THE MATCHUP Following a dominating 24-9 victory over the Atlanta Falcons for their eighth consecutive victory, the New Orle-ans Saints (8-2) will look to start a three-game road trip of on a winning note when they play at the Denver Broncos (4-6).

In looking to guarantee four consecutive winning sea-sons, New Orleans will face a stiff test in their attempt to do so. New Orleans has moved to first in the NFC Confer-ence playoff race by playing sound football, spurred by a developing running game, an increasingly aggressive and opportunistic defense and overcoming adversity presented by injuries and absences by several key starters..

With 168 total rushing yards on Sunday and three touchdowns, New Orleans put up their most impressive performance of the season on the ground. QB Taysom Hill put up a standout performance in his first career start, completing 18-of-23 passes for 233 yards, while carrying ten times for a game-high 51 yards with two touchdowns for a 108.9 passer rating. WR Michael Thomas showed he is recovered from ankle and hamstring injuries to put up his most explosive performance of 2020, posting nine re-ceptions for 104 yards. Thomas’ 489 career receptions are the most by an NFL player through his first five seasons.

Defensively, New Orleans battered Atlanta QB Matt Ryan with eight sacks and interceptions by CB Janoris Jenkins S Marcus Williams. The first takeaway took place on the last play of the first quarter, giving New Orle-ans added momentum after they had just taken a 10-9 lead on a three-yard rushing touchdown by RB Alvin Kamara. Jenkins’ fourth quarter pick extinguished all hopes for Atlanta, the 25th of his career since entering the NFL in 2012. Just as important though were the eight sacks, three by DE Cameron Jordan and two apiece by DE Trey Hendrickson and DT David Onyemata. With 21 sacks against Atlanta in his ten-year career, Jordan be-came the 12th NFL player to have 20 sacks against an opponent.

Dating back to their days coming out of the old AFL, the Broncos have been a team that the Saints have had diffi-culties in finding success against, trailing the all-time series 9-2. New Orleans’ last win in the series took place in 1994, with five straight Broncos wins taking place in that time. Denver will be looking to build on a 20-13 win over the Mi-ami Dolphins on Sunday, where the Broncos gained 189 yards on the ground.

Around The NFC South: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4) will host the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1), the Panthers (4-7) will travel to the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) and the Atlan-ta Falcons (3-7) will host the Las Vegas Raiders (6-4).

The others are Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Las Vegas Raiders’ Jon Gru-den (Buccaneers in 2002), the Baltimore Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy (Green Bay in 2010), the Philadelphia Eagles’ Doug Pederson and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2020 Saints are only the sixth team in NFL history to have six-game win-ning streaks in four consecutive seasons and with their current win streak at seven had won at least seven straight games in three of the past four seasons. The 2019 Saints edition posted their second consecutive 13-3 regular sea-son record, capturing their third consecutive NFC South title and playoff berth. A franchise-record six players were

selected to Associated Press 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.

New Orleans also ranked third in sacks (51), tied for third in scoring (28.6 ppg.) and ranked fourth in op-ponent rushing yards per game. Special teams captured first place in NFL writer Rick Gosselin’s annual comprehen-sive rankings. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in com-munications 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 Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Me-ghan and a son, Connor.

Prior to taking the head coaching job, Fangio had been a defensive coordinator for 20 of the last 24 seasons at the NFL or college level.

LAST MEETING

Broncos 25, Saints 23; Nov. 13, 2016 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – New Orleans was unable to take advantage of productive defensive showing as a blocked PAT attempt returned for a two-point conversion would drop the Saints to 4-5. The return for the two-point conversion was only the third such return since the rule change prior to the 2015 season and first ever against New Orleans.

After New Orleans’ opening drive stalled at midfield, the Broncos got on the scoreboard first with QB Trevor Siemian finding WR Jordan Taylor for the 14-yard score, capping a 13-play, 85-yard drive that spanned 7:15. The Saints offense continued to sputter, as on the following drive, S Darian Stewart intercepted QB Drew Brees at the Denver seven-yard line. Following a defensive stop, Brees would again be intercepted by Stewart, this time at mid-field, with Stewart returning it to the New Orleans 39-yard line. K Brandon McManus would connect on a 50-yard field goal to extend the Broncos lead to 10-0.

Momentum would shift near the end of the first half when CB Sterling Moore intercepted Siemian at the Saints 38-yard line, giving New Orleans an opportunity to score be-fore the half. The Saints capitalized on the misstep with Brees moving the offense 50 yards in five plays to set up K Wil Lutz for the 30-yard field goal, bringing the score to 10-3 at the half.

New Orleans carried this momentum into the second half, with Brees engineering a seven-play, 90-yard drive that culminated in a three-yard touchdown grab by WR Willie Snead IV. Following an interception by S Kenny Vacca-ro, the Saints offense again went to work, going on a four-play, 38-yard drive that ended with another Snead IV touchdown, giving the Saints their first lead at 17-10.

After a fourth quarter that saw two fumbles by WR Michael Thomas that each led to Broncos field goals, New Orle-ans got ball back with 2:50 remaining in the game down 17-23. On second-and-10, Brees found WR Brandin Cooks for a 29-yard gain, giving the Saints a first down at the Broncos 46-yard line. Brees and Cooks again connected on an incredible end-zone game-tying 32-yard touchdown. However, on the ensuing PAT attempt, S Justin Simmons blocked the kick, which would be recovered by S Will Parks and returned 68 yards for the two-point conversion to win the game for the Broncos.

WEEK 1: Saints 34, Buccaneers 23; September 13, 2020 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – Drew Brees and Tom Brady, the two leading passers in National Football League history, couldn't muster vintage performances in the first NFL 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’d 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 moments.”

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

That turned the normally deafening Superdome into more of an echo chamber. When 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.”

TE 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' TD. Brady was 15 of 28 passing for 157 yards and one TD through the first 54 minutes. He padded his numbers in garbage time, finishing with 239 yards and two TDs, the second scoring strike going to Mike 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 Chris Godwin along the right sideline, drew a pass interference penalty with a 22-yard attempt to Mike 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: Raiders 34, 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 consecutive 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. Wil-liam recovered a fumble by Raiders 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 grab 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 touch-down by RB Alvin Kamara. On Las Vegas’ next drive, Carl-son 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 NFL record 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.

Quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints offense over-came 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' defence 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 NFL'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: Saints 27, Panthers 24, October 25, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome– The New 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 QB 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 touchdown 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 WR Marquez Callaway, WR/RS Deonte Harris, WR Tre’Quan Smith and RB Alvin Kamara in the passing game. Star rWRs Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (Covid-19) were absent..

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: New Orleans Saints 26, Chicago Bears 23, November 1, 2020 @ Soldier Field – The New Orleans Saints earned a 26-23 overtime victory over the Bears be-hind the leg of kicker Wil Lutz on a crisp, autumn afternoon at Soldier Field on Sunday, 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 wideout Javon Wims was ejected for throwing multiple punches at Saints defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Saints linebacker Demario Davis had an opportunity to seal the win in regulation, but a forward progress call allowed Chicago to maintain possession after Davis forced and jumped on a fumble.

