NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2019 – 12:00 P.M. (CST) BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM – CHARLOTTE, N.C. TV: FOX (WVUE FOX 8 locally) – Kenny Albert (play-by-play), Ronde` Bar- ber (color analyst) and Lindsay Czarniak (sideline) NATIONAL RADIO: Compass Media Network – Bill Rosinski (play-by-play) and Brian Baldinger (color analyst) LOCAL RADIO: WWL (870 AM and 105.3 FM) – Zach Strief (play-by-play), Deuce McAllister (color analyst) and Steve Geller (sideline) SPANISH LANGUAGE RADIO: KGLA (830 AM and 105.7 FM) – Mario Je- rez (play-by-play), Juan Carlos Ramos and Victor Quinonez (color analysts) THE MATCHUP After an impressive 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the New Orle- ans Saints will travel to Bank of America Stadium in Char- lotte for their regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers. With the win over the Titans, New Orleans improved to 12-3. With the NFC South sealed up since Thanksgiving night along with at least the NFC’s third seed in the playoffs, New Orleans is very much alive for a top-two seed in the postseason. With a loss on Monday night by the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans can at least clinch the second seed with a win on Sunday. After falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, New Orle- ans scored touchdowns on four consecutive full offensive drives in the second and third quarters, finishing with their third consecutive output of at least 34 points, as they have moved into the NFL’s top five in scoring. Saints QB Drew Brees completed 27-of-38 passes for 279 yards with three touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a 118.2 passer rating. Brees’ top three weapons in his arsenal, TE Jared Cook, RB Alvin Kamara and WR Mi- chael Thomas all enjoyed standout afternoons. Cook posted three receptions for 84 yards with two re- ceptions, including a 61-yard scoring grab that was the longest catch by a Black and Gold tight end since 1978. Cook has fulfilled the expectation of being the playmaker at the position the Saints sought, posting 41 receptions for 661 yards (16.1 avg.) and a career-high eight touchdowns. Kamara carried 11 times for a game-high 80 yards and two touchdowns, including a 40-yard scoring run and also caught six passes for 30 yards. He has become only the third player in NFL record books with both 500 yards rush- ing and 500 yards receiving in each of his first three sea- sons. Thomas finished with 12 receptions for 136 yards and a fourth quarter touchdown. Now with 145 receptions on the season, he became the NFL’s single-season catches recordholder. Thomas’ 1,688 receiving yards, which leads the NFL, is the tenth-highest total in league record books. After giving up the two early touchdowns, the New Orle- ans defense rallied to pick up five sacks and keep the pressure on the Titans offense. When the Titans got the ball back from a failed fake punt attempt late in the fourth quarter at their 38-yard line, rookie S C.J. Gardner- Johnson tackled Tennessee WR Kalif Raymond, forced the football out and returned it 37 yards to the Ti- tans 25-yard line in what would lead to New Orleans’ final touchdown to seal the win. Gardner’s versatility has been a boon as he’s posted 44 stops, one interception, eight passes defensed and the forced fumble/recovery.

THE MATCHUP After an impressive 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the New Orle-ans Saints will travel to Bank of America Stadium in Char-lotte for their regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers.

With the win over the Titans, New Orleans improved to 12-3. With the NFC South sealed up since Thanksgiving night along with at least the NFC’s third seed in the playoffs, New Orleans is very much alive for a top-two seed in the postseason. With a loss on Monday night by the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans can at least clinch the second seed with a win on Sunday.

After falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, New Orle-ans scored touchdowns on four consecutive full offensive drives in the second and third quarters, finishing with their third consecutive output of at least 34 points, as they have moved into the NFL’s top five in scoring.

Saints QB Drew Brees completed 27-of-38 passes for 279 yards with three touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a 118.2 passer rating. Brees’ top three weapons in his arsenal, TE Jared Cook, RB Alvin Kamara and WR Mi-chael Thomas all enjoyed standout afternoons.

Cook posted three receptions for 84 yards with two re-ceptions, including a 61-yard scoring grab that was the

longest catch by a Black and Gold tight end since 1978. Cook has fulfilled the expectation of being the playmaker at the position the Saints sought, posting 41 receptions for 661 yards (16.1 avg.) and a career-high eight touchdowns.

