the highest completion percentage ever on Monday Night Football, surpassing Oakland QB Rich Gannon’s 89.5 completion percentage on November 11, 2002. It was the ninth-best completion percentage all-time (minimum 20 attempts) in a regular season contest.

Brees has not thrown an interception in a career-high six consecutive regular season contests dating back to the 2017 finale and has not been picked off in 232 consecutive pass attempts.

The Saints’ win improves their all-time record against Washington to 10-17 and gives them back-to-back wins over Washington for the first time since back-to-back victories in 2002-03. Tonight’s win also improves New Orleans’ home record against Washington to 5-9.

Tonight’s win improves the Saints home record to 2-1, giving New Orleans a winning mark both at home and on the road (2-0) this season.

Tonight’s win broke a three-game skid for the Saints on Monday Night Football and improves the franchise’s record on Mondays to 19-22 overall, 13-7 since 2006.

The 24-point differential is the Saints largest point-differential of 2018 and most lopsided win since defeating Buffalo 47-10 on November 12, 2017.

The Saints scored 43 points and have now scored 180 points in their first five games. The only other time New Orleans has scored that many points in the first five games of a season was 2009, when they scored 192.

With the win, Sean Payton now has a winning record against Washington Head Coach Jay Gruden, the 41st head coach he has a winning record against.

Smith scored his first career touchdown on the 62-yard pass from Brees and finished the game with 3 receptions for 111 yards and 2 scores, all career-highs.

In his first game this season, RB Mark Ingram finished with 16 rushes for 53 yards and two touchdowns. His two scores move him into a tie with Joe Horn for fifth most touchdowns in Saints history with 50.

LB Demario Davis recorded his 700th career tackle with his third quarter tackle of Washington RB Chris Thompson. He finished the game with six tackles.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON

(Opening Statement) “Regarding the game, obviously, it is always a special night when you can win in this league. Especially against a good team. And then to accomplish a lot of the team goals going into this game that were necessary to win. And obviously with us being able to win in a night where a significant record was broken, that makes it that much more special.”

(On if Drew Brees can still leave him in awe) “Yes, absolutely. There were some throws we threw today that were script plays. Your progression might be a different set of receivers. He hit a few shots today in the seams that were significant. I can’t recall many balls touched on the ground. It has been a while since we haven’t punted in a game. (Thomas) Morstead had his old kicking coach come to his first game tonight to see him play and got to see him hold. It was one of those nights where guys played well up front. The protection was good and that was a team that played really good defense. We’ve seen their three prior games and (they are) a team that was playing with confidence. Obviously, we did some things that got on them early. I thought defensively we did a great job. I thought our effort to the ball was going to be important. To answer your question though, there is always those games where there is a throw made and there was great vision and anticipation and tonight it was evident.”

(On Tre’Quan Smith touchdown being the designed option) “To be honest with you, on a look throw it wouldn’t be first in the progression. (Drew Brees) felt the coverage come off and he made the right decision. It wasn’t where we saw the ball going in its design on a Tuesday night at midnight and that was a credit to him.”

(On the moment celebrating with Drew Brees) “It was fantastic and I’m sure it will become more special. It is always difficult when that moment happens in a game. You want to make sure it doesn’t impact your team’s emotions relative to winning the game. And the comment I made prior to the game when talking to the team was like, ‘Hey, our job is to win this game along with that milestone that will be accomplished and it makes it more special.’ I think that’s true and I think the players, the coaches, every one of us felt like we needed to be on point. We get a team that plays well together because they don’t want to disappoint each other is always a good trait to have. In the last two weeks, I’ve sensed that and certainly tonight relative to all that was at stake.”

(On Michael Thomas’ emotional energy for the team) “He is an emotional player. He’s tough and is extremely dedicated and works his tail off. There isn’t a more passionate player. It is all football, 24/7, and it rubs off. He is also an extremely powerful player relative to getting into the routes and getting yards after the catch. He made some big plays for us tonight.”

(On partnership and growth with Drew Brees) “I was asked that earlier in the week. I don’t think any one of us career-wise thought ten years forward. We set goals. Early on in 2006, we both got here at similar times and began trying to rebuild and put a team together; the short-term goals were winning and then winning in our division. There wasn’t any moment where it was like, ‘This is going to unfold.’ Certainly, the Super Bowl was a goal, but all of these other things are a byproduct of health, stability, and successful teams, a lot of different individual people. To answer your question, it is in steps and stages. I think the thing that is inspiring the most is knowing what is most important to him and that common goal that we have relative to winning another championship. All the actual hardware, the different bats, those all get dust but it’s about these memories right now with someone like that, as special as that is tonight, and all that he’s accomplished. That’s what you miss when it is done. But honestly, I think it was winning in the beginning and competing and being relevant. The other things take care of themselves.”