Bears quarterback Nick Foles completed 28-of-41 pass-es for 272 yards tor two touchdowns and one interception. Foles connected with former Tulane Green Wave wideout Darnell Mooney five times for 69 yards and one touch-down. Star receiver 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 did not throw and intercep-tion. “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: New Orleans Saints 27, San Francisco 49ers 13, November 15, 2020 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome- With franchise quarterback Drew Brees sidelined by a rib injury, the New Orleans 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 linebacker Demario Davis notched a game high 12 tackles, while cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson tallied eight total tackles, including his first career sack. Defensive backs Malcolm Jenkins and Patrick Robinson each inter-cepted San Francisco quarterback 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 linebacker 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. 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. Saints star running back Alvin Kamara hauled in seven receptions for 83 yards and a score and added two short rushing touchdowns. In addition to Brees, the Saints had these players leave the game with injuries. Josh Hill, Tre'Quan Smith, Marshon Lattimore and 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 TD on a 3-yard run, Hill scored the second on a keeper on fourth down from the Atlanta 2, and Hill's second TD came on a 10-yard scram-ble. 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 NFL 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 the game

with 489.

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft and free agency to the 2020 Saints offensive line:

Left Tackle Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead impressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s opened 81 regular season games and seven postseason contests and has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons, as well as being select-ed as the club’s 2019 Man of the Year and the team nomi-nee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. Arm-stead has opened all nine contests this season for a unit blocking for the eighth-ranked rushing offense in the NFL.

Tackle/Guard 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 71 games with 64 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. He opened ten contests at left guard in 2019, re-turning to action in Week 17 after missing five contests, being named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive season.

Center/Guard Nick Easton - Originally signed as an un-drafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens out of Harvard, Easton developed into a starting swing guard/center by his second season and opened 18 contests for Minnesota. The North Carolina native 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 four games at right guard and one at left guard in 2020, seeing significant action at both right guard and left guard in virtually every contest.

Right Tackle Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their second 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 se-lection 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.

Center/Guard 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 the first ten contests in 2020.

Guard/Center Cesar Ruiz - The hard-working, talented and intelligent lineman is a perfect fit for New Orleans’ cul-ture with the 24th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the Uni-versity 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 nine games, with six starts.

Guard/Tackle Derrick Kelly II - This 6-5, 320 pound for-mer four-year starter on the Florida State line was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019, possessing the flexibil-ity 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.

Tackle/Guard James Hurst - A seven-year NFL veteran who was signed as an unrestricted free agent from Balti-more in 2020, Hurst has 93 career regular season starts at three different positions on the inside and outside.

Offensive Lineman Ethan Greenidge - A mainstay at left tackle for his entire college career at Villanova, Green-idge started 43 contests for the Wildcats. The Long Island, N.Y. 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 has ap-peared in eight contests in 2020.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last six NFL Drafts from 2015-20, New Orleans has shown a commitment to improving the defense, spend-ing 18-of-32 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. Be-low is an overview of the 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 the University of Florida, Anzalone posted 53 tackles as a senior through the first eight games before suffering a fore-arm injury. Anzalone enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2018, when he played in all 16 games and finished with 59 tackles, two sacks, an interception and three forced fum-bles. Fully recovered from a shoulder injury that limited him to two games in 2019, Anzalone returns to the team’s line-backer rotation in 2020 and has posted 32 tackles (15 solo) and one special teams stop through nine contests.

Linebacker Zack Baun, Wisconsin (D3a-20) - Selected in the third round (74th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Wisconsin, Baun finished his college ca-reer with 154 tackles, 15 sacks, two interceptions, one re-turned for a touchdown, six passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The Saints were attracted to his playmaking 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 eight contests posting three defensive stops and four cov-erage tackles.

Defensive Back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Florida (D4-19) - Possessing a combination of instincts and speed, this Florida 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. Gard-ner-Johnson appeared in all 16 contests with seven starts in 2019, recording 46 tackles (35 solo), an interception, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He ranks third on the team with 52 stops in 2020 after a four-tackle, two pass defensed effort in Sunday’s win over Atlanta.

Defensive End Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic (D3c-17) - This third round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (103rd overall) out of Florida Atlantic University brought his

raw talent, size, strength and speed to a youthful Saints defensive line. Hendrickson was ranked third on the team with a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2019, adding one more takedown in the postseason. Hendrickson picked up where he left off in 2020, leading the team with a career-high 9.5 sacks, tied for first in the NFL after posting two takedowns for the second time in three weeks in Sunday’s win over Atlanta.

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 43 tackles, one interception and three passes defensed.

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 in the offseason. Onyemata has five sacks and an interception, coming off a monster effort vs. San Francisco, Nov. 15 where he posted four solo tackles, two stops for loss, two quarterback hits and one pass defense as New Orleans surrendered only 49 yards on 25 attempts on the ground (2.0 avg.). This was followed up by a two-takedown effort in Sunday’s win over Atlanta, where New Orleans held Atlanta to only 52 yards rushing on 37 attempts (3.7 avg.)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

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 at Texas-San Antonio. In four seasons, Daven-port posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he cap-tured Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. Dav-enport’s strength on the line is a valuable asset for the Saints front, playing an important role in the club’s packag-es 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 quarter forced an un-successful 65-yard field goal attempt. He added a split sack in the week eight overtime win at Chicago.

S 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 interceptions 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 cov-erage stops. In 2020, he has 42 stops, five passes de-fensed and a club-best three interceptions after picking off Falcons signal-caller Matt Ryan in the last play of the first half in Sunday’s win over Atlanta.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Williams’ ca-reer was initially limited by missing all but two games his first two seasons with a hamstring injury (2015) and a con-cussion (2016), but he’s rebounded to miss only two games with injury since. An experienced starter from Flori-da State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners, in 2019, he made 41 stops, a sack, an intercep-tion, 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 regular season finale at Carolina. Williams was re-signed in the offseason by the club, and has posted 22 tackles, one fum-ble recovery and three special teams stops in nine games.

The Saints produced their most impressive run-stopping effort in several seasons in 2018 and have carried it over in 2019 and 2020. In seven straight games in 2018, they did-n’t surrender 100 rushing yards to an opponent for the first time since 2007. Below are the longest streaks in team history the defense has gone without surrendering 100 yards. New Orleans hasn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher in a 53 straight games (regular season and postseason), the longest streak in NFL history. In holding Buccaneers tail-back Ronald Jones to nine yards on November 8, New Or-leans’ efforts produced dominant results as his rushing to-tal was the lowest for a leading rusher in a contest for an opponent during this streak. In Keeping San Francisco RB Jerrick McKinnon to 18 carries for 33 yards (1.8 avg.), New Orleans set the NFL record for the longest streak of keep-ing individual rushers under 100 yards. This continued in Sunday’s win over Atlanta, when they held Falcons running back Todd Gurley to 26 yards on eight carries (3.3 avg.).