Kamara carried 11 times for a game-high 80 yards and two touchdowns, including a 40-yard scoring run and also caught six passes for 30 yards. He has become only the third player in NFL record books with both 500 yards rush-ing and 500 yards receiving in each of his first three sea-sons.

Thomas finished with 12 receptions for 136 yards and a fourth quarter touchdown. Now with 145 receptions on the season, he became the NFL’s single-season catches recordholder. Thomas’ 1,688 receiving yards, which leads the NFL, is the tenth-highest total in league record books.

After giving up the two early touchdowns, the New Orle-ans defense rallied to pick up five sacks and keep the pressure on the Titans offense. When the Titans got the ball back from a failed fake punt attempt late in the fourth quarter at their 38-yard line, rookie S C.J.

THE COACHES

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 138-83 overall record (.624), including an 8-6 postseason mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival in 2006. Payton holds both the club’s top victory total and winning percentage. Payton ranked 26th all-time in NFL record books in victories, fifth among active head coaches. He continues to represent the Saints as the mod-el of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the NFL. Only the Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer than Payton’s 14 seasons in New Orleans. Payton is also one of just seven active NFL head coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), the Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Eagles’ Doug Pederson and the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2018 Saints edition posted a 13-3 regular season record, se-cured the NFC’s number one seed for the postseason and advanced to the NFC Championship for the third time. A franchise-record five players were selected to the AP All-Pro team and a club-best eight members of the team were named to the Pro Bowl. New Orleans’ ten-game winning streak was the second-longest in club history and the long-est run of consecutive victories in the NFL in 2018. The streak only sits behind in club record books, New Orleans’ 13-0 start under Payton in 2009, the season when they captured Super Bowl XLIV. New Orleans ranked third in the NFL in points per game, eighth in total offense and sixth in rushing offense. A stingy run defense ranked sec-ond in both opponent rushing yards per game and oppo-nent rushing yards per play. The 2019 campaign has start-ed with a 11-3 record for the Black and Gold, capturing their third consecutive NFC South title. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA histo-ry. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in September of 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and was raised in Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Perry Fewell was named Carolina's interim head coach on December 3, 2019. Fewell has 34 years of coaching experience, including 21 in the NFL, and spent the past two seasons as secondary coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-18). In the last two seasons, the Jaguars allowed just 182.2 passing yards per game which led the NFL. Jacksonville recorded 32 interceptions in 2017-18, tied for fifth in the NFL, while holding opposing quarterbacks to a 76.4 passer rating, best in the NFL. Fewell spent the previ-ous two seasons with the Washington Redskins (2015-16)

as the team’s defensive backs coach. Prior to the Red-skins, Fewell spent five seasons as the defensive coordina-tor of the New York Giants, a stint that included a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. In Fewell’s five seasons in New York from 2010-14, his unit amassed 160 takeaways, the second-most in the NFC and third-most in the NFL. During the team’s Super Bowl cam-paign in 2011, the Giants were fourth in the NFL in both takeaways (35) and turnover differential (plus-14). In four postseason victories that year, the Giants allowed an aver-age of 14.0 points per game, joining the 2000 Baltimore Ravens as the only teams since the turn of the century to allow 14 or fewer points per game in a postseason run re-quiring all four rounds. From 2006-09, Fewell spent four seasons as the Buffalo Bills’ defensive coordinator. He was the team’s interim head coach for the final seven games of the 2009 season. Fewell coached defensive backs for the Chicago Bears in 2005. That Bears team led the NFC with 24 interceptions. Fewell had previously served as second-ary coach of the St. Louis Rams from 2003-04. Fewell en-tered the NFL as the defensive backs coach for the Jagu-ars in 1998, a position he held through the 2002 season. Prior to entering the NFL, Fewell spent 13 years coaching at the collegiate level. Fewell spent three seasons at Van-derbilt where he coached the secondary from 1995-97 and was also the assistant head coach in his final season there. In 1992, he returned to Army for a second stint, where he spent three seasons as the defensive line coach. For four seasons at Kent State from 1988-91, Fewell spent his only time in his career coaching on the offensive side of the ball as he served as the wide receivers coach. Prior to Kent State, Fewell served as defensive backs coach at the U.S. Military Academy in 1987. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at North Carolina from 1985-86.