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS. WASHINGTON REDSKINS MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

WASHINGTON REDSKINS HEAD COACH JAY GRUDEN

(On Josh Norman not playing in the first series of the third quarter tonight) “That was my call there for the first series. He finished the game and played a lot better in the (rest of the) second half.”

(On explaining the loss today after the team had an extra week to prepare) “We got behind early. We have not been a very good team when we get behind, for whatever reason. We weren’t able to make any plays to get ourselves back in the game. We had three penalties on defense on third down that kept drives alive. When we give Drew Brees extra snaps, he is going to make you pay. Offensively, we didn’t protect very well. We didn’t have open receivers. We didn’t call very good plays. It was just a total team debauchery. I am the one in charge of it. I take responsibility for it.”

(On the early penalties changing the game in favor of the Saints) “They’re huge. You can’t put a finger on how important they are. Imagine if we had three third downs and they (the Saints) had the penalties. I guess they never had penalties. It’s critical in the game of football. I mentioned many times how important third down is when you have a chance to get off the field, you’ve got to take advantage of it. We didn’t do that.”

(On the poor performance of the entire team and staff) “I’m not up here to point at anybody and say that they played poorly. Overall, I think that our whole team played poorly. I think that’s a reflection of myself. I think that everybody in that locker room, hopefully, will say that they have to play better. I absolutely understand that coaches on this staff have to coach better. That is one way that we can look at it. Looking forward, we have Carolina coming in. We are 2-2. There is a bright outlook. We are still right there. And we will continue to be. We have to get some things fixed.”

(On if the Saints did anything defensively that surprised the team) “I have to check the tape. I don’t know if they were blitzing a lot. It didn’t look like they were blitzing. I think that we just couldn’t handle the four-man rush. They blitzed back a couple of times. I don’t think that they did anything that we weren’t prepared for.”

(On needing to get the ball to Jordan Reed more) “Coverages dictate where the ball went. We tried to get Jordan free a few times. Sometimes we had pressure. We couldn’t get him the ball. It was a number of things. We lined him up outside; the coverage dictated that we go somewhere else. We’ve got to do a better job of getting him involved to get him out on the field. He is one of our biggest playmakers, so we’ve got to make sure that we get him more involved.”

(On giving credit to the Saints) “Got to give credit to the Saints, Sean Payton, Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, (Mark) Ingram coming back (and) played well. The offensive line protected Drew very well. First of all, they (Saints) deserve a lot of credit. Also, we had a little hand in it. We gave them too many freebies, in my opinion. The third down calls (hurt). A couple of the blown coverages, those you just can’t have.”


QUARTERBACK DREW BREES

(On what is was like after breaking the passing yardage record) “First of all, coming into the game and knowing that it is there and it is possible and just trying to stay very focused on the game and executing each play one at a time and knowing that your slowly creeping closer and closer. Just not knowing when or how it was going to happen and what is going to be transpiring in the game. Just the momentum and different things, so when we trot out there for the two-minute drive, I think we were within striking distance, we felt like if we threw a bunch of balls all the way down the field and all of those were passing yards then we would probably be close to the record. I didn't know it was going to happen on the first play to Tre’Quan (Smith). I don't think it could have happened in any better fashion than it did. To have been in that moment with my teammates on the field, the offensive line; It just played out better than I even could have imagined. I tried to rehearse the scenario in my mind this week, just so I could really focus on the game, but to have a moment with Sean (Payton) and Mr. Baker, from the (Pro Football) Hall of Fame, and then my boys and my wife Brittany, and daughter, that was just incredible.”

(On Tre’Quan Smith) “In Ted Ginn Jr.’s absence, Tre’Quan stepped in and did a magnificent job. Obviously, he had two really big catches tonight for touchdowns. So, credit to him and the way he has come along here in his rookie season, really made a ton of progress and each and every week, especially in the last couple of weeks. This kid can really help, can be a big part of our offense, (he) just needs to continue to evolve. We also got some other pieces as well, we got Mark Ingram II back, Cameron Meredith is coming along, and so we feel like we have a lot of weapons and feel we have a lot of ways to spread the ball around and be really productive.”

(On Peyton Manning’s message to him) “In true Peyton fashion, he always is creative, I appreciate it. I spoke with (Brett) Favre two weeks ago after the completion record, after we did that in Atlanta. I had gotten a text from Peyton, Archie and Cooper, I spoke to Eli (Manning) last week and really got the best wishes from the whole family. So that was really classy.