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’ 8-2 record through the first ten games.

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 74 games, converting 138-of-157 field goal attempts (87.9 percent) and 230-of-236 PATs (97.5 percent). He’s record-ed 285 touchbacks. His 87.9 percent field goal percentage is best among kickers in team history. Until the 2018 regu-lar season finale, he’d kicked a field goal in a club-record 36 consecutive games, second-longest streak in NFL histo-ry

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 LB Zack Baun, WR Marquez Callaway, LB Craig Robert-son, LB Kaden Elliss, DB J.T. Gray and DB Justin Hardee Sr..

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 leads the club with six stops in 2020 before being placed on Injured Reserve in Week 9

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 two stops.

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 Associated Press second-team All-Pro. Gray has four 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 three 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, includ-ing a stop in Sunday’s win over San Francisco that limited a kickoff return to 14 yards.

Signed following the 2020 NFL draft out of the University of Tennessee, Callaway has contributed in all facets for the club on both offense and special teams, recording 15 re-ceptions for 136 yards, returning six punts for 69 yards, bringing back two kickoffs for 57 yards and on Sunday re-covering two muffed punts that would lead to Saints offen-sive touchdowns.

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 wide receiver Marquez Callaway filled in for an injured Deonte Harris in the return game and brought back six punts for 69 yards and returned two kickoffs for 57 yards. In overtime, running back Alvin Kamara’s 31-yard kickoff return gave New Orle-ans 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.

RETURN UNITS

Wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris has made an impact on New Orleans’ return game since being picked up an undrafted free agent in 2019. Harris was signed fol-lowing the NFL Draft out of NCAA Division II Assumption, where he finished his college career as one of the most prolific returners in NCAA history. In the final game of his college career, he set the NCAA-All Division record for ca-reer combined return touchdowns (14).

In 2019, Harris brought back 36 punts for 338 yards (9.4 avg.), ranked first in the NFC and fourth in the National Football in punt return average, ranked second among rookies, following a 53-yard runback for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Sept. 22 33-27 win at Seattle.

He also returned 24 kickoffs for 644 yards (26.8 avg.), sec-ond in the NFC and third in the NFL and has recorded one special teams stop. On offense Harris carried twice for 18 yards (9.0 avg.) and caught six passes for 24 yards.

Harris is the first player signed by New Orleans as an un-drafted rookie following the draft to be selected to the Pro Bowl as a rookie.

JAMEIS WINSTON

• Originally selected with the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Florida State, Winston joined the Black and Gold after spending his first five seasons with the Buccaneers. The Hueytown, Al. native has appeared in 74 career games with 70 starts, completing 1,570 –of-2,559 passes for 19,812 yards with 121 touchdowns, 88 interceptions and an 86.9 passer rat-ing, while also carrying 254 times for 1,040 yards with ten touchdowns.

• Winston signed with New Orleans as an unrestricted free agent after the 2020 NFL Draft after starting all 16 games for Tampa Bay in 2019, completing 380-of-626 passes (60.7%) for 5,109 yards with 33 touchdowns and an 84.3 passer rating, also carrying 59 times for 250 yards with one touchdown. Winston’s NFL-high passing yardage total was the eighth-highest total in NFL record books as he became only the eighth passer to reach 5,000 yards in a season. In Week 14 and 15 wins, Winston tossed for 456 and 458 yards, becoming the only player in NFL history to pass for 450 yards in consecutive contests.

•Seeing his first action of the season in the fourth quarter of New Orleans’ 38-3 win at Tampa Bay on November 8, Win-ston was pressed into action after Brees was forced to leave with a rib injury the following week vs. San Francisco and completed six-of-ten passes for 63 yards, engineering two field goal and one touchdown drive. While Brees recov-ers from injury, both he and Taysom Hill are an important part of the club’s gameplan at quarterback.

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 2017 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, Kamara enjoyed an outstanding rookie campaign. He ranked first on the club and sixth in the NFL in total yards from scrimmage (1,554), second on the team in rushing and receiving, carrying 120 times for 728 yards (6.1 avg.) with eight TDs and a two-point conversion, 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. Kamara finished first in the NFL in yards per carry.

• Kamara was the first Saints offensive rookie selected to the Pro Bowl since Rueben Mayes (1986), as an Associat-ed Press second team All-Pro (flex), the clubs’ first rookie All-Pro since 1993. He was named The Sporting News NFL

Rookie of the Year and AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

As a rookie in 2017 Kamara totaled 81 receptions, second-highest among running backs and the highest rookie recep-tion total. His 826 receiving yards set a club record for run-ning backs as well.

ATLANTA FALCONS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2020 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS QUOTES

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton (On Taysom Hill’s performance and a good team win): “I thought that he played well. He had the one turnover late in the game in the four minute. We had a big touchdown pass called back. It’s a good team win. I thought that we were fantastic defensively. I don’t know what our rushing numbers were (on rush defense), but I think that it’s a really good run defense. We managed to take advantage of enough opportunities to win that game.” (On if Taysom Hill settled down as the game went on today): “Yeah, listen, it’s your first start ever in the NFL. I think that he called one formation (and) flipped around the wrong way. There was one motion. All of that kind of calmed down and he got very comfortable with the flow of the game. We did a good job up front, I thought, blocking him.” (On How Taysom Hill handled the week of preparation): “It’s the process that we go through every week. Obviously, it’s a different type of plan. Our players were good all week, rock solid. Jameis (Winston, all of us (were prepared). Look, this happens a lot to other positions; and, I understand when it happens to the quarterback, there is more attention drawn to it. These guys handled it well. We have been playing well. It’s good to get another win.” (On if the team got different looks from the Falcons because Taysom Hill was playing): “I don’t think so. I think that we’ve seen a number of the stuff that we saw today, we’ve seen on film probably more recently. Certainly, in the second half with our lead, we got a little bit of a heavier run-front look, but we got those in our home and away games last year.” (On how much the offense changed with Taysom Hill at quarterback): “The offense changed some. We carried a lot of the same protections. Certainly, we featured some heavy play-actions. We felt like it was going to be a lot of down-safety defense. I thought that we threw the ball downfield well. I was proud of the execution. Again, I thought that we blocked them up front real well.” (On the defense): “I just finished telling them that that is a really good offense that we are seeing. When you look at position by position, I thought that that was a key. Without one of our starting corners, that was impressive.” (On the pass coverage): “We got into some zone traps and we did a good job of keeping it in front of us. I thought that we were a half a step on each break getting the ball knocked down. We contested a lot of passes. I thought that we were very good on the back end.”



New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara Alvin, what are your overall thoughts on Taysom’s Hill first start in the NFL? “He got a win obviously. That’s not too bad. He did well, being his first start. He was calm. He settled into the game pretty quickly. I know he wishes he had that big shot (play) to Emmanuel (Sanders ). He probably would have wished that went through. Overall, he played clean.”