WEEK 1: New Orleans Saints 30, Houston Texans 28; September 9, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – After a rough start and trailing by as much as 11 points at halftime, the Saints pulled off a thrilling 30-28 comeback victory, complete with six sacks, an S Marcus Williams pick, a balanced offense and a 58-yard field goal as time expired.

In the Monday night opener, QB Drew Brees finished with 370 passing yards, two touchdowns and a 105.8 rating. WR Michael Thomas topped the receiving corps with 123 yards on ten receptions. WR Ted Ginn Jr. added seven receptions for 101 yards and a 41-yard grab. RB Alvin Kamara led the team in rushing with 97 yards on 13 carries and had seven receptions for 72 yards. Latavius Murray carried the ball six times for 43 yards with a 30-yard touchdown.

The rough start began with an unproductive first offensive drive for New Orleans followed by a series where Texans OLB Whitney Mercilus picked off a Brees pass intended for Murray at the Houston four-year line. Houston QB Deshaun Watson then engineered a seven-play, 94-yard drive that ended with a 21-yard rushing touchdown by the third-year signal-caller. New Orleans’ offense wouldn’t remain score-less for long though as K Wil Lutz drilled a 32-yard field goal. The Texans then extended the lead to 14-3 on a two-yard touchdown from Watson to WR Deandre Hopkins.

The Saints got the ball first in the third quarter and scored their first touchdown of 2019 and moved within four on Murray’s scoring run. But the Texans answered with a 16-yard touchdown connection from Watson to Hopkins. How-ever on New Orleans’ next possession, the Saints an-swered back with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Brees to QB Taysom Hill, followed up by Williams’ pick.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, New Orleans took their first lead of the night when Brees connected with WR Tre’Quan Smith on a 14-yard touchdown. Following an-other Lutz field goal, the Texans answered when Watson found Texans WR Kenny Stills for a 37-yard touchdown reception with 37 seconds left.

Brees then completed three quick passes and spiked the ball twice. After New Orleans used their final timeout, Lutz, who missed a 56-yard field goal near the end of the first half, connected on a career-long 58-yard field goal as time expired to give the Saints the win. For his last-second hero-ics, saints head coach Sean Payton awarded Lutz with a game ball.

Lutz was perfect on all three point after tries, and drove all five of his kickoffs out for touchbacks. It was New Orleans’ first season opening victory since 2013.

WEEK 2: Los Angeles Rams 27, New Orleans Saints 9; September 15, 2019 @ Los Angeles Veterans Memorial Coliseum – New Orleans struggled to put together con-sistent drives on offense and despite a gritty defensive ef-fort, struggled on offense when both Drew Brees and Ted-dy Bridgewater quarterbacked the team after Brees was sidelined with a right thumb injury that would require surgery and sideline him for five subsequent contests. After struggling with penalties, the Saints offense was unable to overcome that on third down, finishing just 4-of-13 on their third down attempts.

Following an interception by Rams safety John Johnson, Los Angeles capped their first drive, a seven-play 3:43 mi-nute drive with a 24-yard field goal by kicker Greg Zuerlein to get on the scoreboard first, a lead they would never re-linquish. . After a second unsuccessful series by the Saints offense, Brees was forced to leave the game with a thumb injury. However, the Rams offense was unable to score on their next three offensive drives, as a sack by defensive end Cameron Jordan ended one and a fumble recovery by the All-Pro end the other. On the Saints’ first possession of the second quarter, powered by a 19-yard punt return by wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris, kicker Wil Lutz connected on a 30-yard field goal to put the Saints on the board. Following a failed fourth down attempt by the Saints and a subsequent 20-yard run by Rams running back Todd Gurley, Zuerlein converted a 22-yard field goal at the end of the first half. Besides a pair of field goals, the Saints offense wasn't able to get going in the second half and the Rams used an four-yard touchdown run by Gurley and a two-yard touchdown connection between quarter-back Jared Goff and wide receiver Brandin Cooks to ex-tend the lead.

WEEK 3: New Orleans Saints 33, Seattle Seahawks 27; September 22, 2019 @ CenturyLink Field – Running back Alvin Kamara powered the New Orleans offensive attack, grinding out 161 total yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns stake the Saints to a 33-27 victory to im-prove to 2-1. The Saints defense and special teams did the rest, stopping four fourth down conversions and dominating the kicking game, while creating 13 points.