(On being around the head of the Pro Football Hall of Fame) “It usually is good news, right. It is hard for me to reflect too much right now because my career is not done, there are still goals to be accomplished and there are still challenges to be met. So, I am still very focused on that and yet when something like this happens and there are so many people that are responsible for that, that can be a part of that, it makes me happy, it makes me proud and it makes me extremely grateful for the opportunity to play this game this long. I wound up here in New Orleans, you all know that story, so it has just been an unbelievable journey and I am just so grateful.”

(On rehearsing the scenario and the emotions involved) “I have broken down and cried a bunch of times this week. Thinking about so many things, I feel like when you have kids too you get a little more emotional, just because I get emotional whenever I think about them. Being a father is obviously the greatest responsibility in the world. I want to be the best father I can be for them, I want to set the best example I can for them at all times. I think about all of the people that have influenced my life in such a powerful way, there were so many of those people that were here tonight that witnessed this, so many people that I spoke to this week that are a part of this and so many others still that I haven’t had a chance to reach out to and that time will come. Two of the people that have had the biggest influence on my football career certainly and made me who I am growing up are my mom and my grandfather, they are in heaven, they are no longer here, but I know they would be proud and they are watching down on me, looking down on me and watching over me at all times and my kids as well. You start thinking about a lot of things.”

(On how long he still has left in his career) “My kids are what make me be better because I throw the ball to my Callen on the couch, he always tells me I am not throwing it in the right place. He always goes ‘Come on dad, not here, I want it here’ he wants like the outstretch catch on the corner of the couch. They are my toughest critics, they keep me honest.”

(On what he thought when looking at the crowd) “I mean, 13 years brings back a lot of memories and a rush of emotions. I love this city, I love this fan base, I love the (Mercedes-Benz) Superdome and the environment that our fans create on a weekly basis when we play here. There is really no fan base like it. Obviously, the bond that we share as a team with our fan base is unlike any other in all of professional sports. They are just so passionate and I wanted this as much for them as anybody.”

(On Tre’Quan Smith’s catch to break the record) “It was really a new play, a new thought, just this idea that you kind of flood the zone and maybe someone pops open and that is basically what happened on that play. There was a lot of guys out there, we threw Alvin (Kamara) out there, threw Mike (Thomas) out there, we were just running guys all over the place and I think it might have gotten them a little confused and Tre’Quan popped right open.”

(On what he has gotten for breaking the record that is to the side) “That is a gift from the QB’s, that is a bottle of tequila and we will enjoy that when the time comes. Last time I checked, it was 178 text messages, so that will probably take us a week to get through all of those.”


SAINTS PLAYER QUOTES

WR Tre’Quan Smith (On being part of the passing yardage record) "I thank God it was me. Now I get to go down in history with somebody famous in Hall of Famer Drew Brees. I’m glad it happened to me." (On what he did with the ball) "I didn’t realize it. I believe I dropped it. Some people thought I was going to throw it in the stands. I dropped it in the end zone and then jumped into the stands." (On if he expected to get the ball on that play) “I did not expect to get the ball on that particular play. It was the second time we ran that play. Cam Meredith got it the first time. When I saw it come to me, I did everything I could to catch it.” RB Alvin Kamara (On he thought was going to catch the record-breaking pass) "I said if I got it, then I’m going to have to go hide the ball and give Drew a dummy ball. We were thinking about it, but we never really talked about it. We knew that he was going to break it tonight. We knew that he wanted to get it tonight. " (On having Mark Ingram II back tonight) "It felt good. It was great having him here. His energy was definitely missed. It was good to see him back out there getting going and having success early." RB Mark Ingram II (On Drew Brees’ passing yardage record) "It was history. I get to tell my kids that I played with the guy who threw for the most yards in the NFL ever. Congratulations to Drew Brees and his family. They deserve it." (On getting involved in the offense tonight) "Our coaches found a great gameplan in order to keep us both (he and Alvin Kamara) involved. We do whatever we have to do to help the team win and our coaches put us in the position for success. I just try to do the best I can when my number ‘s called. I know what my assignment is so I can go out there and be the best me. I want to help us win games and play to the best of my ability. I appreciate the coaches for putting the gameplan together and my teammates for all of their hard work and who have supported me. It’s a blessing to be out there with them and get a big win tonight.” (On knowing his role coming into the game tonight) “I practiced all week and was working hard. The coaches had faith in me that I was ready and staying in shape. I’m thankful they gave me the opportunity. My goal was to be able to help the team win the game tonight.” DE Cameron Jordan (On stepping up after the Marshon Lattimore’s exit) "It’s the next man up mentality. You hate to lose a corner like Marshon for the game. I know that (Justin) Hardee came up and made a big play.” (On Drew Bree’s moment) "It was phenomenal. It almost seems like I am shorthanding the man for the greatness that he is just because I see him every day in practice. I see the work he puts in. I see how meticulous he is at practice. You see his perseverance through any adversity. He has always stayed constant in the ups and downs of a football season. He is clearly the greatest of all time.” DE Marcus Davenport (On the defensive line’s play) "It’s real fun. We were talking about what we did not do. We were kind of upset. We want to stop more plays. Now, we are going to go back to the drawing board and enjoy this one for 24 hours.” (On getting better) "I always look to improve. I know that’s the same way with my teammates. That’s our mindset. We know that we need to get better.