Can you discuss how confident the team is playing no matter who is injured? “Yes. I think I answered this earlier in the week, but this team is resilient. We have that mentality throughout the locker room that next man up type of thing. Whoever goes down (gets injured) it is what it is. This game does not stop for one player. Everybody knows that. It is nothing personal. It’s the nature of the game. Next person has to step up, get ready and be prepared. In that case, Taysom has to prepare and do all the things he has to do come out her and execute and to get a win and he got a win so we are feeling good.”

How important is it for you all to see Michael Thomas have a huge day? “It is good to see him get out there and have the type of production he is used to having. Obviously being injured is tough for anyone especially somebody that is explosive as him. Being injured and having to battle back and battle back. But you just have to keep your mind right and try to bounce back and do anything you can to get healthy. He is getting closer to 100% healthy and we are proud of him.”



New Orleans Saints LB Demario Davis Talk about the defensive performance today?

"It’s all about our preparation. Our coaches came in and gave us a great gameplan, understanding our team, what we needed to do, our opponent and then just going out and executing. It’s so much about the process. That’s what we’re locked in to. We just know the results will take care of themselves."

With the way the defensive line played today, how easy does that make it for the linebacker corps and how did the secondary perform without Marshon Lattimore in this game?

"Marshon is a big guy, a force. I always tell him when he’s playing better, the defense is playing better, so he’s that key guy for us. I issued that challenge to Marcus (Williams) today. I said Marc, you got next guy. When you play well, we all play well. That interception at the end of the first half was huge for us. Our back end guys played fast and when they play well it actually helps the d-line and they just need a few seconds to get back their. Our defensive line played lights out. That was big of Cam Jordan to put the defense on his back. He sacks Matt Ryan so much it’s like they go to Thanksgiving together. I don’t know. So it was just a phenomenal effort by the entire unit. I’m very proud of how they played."

A lot of people around the country will be surprised about how Taysom Hill played this football game, not just because of how he ran the ball, even though he did that well. Did he surprised you in how he played?

“No, we trust our system and the guys in our locker room. We don’t care who’s in at any time. At the end of the day for us to be successful, it’s about us playing good, complementary football, so we know who’s in there, they’re going to play at a high level, they know they have their brothers to pick them up, whether things are going well or not so well. That’s the thing for us down the stretch to play complementary football. Taysom (Hill) played lights out, protecting the football, moving us downfield, making the right throws and we have to keep doing it to get where we want to be."



New Orleans Saints DE Cameron Jordan You had three sacks on Sunday, what is it about Atlanta that brings out the best in you?

"It’s what it means to the city, it’s Atlanta hate week, but I love them. I think that they have a phenomenal team. When you talk about Calvin Ridley, you talk about (Russell) Gage playing well. You can’t even talk about those two without talking about Julio (Jones) and you have a former NFL MVP in Matt Ryan, so you have to take them that much more serious this week, especially with Drew Brees down. We just figured we give it our all each and every game and this gameplan game together perfectly."

Is this defensive line coming together at just the right time?

"Most definitely, David (Onyemata) ended up with 1.5. Demario (Davis) had another 1.5, Trey (Hendrickson) two and I’m playing catch up at this point. You need to win your one on ones at this point and it seems that they decided they weren’t going to honor all the chips thown against me this year. I love a good one on one show."

You’ve gotten double teams for years and this probably hasn’t been quite your year statistically, but what can today do for you?

“I’ve always said from the beginning, if I’m getting double-teamed, someone else is getting one-on-ones and if they’re winning their one-on-ones, everything is going to come full circle. I tell the whole d-line, everybody just take a deep breath, keep calm, it all comes full circle. As long as you guys are winning eventually they can’t block all of us."

Last year when Drew Brees went down you guys went 5-0 with Teddy Bridgwater and the defense stepped up. Did you feel you guys had to do it again?

“I think these last couple games the defense has been striding in the right direction. The beautiful thing is there is room for us to grow. I think we could have ended up with four or five turnovers. There were some interceptions left out there, but we’ll break down the film and better from that ASAP. We have Denver.”

Any thoughts about Taysom Hill?

“When you talk about what he’s been able to do, you have to be leery of his legs. He’s able to sit back there, drop back and really release the big cannons. There were explosive plays this week when you talk about Emmanuel Sanders does, Mike T does, what Jared Cook was getting loose with. We have a strong wide receiver corps. That’s a lot of weapons and then you add in the Alvin Kamara, lights camera action, Kamara.”



New Orleans Saints DE Trey Hendrickson Eight sacks collectively today that gives you 17 in the last two games against Atlanta, is there something against when you're playing against Atlanta that just allows you to have that much success?

"Well, it's really it's game plan and execution. Sacks come when Defensive backs are covering; linebackers are covering or blitzing, and then D-lineman or finishing or rushing. It's a team game for a reason. Nothing can get done if we're not working on 11 guys together."

Cam Jordan had three sacks today. How big is that for y'all when he gets going like that?

"He's a force. He's been talking about it all week. This is what he what he visualized, what he planned on doing and he executed his plan. Obviously, a three-sack game is something special. I think that’s seven sacks in the last two (games against Atlanta) for him. He is eating and whenever he's rolling, the energy's up, everybody hyped. and that's a good day."

How much have you seen the back-side of the defense grow and improve?

They're doing a great job, whether it's getting into film, putting it in practice, and putting in extra stuff. They're all over these guys. You can't say enough. Like I said, a sack clean, that's tough to come by. These, like having that extra second goes a long way."



New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas On how the offense operated with Taysom Hill: “Man, he played tremendous. I can tell, all throughout the week, his preparation, I can see the look in his eyes. He was ready for the moment every day. He found a way to win today. And he just progressed today and everyone saw it. And I'm very proud of him. And man, I'm kind of at a loss for words because I know he's been waiting for that moment and he finally got it. And he showed what he could do and we still have a lot of room for improvement. That's the exciting thing.”

On how the offense changed and/or stayed the same: “Sean (Payton) gives us a game plan and we go out there and execute it to the best of our abilities. You know, we don't worry too much about, you know, anything else, just executing our play. And going out there playing fast, playing with tempo and making our plays when our number is called. And, you know, our defense played lights out today. So, it was just a fun game out there seeing a lot of guys step up and make plays.”

On his confidence coming back from injury: “Man, I'm just out here to compete with my teammates and secure the victories. My body will heal when it heals, it’s a process. It's a long season, right now in the middle of the season, I mean, everyone's probably dealing with something. So, as long as I find ways to improve and throughout the week, keep working and enhancing my treatment. I'm out here to help my teammates, I'm going to do it.”

On the week of preparation with Taysom Hill at QB: “No, he was ready. All week, he was ready for his opportunity. He knew his number was being called. He went out there and he did his thing and I am just proud of him. And I can't wait to see what he does next week, because he is just going to keep improving. He’s a football player with a lot of discipline. And he loves the game and I love playing with him.”

On connections with Taysom Hill: “Which one, the terrible drop I had? I do not think we ran that play exactly back, but I was really disappointed in myself on that drop. Taysom (Hill) has a fast ball. But that was a great ball. All of his passes today were great. On point. I could have caught them all. And that was 100% on me but we executed and moved on. I felt like I got better throughout the game, so that was good.”