Kamara rushed for 69 yards and caught nine passes for 92 yards, scoring touchdowns on the ground and through the air. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, starting in place of an injured Drew Brees, completed 19-of-27 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 112.7 passer rating as the Saints garnered their first road win of 2019.

While the Saints defense surrendered 515 total net yards, they made stops or big plays at the most opportune times, including stopping four fourth down attempts for the first time since at Jacksonville on Oct. 2, 2011. Seattle run-ning backs only accounted for 58 yards on 19 carries, while cornerback Eli Apple forced Seahawks running back Chris Carson to fumble in the second quarter and it was picked up by safety Vonn Bell, returned 33 yards for a touchdown.

Special teams also played an important role in the victory in several facets. Early in the first quarter, rookie wide re-ceiver/return specialist Deonte Harris returned a punt 53 yards for a touchdown to give New Orleans a 7-0 lead. Punter Thomas Morstead and the club’s coverage units were dominant in the kicking game as the special teams captain punted six times for 324 yards for a 54.0 gross punting average and a 52.0 net.

It marked the first time New Orleans won a game without scoring a touchdown since an Oct. 25, 1998 9-3 victory over Tampa Bay.

The Saints won the coin toss and deferred receiving until the second half of the contest. After the Cowboys punted following their first offensive possession, Dallas took ad-vantage of an interception off a bobbled ball by wide re-ceiver Ted Ginn Jr. and took possession at their 46-yard line. Dallas jumped out to a 3-0 lead compliments of a 28-yard field goal by kicker Brett Maher.

New Orleans then forced a quick three-and-out, Har-ris returned the punt to the Saints 49-yard line and Lutz hit a 42-yard field goal to give New Orleans the edge. A poten-tial score was averted when on a completion from Cow-boys quarterback Dak Prescott to tight end Jason Witten, linebacker A.J. Klein punched the ball out and it was recov-ered by safety Vonn Bell. Towards the end of the quarter, Bell forced a fumble by Cowboys running back Ezekiel El-liott and recovered it, setting the stage for a 19-yard field goal by Lutz and a 9-3 Saints halftime lead.

Midway through the third quarter, Prescott completed a pass for a 35-yard gain to tight end Blake Jarwin, that set up a one-yard rushing touchdown by Elliott to give the Dal-las a 10-9 lead.

Between the third and fourth quarters, quarterback Ted-dy Bridgewater drove the offense 67 yards in 15 plays on a drive that lasted 9:06 and Lutz drilled a 26-yard field goal for the lead. New Orleans held on for the win with de-fensive tackle David Onyemata dropping Prescott for a 11-yard loss and safety Marcus Williams picking him off on the final play of the contest to seal the victory.

Week 5: New Orleans Saints 31, Tampa Bay Bucca-neers 24; October 6, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Super-dome – New Orleans put together one of their more com-plete games as they recorded a victory over their NFC South divisional rivals in the start of their 2019 division slate.

After gaining three first downs on their first possession, New Orleans was forced to punt. However, on Tampa Bay’s next offensive possession, the Saints defense would force a three-and-out and a punt. Starting the ensuing drive on their own 36-yard line, Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater would lead a nine-play, 53-yard drive that culminated in a Wil Lutz 29-yard field goal to give the Saints the early lead. Two possession later, after Buccaneers cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting picked off Bridgewater after a ball bounced off of wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., Quarterback Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay offense would take advantage of great field position as he would find wide receiver Chris Godwin for a 26-yard touchdown to take a 7-3 lead.

On the next Saints offensive possession, they’d regain the lead, with Bridgewater connecting with wide receiver Michael Thomas on a 14-yard touchdown. Tampa Bay kicker Matt Gay connected on a 42-yard field goal to tie the score in the contest again. But the Saints took the lead back with 37 seconds left in the first half when Bridgewater and tight end Jared Cook connected for a nine-yard touch-down.

The Saints then got the ball coming out of the second half and Bridgewater connected on a 42-yard completion to Thomas and then two plays later found Ginn for a 33-yard touchdown. The Buccaneers struck back by going on a 17-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a two-yard touchdown run by running back Peyton Barber to put the Buccaneers back within seven points. Near the end of the third quarter, the Saints were pinned back at their nine on third-and-ten and Bridgewater found Thomas for a 20-yard completion to keep a crucial drive alive.