WASHINGTON REDSKINS PLAYERS QB Alex Smith

(On his analysis of the game?) “Hats off to them, obviously they came out and were rolling from the get go and continued with that all night. And certainly, offensively, couldn’t get started early and found ourselves in a hole and were one-dimensional and still couldn’t get much done.”

(On Jay Gruden saying he has to call better plays) “I appreciate him saying that. Certainly there were a bunch of plays out there that we should have made some plays. Myself included. We’ve just got to just learn from this game and get better and move forward. It’s a short week. We have to take this for what it is, get better, yet at the same time move forward. Each week is a completely different challenge based on the personnel and matchups and structure you’re going to see. Sometimes there’s arrows and sometimes there’s not. Like I said, we’ve got to continue to improve from this. We’ve got the tape. As bad as it is, as much as it hurts, you have to try and improve off of it and try to move forward.”

(On the pressure New Orleans brought) “I think that’s one of those things that the way the gameplan lends itself to that. We didn’t have much success early. All of a sudden, it becomes a pass only situation. So it becomes worse, and it’s one of those things where if you have success early, you keep the game balanced. You can handle it better. I think certainly we didn’t help that offensively.”

CB Josh Norman

(On if he wants to elaborate why he didn’t start the second half) “Not really, It’s pretty much whatever coach said. I don’t think I have anything else on that, you know. If that’s what coach said, I just want to go with that.”

(On if he feels like he was made a scapegoat for the team’s play in the first half) “Nah, I mean it was just a play that happened, and you know, it was just one of those plays. The defense as a group, we have to look at that and see what we did wrong. Everything we keep in house. I don’t think anything I’ve got to say that’s going to be a type of derogatory comment or anything that I think that’s wrong. I don’t have anything else to say on it. That’s something that he chose to do. He felt, that in his heart, that’s his decision and that kind of how we’ve got to roll with it. “

(On his thoughts on Drew Brees and what he said to him after the game) “Yes, I did spend some time with him, because he’s been doing this for years. And that guy is a tough, tough competitor. He really is. It’s great that he has come back in and out each week, to see what he is able to do. Like I said earlier, in a week man, he’d throw it 5,000 yards just like he’s sleeping. And it’s crazy to see that and actually be able to play a legend like that. I played so many great quarterbacks and he is at the top of them all right now. Leading in passing and completions and that’s something to be said. As soon as he came in to the league with the Chargers and now with the Saints, he has (had) a historical career. I just want to congratulate him. That’s their moment right there, and you want to cherish those moments. I told him to pretty much keep going strong and he’s not done yet.”

DT Daron Payne

(On What wasn’t working) “I really can’t say, I’ve got to watch film and see. I know we could’ve played harder as a whole and we’ve got some stuff to improve on going in to next week.”

(On being more consistent as a team) “Just go out there and work hard. Have everybody focus on what they need to focus on. Execute their job and not worry about everything else.”

(On what it’s like to lose a game like this after having not lost one at Alabama like this) “It isn’t a good feeling at all. So hopefully next week we get better.”

(On how the third down penalties killed momentum) “We definitely need to get that out of our game. We can’t do anything with plays like that. We have to get off the field.”

(On some of the penalties and the rush-related ones and how they can stop them) “Yes, but we’ve got some stuff to improve on. So we will look at the film next week and get better.”

DB Quinton Dunbar

(On the emotional reaction of today) “Obviously nobody showed up today, nobody. Cornerbacks, safeties for sure we didn’t show up. We’ve got to get better.”

(On if he took it personally that Drew Brees set the passing yardage record against your group) “Not really. Coming in to this game, I wasn’t really focused on what Drew Brees had, or the yards he needed to get for the record. I was just focused on the defense getting prepared to stop him.”

(On the season for the team being a rollercoaster) “It’s definitely been up and down. We’ve just got to find some consistency. We, in all groups. Offense, defense, special teams, (we) can’t keep going up and down.