On if adjustments needed to be made having Hill at QB: “No, the adjustment was my hands. Catch the ball.”

On his confidence about getting a game with opportunities to catch balls: “It’s a long season. It’s a long season. One thing I knew coming into this week, that our team needed to execute and play at a high level. And I knew the opportunity was here. And another thing was Taysom Hill. I just wanted to be out there, help him, support him and have his back. So, whenever he threw the ball to me, and I know that goes for all the other receivers too. They were just ready to make a play to help him, help this offense have success.”

On feeding off the defense: “Oh, we feed off them, 100%, man. 100 %. Even the special teams, they made some great plays today too. The defense, man, that pass rush. You know, Atlanta has some great receivers. So, shout out to secondary too. They played tremendous. So, you know, that defense right there is trending in the right direction. And I'm excited to see how far they can take it. Because there's so much more room for improvement on defense also. And everyone knows that in the building. So as long as we keep stacking these wins and getting better and doing our job, I think we’ll be a very successful team.”

On Taysom Hill’s passing game efforts: “I was proud of him to just lean on the guys around him. You know, don't take all those hits running the ball. You know, lean on us, allow us to make it right. Let’s compeiment each other. And I feel like that’s what we did. Like I said, I am just proud of him. Man, he played tremendous.”

On the chemistry between him and Taysom Hill: “I feel like it's a combination of development and just, execution throughout the week of practice. You know, allowing him, like running that route exactly how we’ll run it on Sunday. So, that he knows where I’ll be at and he knows where to put the ball and just execute in the preparation. And that's how you build confidence throughout the week. And then on Sunday, he gives me opportunities and I make them right.”

On changing any doubts about Taysom Hill today: “One-hundred percent. I feel like me and Taysom (Hill), we have the same chip on our shoulder. We're always trying to come out here and dominate and help this team win games. And always prove people wrong and prove the people that believe in us right. So, man, like, you know, he's a dog. Taysom (Hill) is a dog. So, just to see him come out there and play like he played today. Who cares what anybody else says, he’s a baller.”



New Orleans Saints QB Taysom Hill On finding out he would get the start at quarterback: “Look, I had a pretty good idea early in the week, Monday, Tuesday that I was going to get the start. Wasn't confirmed, confirmed, until later in the week.”

On paying attention to criticism about the start: “No, no. Yeah, and not to be rude or disrespectful in any way. I don't pay attention to any of that stuff. I care about the opinions of those closest to me, my friends, my family, my teammates, my coaches. And, you know, you get to this level and you have to have tunnel vision and do your thing.”

On how much designed run plays were scaled back this game: “Significantly. We obviously, had a couple and we obviously ran a couple in critical situations where we felt like we had an advantage and needed it. But, what you saw at the game, in terms of carries, is about what I expected.”

On what Drew Brees was like this week: “Man, Drew’s (Brees) the best. If I'm being honest, I didn't fully understand what it took to be a starter in the NFL until I got here and I had the opportunity to learn from Drew (Brees). Man, Drew (Brees) was with me every step of the way this week. As we watched film, he was constantly asking me what I needed, and how he could be helpful. And so, he was so critical. He was such a comfort for me to have around. And I look up to him so much. He has become one of my best friends. And he was awesome.”

On reflecting about his journey to get to this point in his career: “I spent a lot of time reflecting. This week, my wife and I had so many conversations about where we've been, the process of getting here. And if I’m being honest, it was an emotional week. I felt a lot of love from a lot of people. And it was overwhelming in a good way. So, we spent a lot of time reflecting. And then to be able to come out and get a win in my first start, was gratifying more than anything. Man, I have so much love and respect for Drew (Brees) and my other teammates, that I wanted to make sure that I did my part to help us continue to win.”

On the overall evaluation of how the game went: “Yeah. Overall, I was happy with what we did. You know, I think the first thing is, you come out, you look at turnovers and I was really disappointed that I put the ball on the ground late in the game. (I) Felt like that was a drive where we could have just put the game away. And I coughed one up and I was disappointed in that. I missed a couple throws where the ball just kind of slipped out of my hand. And again, I think that those things are easy to fix. But overall, without looking at the film and really breaking everything down. I was happy with the way that I played. I was happy with the way that my teammates played. And man, it was a collective effort to get this win.”

On battling to get to the second or third reads instead of taking off: “No, I’d say as I prepared this week, look, I always know that I have the ability, if things break down I can make a play. And I had conversations with all my receivers going into the game. And I said, listen, just be ready if I

escape the pocket, to keep working because there are big plays to be had, situations like that. But my mindset was, man, let's keep your eyes down the field and let's find opportunities for those guys. The play you specifically referenced. We were hoping to get a heavier run sell, and get the ball to Tre’Quan (Smith). And the Falcons covered it well. And that was one of those situations where I was trying to get the ball to Emmanuel (Sanders) and they covered it well again. And I was able to make a play.”

On appreciating how much attention and curiosity he gets: “I'm not sure how to answer that. I will say that my focus, my time, my attention was preparing on winning the football game today. And that was about it.”

On getting more run heavy looks on first down from the Falcons today: “Yeah, we felt that way. That they were giving us a heavy box, kind of a run front. And then they were dropping out and playing a lot of zone behind it. So look, that's one of the things that makes Coach Payton, Coach Payton. So, we made a lot of adjustments, a lot of play action pass this week. And that was really because of what they were doing.”

On not taking part in his usual roles this week on offense and special teams: “Yeah. It was definitely different. I think the biggest difference was obviously stepping into the role and making sure that as the QB you're ready for practice and you run those meetings and practice and everything else. But, it was significantly different, but in a great way. And I had a ton of fun all last week and had a ton of fun today.”


ATLANTA FALCONS QUOTES

FALCONS HEAD COACH RAHEEM MORRIS

(On if he can pinpoint why the offense struggled) “We really came out and got things going the way we wanted to, got down the field and weren’t able to punch it away in that red zone possession we had and that really got the three going. You’ve got to score touchdowns in those situations. We talk about all the time our job being able to score touchdowns, being able to score points. We got the three, we were able to get it down there and get it a couple of times. Koo did a nice job of making the field goals when he had the opportunity, but we never got going in the second half. They absolutely dominated us on third down. They did a really good job in coverage, I know the sack numbers will probably get out of whack because of how well they played in their coverage. It was really not a lack of protection or a lack of discipline, busted assignments, it was really those guys doing a really good job of coverage, absolutely covering our wideouts and Matt (Ryan) having to hold onto the ball. A combination of all of those things played into that.”

(On the wide receivers struggle to get open) “They played a nice mixture of two man, nice mixture of corners, and did a really good job of playing underneath coverage and sitting on routes and really taking away some of the things that we like to do. Kudos and hats off to Dennis Allen and his crew and his guys, along with A.G (Aaron Glenn). over there. Those guys did a nice job of covering us.”