The drive would stay alive in the fourth quarter, eventually going for 13-plays and 91 yards as Bridgewater found Thomas for a nine-yard touchdown, as the signal-caller tied his career-high for scoring throws. The clubs traded three and outs, but then the Saints pass rush became active with three sacks on a single Tampa Bay offensive series to force a punt. The Buccaneers offense would strike again with Godwin hauling in a 26-yard touchdown from Winston to make it a one-score game. But the onside kick attempt went out of bounds to give New Orleans the ball back for a victory formation.

WEEK 6: New Orleans Saints 13, Jacksonville Jaguars 6; October 13, 2019 @ TIAA Bank Field – The Saints won their fourth consecutive game and improved their rec-ord on the season to 5-1, despite missing quarterback Drew Brees for throughout the winning streak defeat-ing Jacksonville in a contest dominated by both defense and special teams, with timely offensive plays mixed in. It marked the first time New Orleans didn’t surrender a touch-down in a contest since a 20-0 shutout of the Miami Dol-phins in London on October 1, 2017.

The Jaguars won the coin toss and deferred to receive until the second half of the contest. The clubs traded punts for each of their first two possessions. New Orleans jumped out to a 3-0 lead compliments of a 47-yard field goal by kicker Wil Lutz. New Orleans took a bend but don’t break approach on a Jacksonville drive midway through the second quarter as Jaguars quarterback Gavin Minshew completed 12– and 22-yard passes to wide receiver D.J. Chark, followed by some nifty runs by running back Leonard Fournette. But the Saints kept the Jaguars out of the end zone at their four-yard line and forced a 22-yard Josh Lambo field goal to close out the only scoring of the first half.

New Orleans recorded the only takeaway of the tightly contested game on the first drive of the second half when cornerback Marshon Lattimore picked off a pass intended for Chark. The Saints would take the lead back on the next drive when Lutz drilled a 21-yard field goal. Midway through the third quarter, Minshew completed a pass for a 23-yard gain to wide receiver Dede Westbrook, that set up a 32-yard Lambo field goal.

Between the third and fourth quarters, New Orleans quarterback Teddy Bridgewater drove the offense 75 yards in 11 plays on a drive that lasted 6:22 and he eventually connected with tight end Jared Cook on a four-yard touch-down pass to put the Saints ahead for good. New Orleans then defended a Jacksonville drive on downs at the Saints 40 and despite a quick three and out, then forced a Jagu-ars punt. The Saints then wouldn’t give the ball back, hold-ing it for the final 6:09 of the contest, converting three first downs.

Bridgewater threw for 240 yards and wide receiver Mi-chael Thomas had eight receptions for 89 yards to hold the National Football League receiving lead. Defensive end Cameron Jordan recorded two sacks to move into a tie with outside linebacker Pat Swilling for third place on the club’s all-time list.

Klein each recorded fumble recoveries, one of which quarterback Teddy Bridgewater converted into a touchdown pass to help New Orleans increase their win-ning streak to five contests with a 36-25 win over the Chi-cago Bears at Soldier Field, the Saints’ fifth consecutive victory over the Bears.

The Saints held Chicago to only 17 rushing yards, the fifth-lowest opponent total in franchise history and kept the Bears run offense from getting a first down for only the fourth time in franchise record books.

The Bears took the lead early in the second quar-ter on Eddy Pineiro’s 46-yard field goal but New Orleans took the lead for good on a 39-yard kick by Wil Lutz, his NFL-record 35th consecutive road field goal. That was the start of 27 unanswered points by New Orleans.

WEEK 8: New Orleans Saints 31, Arizona Cardinals 9; October 27, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints improved to 7-1, powered by an offensive attack that tied a season-high with 510 total net yards, welcomed back by the return of quarterback Drew Brees and a de-fense that did not allow a touchdown for the second time this season and the second time in three weeks.

The Cardinals opened the scoring with 5:41 left in the first quarter when kicker Zane Gonzalez drilled a 31-yard field goal. After Brees connected with quarterback Taysom Hill on a 22-yard completion to set up a 26-yard field goal by kicker Wil Lutz, the Saints would not trail again in the contest where he returned from right thumb surgery that sidelined him for five games.

Midway through the second quarter, running back Lata-

vius Murray, who led the saints in rushing with 102 rushing yards, 157 total yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, scored on an eight-yard rush. On Arizona’s next possession, Gonzalez booted a 31-yard field goal to cut New Orleans’ lead to 10-6.