(On the third down penalties) “I’m out there playing. I’m not a ref. I definitely felt like some of those calls were bad calls.”

(On accountability for avoiding penalties as a defense) “Players play, the refs ref. We only control what we can control. It gets frustrating when we continuously get calls (against us). You can control only what you control. That wasn’t the reason why we lost. We obviously didn’t show up.”


PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME PRESIDENT DAVID BAKER

(Opening Statement) “It was a privilege to be here tonight, because this was history. The mission of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to honor the great heroes of the game and I think you just saw one. To preserve its history and history was made tonight. It’s to promote the values of the game. We kind of call it the church of football and I think this is a great reflection of this because you saw a quarterback there that is not the biggest in the league, probably doesn’t have the biggest arm. There is a lot of times people kept him out. When he was injured, they didn’t think he would come back. So, what makes him the greatest of all-time in terms on completion yardage and in terms of completions? It is that heart, it is that mind, it is the perseverance and the values of the game and he’s a great representative of that. All of you people write about that all the time. It is not just about the athleticism. It is about what makes you great and that is the last thing we do at the Pro football HOF. We celebrate excellence and this is the highest level of excellence. Like I said, there are bigger quarterbacks, bigger arms. There are guys that have played longer, but there is nobody with more yards. There is nobody with more completions. Very few have put a city on their back, like this one or has done as much to turn a team around. That is what we want to capture. I also want to reflect that tonight, he surpassed two other quarterbacks. Who in it of themselves is a Hall of Famer (Brett Favre) and one is about to be a Hall of Famer (Peyton Manning). One day, he (Brees) will be a Hall of Famer. They had those same qualities too. Those are the qualities that made them great. It was not just that they fell out of bed great, they worked to be great. They worked with others to be great. They made others greater, just be playing together. For us, we are excited about this and again we are thankful to Drew, we are thankful to the Saints, we are thankful to the league for stopping play tonight to take notice of this very special moment. Perhaps the best text of the night for me was from Hall of Famer, Jim Kelly, who said that he loved the white gloves and asked if I had borrowed them from Santa Claus. The reason we wear those white gloves is because no human hand will ever touch that ball again. It will be preserved for history. We also have his uniform that he wore tonight, but we also have a whole lot of other collections from Drew. We have his 2001 Draft card, number one in the second round. What we do, not just for Drew and the guys that break records, but for any guy whoever played in this league, there is an archive for that one and for every guy. So, it will be from when they first started in this league to hopefully when they retire and certainly if they make it into the Hall of Fame. We have his jersey from Super Bowl XLIV when he was MVP. We have a football from his 48th consecutive game with a touchdown (pass) which was a record that broke Johnny Unitas which most thought that was the one record that would never be broken. We have the ball from when he set the completions record. We have a great collection of Drew Brees and the stuff we have now, we will take home and it will be on presentation at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, immediately tomorrow afternoon. We are thankful to him, the Saints, and the League, because it would be great for him to take this and put it in home or in his man-cave or trophy case where nobody would see it but his family and instead, he’s giving it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where it will belong to all fans for all-time.

(On the white piece of paper given to Drew Brees on the field) “That was actually something that he had had. It was wonderful to have his family there. It was wonderful to have Gayle Benson there. But for me, when I had my private moment with him and all the people and the hall of famers. What I told him was, thank you for all that he has done for the game. He has done a lot for the game and he is not even close to ending. Someday, someone will knock on his door, probably won’t be me, but will probably be my successor because of the five-year wait and how much longer I think he will play. It was my privilege to thank him for all that he has done for the game and to promise him that we will guard his legacy forever.”

(On the significance of the football) “It is like a lot of other footballs, frankly. But what it represents is the heart of this guy. It represents his character, his values and his perseverance. It represents all those times that people told him that he was too small or when he was hurt that he couldn’t go on or when he was traded (signed with New Orleans as a free agent). What I love about this and what we love at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is we have so many stories in this league of guys like him. This ball represents a great story to all of us. It was all those millions of people that were watching TV tonight, they need some hope, just like at one point in time this city needed hope. Steve Gleason blocked the punt and Drew Brees drove them all the way to the Super Bowl and all of a sudden, the music was back in New Orleans. When you want to ask, how valuable is that ball? It is a valuable enough to save a city. It is valuable enough to give hope to people who lost it. It is valuable enough to teach a lesson to all of us that we can do the same.”

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS WEEKLY MEDIA INFORMATION ......New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 116-77 overall record (.601), including a 7-5 postseason mark (.583) after