(On Taysom Hill) “Taysom (Hill) came out and really had them under control in that first half and did some really good things. He got off a couple play action passes and was able to get his run game going with his legs and that really got him going. Once he got it going with his run game we had to make some sacrifices to stop some people to do those things. He was able to get some completions down the field on play action passes that we have to make plays on. His guys did it for him and the Saints beat us today in a well-fought, physical battle.”

(On preparing for both Hill and Winston, and if prepared as much as they should for Hill) “I just told the guys I didn’t feel bad about the week of preparation. I thought the guys did a great job of going out there and preparing and knowing exactly what they wanted to do. It showed when we came out in the first half as far as the preparation for the quarterback and what you wanted to do. He made more plays, he is a good football player. Hats off to him.”

(On Julio Jones hamstring) “We will find out what is going on tomorrow, but obviously he was not able to come back into the game because of the hammy. He did it pretty early and those guys went out there and battled but we have to see what is going on with Julio Jones.”

(On how to flip the switch when Julio Jones goes out): “It’s just like any other great player, when they leave, in those moments somebody has to step up, next man up mentality. We have to be able to do those things quicker, faster and more deliberately while we are in the game so we can go on and get a win.”

(On if the creativity was there offensively) “It’s hard to diminish what they are doing when you talk about the creativity and what they have been able to do the last couple of weeks. We have to go out and we have to execute better. We talked about this game being about the good, the bad, and the ugly, and we had more bad than good today. We definitely let those guys win the ugly battle. They came out and they were able to intimidate and do some different things. We were able to play physical and do some physical things, but they definitely got us when you talk about the good and the bad.”

(On if he expected Taysom Hill to pass as much as he did) “We knew he was the quarterback, we knew he was going to be able to come out and be able to be the quarterback. We knew he was going to throw the type of passes that he would throw, keeping them on the move with the keeper game, absolutely giving them the play action game. He did some of those things, he absolutely was able to do a few drop backs that he was able to complete that looked pretty good. Other than that, we knew and felt really good about our plan for him. We have to make some of those plays with some of the balls he did make down the field. We were not able to do that today and we have to go back and look at the reasons why and correct those things quickly and efficiently and be able to move on because we are going to see these guys in a couple of weeks.”

(On if the O-line was overpowered or out of sync) “It was a combination of those guys covering us really well, not being able to hold up for as long as some of those pass plays may have taken. We’ll get a chance to go back and see what the analytics say on how long the pass goes in the progression and who got covered, who did what as far as progressions, but we don’t want to just blow blame on the O-line all the way. A lot of those were a combination of coverage and rush.”

(On the plan for Taysom Hill knowing he could pass and run) “you know what he is and you know what he can do really well so you want to limit the ability for him to be able to do those things really well, which he got going really well in the second half. We were able to cause that one fumble on him when he broke out on us on a big time run, and those things limit you on as far as what you want to do. You know he has the ability to fake that and come out with a play action pass and you have to make a play on some of these play action passes whether it be a sack-fumble or whether it be making a play on the ball down the field and we were not able to do that in the second half to absolutely flip the momentum once they got it.”

(On Matt Ryan seeming out of sync) “You have to give the Saints credit. They did a great job on defense, their defensive backs did a nice job to limit us and what we were able to do. Those guys came out and had a great game plan for us. They did a nice job of keeping Matt (Ryan) under control. They did a nice job of keeping our receivers under control. You have to give those guys credit for what they were able to do.”

(On the importance of staying motivated knowing they will see the Saints again) “It’s a division opponent and those things always sting but you have to get back knowing that you are going to play these guys a couple times. We know them, they know us, it’s always going to be about the stuff we talked about before, more good, less bad and we have to go out there and we have to absolutely win the ugly game. We did not win that today and they won it. It was a good job by those guys.”

(On if he is surprised by the performance coming out of a bye week) “The guys really had a great week of preparation. I thought it was one of our best. That’s doesn’t always dictate the terms of how it’s going to look when you go out there and play the game obviously as it happened today. We came out ready to play, guys came off the bus ready to play. We had a nice feel for it in the first half. Going into halftime and having a chance to take a lead going into half but those guys getting a big time sack and then knocking down the hail mary coming out with the one point lead. We really felt like we could take control of the game in the second half and we were never able to capture that. They went right down and scored on us. They got the ball back. We had a bunch of three and out, we were limited on third down which we have to get better at. All of things happened in that game and we could never shift momentum back to where we could take control of the game and win it.”

QUARTERBACK MATT RYAN

(On the New Orleans Saints defense): “They did a good job of rushing different packages the entire day, stressing our pass protection and they did a good job of covering in the back end. Tip your hat to them, they played well today and we have to play better in a couple of weeks when we see them again. We will look at the film tomorrow and find ways to be better next week.”

(On if the Saints defense is a little under the radar based off of what they showed today) “They are playing well, there is no doubt about it. They have been playing well all year and giving people trouble at different time. Again, my hats off to them, I thought they played really well. We have to find a way to be better in a couple of weeks when we see them.”

(On discussions at half on more creativity): “I just think we need to be better at first down. In the third quarter, first and second down we got behind the chains much and put ourselves in really tough third down positions that you are not going to convert at a high clip. I thought we came out and didn’t play great in the third quarter and just got behind in the game, behind in the chains a little too much coming out of the half.”

(On trying to change pass protections and get more time to throw the ball) “Yes, we did, we had some different protection schemes where we were keeping five, or keeping six, and helping with the seventh, but it’s just one of those days. We have to find a way to be better as we move forward, we did not do a good enough job today.”

(On Julio Jones absence) “It’s always tough any time he goes down because it’s hard to replace that production and it also changes how teams defend us, but it’s not an excuse. We have to find a way with the guys that we have out there to better off and that is going to take all of the guys on our offense, 22, 23 guys deep, we have to find a way to be productive.”

(On preparation coming off of a bye week) “Any time you don’t score touchdowns you are disappointed whether it’s coming off of a bye or regardless of the week. We do this and we work hard, our responsibility as an offense is to score touchdowns and to score points. We were not very good today. We have to be better next week.”

(On the ground game being tough): “I just think we’ve got to be more efficient on early downs, first and second down, to get further into drives. I think we run the football best as we get into drives, six, eight, ten plays into it, we start to run the football and wear people down. We didn’t have many drives like that today.”

(On getting a chance to play the Saints again at home) “For sure, it’s going to be a quick turnaround. Obviously, we have Vegas next week and they are playing very well so we have to focus on that and be better and get a win next week, but we’ll see these guys in two weeks and hopefully have a different outcome.”

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, November 23, 2020 Were you surprised about the performance of Taysom Hill? “It’s hard because the fans aren’t privy to what we are, which the special teams snaps, the wildcat snaps, the tight end, receiver snaps. They don’t get to see the same snaps that we might see throughout the course of a year that take place that aren’t necessarily game snaps. It wasn’t by any means an easy decision because I think we have two real capable and really good quarterbacks that are in the building already. So a lot went into it. That’s kind of how we arrived at it.” From a perserverance and patience standpoint, are we talking about a guy who was willing to do a lot of other things for you in the meantime? “Yes, he wanted to play and make no mistake when we claimed him off the film, it was a quarterback, our vision was not as those other things. Those are end results after he was here. Our vision watching the film, and I’ve told it a number of times, I started watching a practice squad receiver (Max McCaffrey) and then pretty soon, started watching more of the tape, more of the tape, then the evening, the next day, we were putting a claim in for him. He enjoys playing and you can’t help but notice that when you watch the snaps in a game.” Is this going to be a week by week decision at quarterback or do you say Taysom did enough? “Look, we’re not making any big announcements. That’s not us. We thought he played well. There were a lot of things we did well in that game defensively. We won the field position battle. We won a number of situational battles. We ran the ball well, especially in the second half. It was a real good team win, especially against a real good football team. I know the record doesn’t say that. When you look at the games they played this year and the team we played, that’s a team we have a lot of respect for and so, but outside of that we’ll take each week with the approach of what’s best for our team.” Cam Jordan’s statistical numbers weren’t what they typically are until this game. Did he sort of break out in this game or was this something that was sort of coming all year? “There are a couple of things that go into that. Sometimes your packages might come from an even front, sometimes it might come from an odd front that can affect the end, especially a guy like Cam over on the right side. It was good to see his production and yet there was a lot of hidden production sometimes in rushing the passer and you don’t always necessarily get to see the end result which is a stat line like a sack, there’s hurries, there’s hits, there’s all those other elements that go into it. You keep working and going harder. It’s tough to rush the passer, especially in a game where it becomes a little one-dimensional, that takes energy. The one thing Cam’s had throughout his career is his stamina and he’s always in good shape, so I think more importantly I’m just pleased with how we’re playing defensively.”

Can you talk about the production of that defensive line? “I think overall, the groups done a really good job, you can point to David Onyemata, you can point to Trey (Hendrickson), you can point to a handful of the different tackles that have been in there. Sheldon (Rankins), when he was healthy, (Shy) Tuttle, (Malcolm) Roach, there’s a number of those guys that are getting snaps. Carl (Granderson) is getting snaps and I think that rotation has helped us and I think that we’ve tried to come up with the best play of how to play those guys and how to play the defense we’re playing.” You talk about the snaps you see of Taysom Hill at practices closed to the public and media. You talk about Trey Hendrickson, once again, you see more of him than anyone else every day. Was this season something you saw coming or has the production he has provided even been a little bit surprising to you? “It’s hard to make predictions relative to the actual pitch count or production that we are talking about. I know he’s a tremendous worker, I know he’s in outstanding shape. I know he’s healthy. All those other things contribute to what you’re seeing now and it’s a credit to him and the players around him. I’m happy for him. I think he would tell you it’s important to win. I think it starts with the other elements of how he works, how he trains, all those things.” What are your thoughts on the offensive line in terms of running the ball and protection as well? “Yes, we’re doing well. We’ve had a couple guys in and out of the lineup with a couple nicks and injuries and yesterday’s front was different to some of the fronts we’ve seen. You’re getting a lot of movement, hard slant and angle defense where you’re landmarks can change, things can change in the run game. It’s difficult to prepare for that, to actually simulate what that will be like on gameday and I’m sure that having gone through it yesterday we’re only two weeks from seeing it again.” How much has the coaching staff embraced replacing injured players and getting comparable performances? “Our job is to embrace the challenge even before the injury. We’re developing everyone in the building on the roster, that’s our job. We’re not just coaching the starters, we’re coaching the guys that are maybe going to play a role in that game and also guys that are on the practice squad. We’re trying to develop everyone and maybe look at how these players that are here can fit and help us. That’s our job and so then when someone has to ascend into a different role on gameday, we’re able to prepare them for that role.” What do you put behind the increase in takeaways lately? “That’s a good question. The first thing that comes to mind when you have a game that’s one-dimensional and the opponent’s passing, it’s harder to play offense and you can get results via sacks, hurries and generally speaking there’s more risk in the throws and your chances of interceptions and fumbles in the pocket go up.”

You said it was a difficult decision on which quarterback to go with last week. After the game, after it went so well, was that maybe a little bit more personally gratifying because of the decision and that it all turned out so well? “No, I was happy to get the win against Atlanta and I’m happy for Taysom (Hill) obviously because there’s a lot of pressure in that spot. He or Jameis (Winston) come into that spot there’s pressure, no different than last year with Teddy (Bridgewater) in Seattle. There’s a lot of pressure when you all of a sudden become that starter. So I was happy he played well and we played a good complementary game. There was an obvious amount of attention drawn to it because many who covered the game thought it might be Jameis as opposed to Taysom and then of course those people covering the game don’t want to be wrong, so that there’s a reaction when you think something’s going to happen and it doesn’t then it must be the wrong decision, but no one else has all the other stuff taken into account. That’s what it is.” New Orleans Saints Running Back Latavius Murray Video Call with New Orleans Media Monday, November 23, 2020 You guys have been playing extremely well defensively these past three weeks. How much pressure does that take off an offense when the defense gets the stops and forces the turnovers continually to put the offense in position to be successful? “It helps out a lot. It makes our offense’s job a little easier but also when we’re getting the ball back and they’re (defense) getting off the field without a score, we’ll be hard to beat. If we’re able to play that way, complementary football, we’ll be okay.” Did you guys feel that you were imposing your will in the run game down the stretch yesterday? “Yes, the run game is a mentality and yesterday I felt it was a physical game. We definitely wanted to impose our will. We want to do that every week, but yesterday for sure, just what the gameplan and how the game was going. We had some opportunities to have a physical finish to that game.” One of the more productive games was by you yesterday for you in all-purpose yards with your receiving performance. Was there anything that you were seeing differently yesterday that allowed you to succeed or was that kind of how the game unfolded? “Yes, that was how the game unfolded. I think it’s how it unfolded. The two catches out of the backfield, one was a screen play, one was a checkdown. I think I made the guy miss on one. Obviously I’d like to build on that and that’s how you’re able to make these plays, making guys miss and kind of turning a short gain into a longer gain. You have to continue to build.” How much pride do you take being able to help out in the passing game as it’s not something you were totally asked to do a lot prior to coming here?

“I think for me, it’s just playing winning football, doing the things you have to do, getting yards after the catch and making people miss, catching the ball when it’s thrown to you, picking up protections, protecting the ball, just playing winning football is what I felt I’ve done throughout my career and I’ve always tried to get better. When I’m catching the ball out of the backfield, obviously my objective is to catch the ball and then try to turn it into a bigger play. I want to be an outlet and try to get the ball down the field when I get my hands on it.” You guys had another offensive lineman go down when Andrus Peat suffered a concussion, it seems like when it’s happened this year with linemen getting hurt you haven’t missed a beat. How important was the performance of Nick Easton and Cesar Ruiz yesterday with Taysom Hill’s first start? “When you look at it, we haven’t really a had a full, completely healthy team maybe with the exception of one game, so that is how it is. That’s how this game is and how it’s going to be. Guys get hurt. Guys go down. I think everyone here is going through the process, the preparation during the week, so when a guy does go down, everyone is attuned to the gameplan and what’s happening when they take the field. That’s huge, because injuries happen and we will definitely have to continue to overcome it as we finish out the season.” On the offensive line, how confident are you guys with the way they’re playing with you as a running back. How confident are you running behind them? “I’ve had a lot of confidence since day one in them and that doesn’t change. Again, it’s about the team in the building. A team that you can improve on and go after what we want to go after.” Talking about different pieces, can you talk about Michael Thomas yesterday? “Michael Thomas is one of the best receivers in the NFL and I think because of the injuries early on this season, some people may have had some doubts about that. We haven’t. He just went out there and showed it again yesterday.” Can you talk about the confidence that the team had in Taysom Hill yesterday? “No one was different. We’re all here to adjust. We’re all here as part of a team, as part of something bigger than our individual self. No one was different. Everybody knew that they had a job to do and they were here for a reason, so I think everyone took that to the field on Sunday and we’ll continue to do that. If a guy goes down or it doesn’t matter what happens throughout the course of the season, we have to be ready to go. The opponent is looking to win. Do everything you have to to come out on the other side.” New Orleans Saints Defensive Back C.J. Gardner-Johnson Video Call with New Orleans Media Monday, November 23, 2020 You have been forcing a lot of turnovers lately. I'm just wondering if there was any concerted effort to get that turned around for you guys and what's kind of been behind that increase lately in your opinion?

“Get the ball. We’re just playing to get the ball. When you get one turnover, they come in bundles. Everybody knows that. You can see it with teams early on in the season, that were getting picks, they come in bundles, forced fumbles. And we just want to do the same thing. But, it took us a while to get going, because we had to gel together, get that chemistry, know our goals, know our roles, just continue to play football and not focus on the outside because everybody knows how the season started. As a result, everybody started panicking for us and we were just like, we are going to get it going. You see it coming together in the past couple weeks and it is going well for us right now.” Can you describe the groove you guys are in defensively right now? I think when people think about rhythm they always think about our offense, but what kind of rhythm are you guys in defensively? “Come out fast. And we say come out fast, put your eyes in the right place and just do what you’re supposed to do. When you put your eyes in the right spot, you'd be amazed at how good a defense will play. And we're not talking about no one man, we're not just saying in general, your eyes have to be good on every play. And I feel like everybody has been doing their job and just focusing on what we’re supposed to do, what they’re supposed to do, knowing their role. So, when Coach says, okay, your eyes need to be on this guard (player being covered), we know we can depend on our teammates to put his eyes on that guard because they’re doing their job. There’s 11 people on the field, so we should depend on each other to get started. Like when we go out there, we just (have a feeling, let’s relax, let’s focus, (like) it’s practice. We win the game in practice. That is how we feel and when we go out there, it is just a camaraderie of everybody from the D-line, to the linebackers, to the DBs. Like everybody at once, when we go out there we just cannot say we start fast, because we come out ready to play. And really, that is more accurate than coming out fast, because that is often the term. We are just ready to play. We’re ready to come out there and compete.” The defense had eight sacks yesterday and they credited it to the coverage that you were doing in the back end. How much pride do you take that, when you are doing your job in the secondary, that defensive line and the linebackers are continuing to eat up front of the opponent’s offensive line? “I feel like we got disrespected as a whole. The D-line isn’t receiving as much credit as they should, from everybody. But, we don't care, you just see what they can do up front. We have Cam (Jordan), Trey (Hendrickson), Malcom (Brown), David (Onyemata), Malcolm Roach, you got Shy Tuttle, Marcus Davenport, you got a lot of guys that come in off a high end. When these come in they know they have to get to the quarterback. The linebackers and DBs, we felt like, we had to do our job. We got tired of being talked about, there’s talk about saying that we can’t cover, we can’t run, we can’t do this, players getting a little too old. And we’re just tired of all that. We just want to go out and (show) like you said, we have players. You can see that, like, past few weeks, nobody can’t, do anything (answering detractors). We’re just ready to go out there and shut people up and do our job. That’s my job focus, and I hope that’s my teammates' focus. Do your job.”

How big of a shot in the arm has Kwon Alexander given you guys? “A big energy boost. Everybody on our team is high profile. Everybody on our team is very talented. If they were not, they would not be here. So we think highly of every player and just adding another phenomenal player. Yesterday, you can see a glimpse of the athleticism. He almost caught a diving pick. I was so happy for him, but he knows, that's 100 push ups. But I am just glad he is comfortable. You can see he is comfortable, happy. He is just out there playing football and that’s what the game is for.” And I know Sean Payton harps a lot on like, situational stuff. Early in the year, the red zone defense numbers were really bad, but lately they've turned around a lot. What was kind of the key to fixing that stuff for you, do you think? “Teams can’t win games if they don't score. Simple as that. And I can't tell you more, they can't score. When we get out down there, that’s my motto, they can't score here. No matter what we have to do. Field goal, at max, it is like that. So, going out there with that mindset, it just puts you on a different edge and on a higher alert. Because everything is fast, you’ve got to be able to react fast, do your job fast. So, just coming together in that red zone as a defense is, it’s a beautiful thing right now.” You’ve mentioned a few times about playing fast and moving fast, but how much has it slowed down for you in terms of being able to diagnose and kind of figure it out quickly? “Your eyes. Like I said earlier, it goes back to your eyes and just eliminating all distractions. I feel like this has been good for me, because I had a rough summer. I feel like going into the season, I felt like I had a weight on my shoulders, just to hit everybody’s requirements. But, sitting with Coach AG (Aaron Glenn), Coach Payton. Even talking to (the) GM, just (encouraging me), hey keep your focus and just go out there and play your game, because they depend on me. And just like I said, this summer was rough. But, coming into this year, it’s a blessing just to be here. I'm just glad to be playing on this team, because who knows what would happen. I'm just glad that I have a great coaching staff there. I have everybody believing in me and I just believe that (what I have to do is) just put my head down and keep working. I don’t really do too much. I put my eyes in the right spot, I keep my mind focused.” Just curious what the team's reaction was to Taysom (Hill) finally getting his first start at quarterback yesterday and just doing so well in that role? “I wasn’t surprised. I do not know why you’re acting surprised. You come to practice, have your binoculars out. I don’t know why you’re acting surprised. You have Drew (Brees) mentoring him, mentoring two good quarterbacks. Let’s keep rolling. You see what we did, so it matters. I don’t know why they are putting so much pressure on him. It is a big job. I understand that? But everybody knows we win the game. I do not care how you get it done. You can throw a million picks, a million touchdowns, you win the game, nobody will fault you. Nobody will talk about what you did, but you won. So, I’m glad he came in. Like you said, he knows his role, he knows his job. He knows he’s been called upon, so he had to step up and do his thing. Nobody wants to talk about that, but we got the win though.”