Midway through the third quarter, after the Saints stopped the Cardinals on a fourth and one attempt at their 30 on a stop for no gain by defensive tackle David Onye-mata, Brees led New Orleans on five-play, 30-yard drive, ending with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Murray, the run-ning back’s first career scoring grab. Brees finished com-pleting 34-of-43 passes for 373 yards with three TDs and one interception with a 116.4 rating.

With the Cardinals in rally mode, trailing 17-9 at the end of the third quarter after a 50-yard field by Gonzalez, Hill caught a five-yard touchdown from Brees at the start of the fourth quarter. On the next play from scrimmage, a Saints team sack, set the Cardinals back to second and 20 at their 15-yard line and would force a punt. plays later, Brees connected for a touchdown for the final time on the after-noon, when he hit wide receiver Michael Thomas for a nine-yard touchdown to seal the win for New Orleans heading into their Week 10 bye.

• A swarming New Orleans defense allowed only 237 net yards and allowed Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to complete only 19-of-33 passes for 222 yards with zero touchdowns and a 77.8 passer rating.

• Brees tossed three touchdowns, giving him 159 career games with at least two touchdown passes, tied with Brett Favre for the third-most such games in NFL history.

• The New Orleans defense held the Cardinals to only 115 total net yards in the first half, while all four Saints sacks occurred in the second half. linebacker Demario Davis led the standout defensive effort with a teams-high eight tack-les (seven solo), while defensive end Cameron Jordan rec-orded two a sack to reach eight takedowns for the midpoint of the season and 79.5 for his career.

WEEK 10: Atlanta Falcons 26, Saints 9; November 10, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – New Orleans’ re-turn to action following a Week Nine bye would be a forget-table one, as they would suffer their first loss after a bye since the 2015 season at the hands of their divisional ri-vals. Despite quarterbacks Drew Brees and Taysom Hill putting up 304 passing yards through the air, safety Marcus Williams intercepting Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris and kick-er Wil Lutz excelling on special teams, 12 penalties and allowing Brees to get sacked six times set New Orleans back.

The two clubs traded field goals to open, as New Orle-ans scored their first points of 2019 on an opening offen-sive drive. However Atlanta scored a touchdown on a 17-play, 75-yard drive that stretched into the second quarter, ending with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to tight end Austin Hooper.

New Orleans was on the verge of getting off the field for a field goal attempt, but three penalties in Saints territory resulted in first downs. The clubs traded punts and then field goals, Atlanta went into halftime with a 13-6 edge.

After trading punts to open the second half, Harris re-turned a punt 19 yards to the Atlanta 38, but a sack of Brees in the red zone forced a third Lutz field goal. Atlanta then chewed 6:12 off the clock on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a ten-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to running back Brian Poole

After New Orleans was forced to punt, Atlanta kicked a field goal, followed by another loss on downs, but the Saints got New life trailing 23-9 midway through the fourth quarter when Williams picked off Ryan. But the Saints failed to execute and had their six-game winning streak snapped.

Wide receiver Michael Thomas enjoyed another stand-out day in what has become another record-setting fourth campaign, grabbing a season-high 13 passes for 152 yards. He became the fastest player to 400 receptions in his 56th career game and no player has matched his 401 catches through their first four seasons. Leading the NFL in both receiving and receiving yardage with 86 grabs for 1,027 yards with four touchdowns. He also moved into fourth place in club record books with his 14th career 100-yard receiving game

Williams’ pick was his team-leading third of the season and he is currently tied for fifth in the league in in-terceptions. linebacker Demario Davis led a Saints de-fense ranked fifth in the NFL with a game-high 11 tackles and their only sack.

WEEK 11: Saints 34, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17; No-vember 17, 2019 @ Raymond James Stadium – Vonn Bell, Demario Davis, Marcus Williams and P.J. Williams each recorded interceptions, one of which Marcus Williams brought back 55 yards for a touchdown and an efficient offense and special teams helped New Orleans rebound from a Week 10 loss to get their first season sweep of Tampa Bay since 2014.

Running back Alvin Kamara posted 154 all purpose yards including 13 carries for 75 yards (5.8 avg.), ten re-ceptions for 47 yards and a 27-yard punt return to set up a touchdown. Quarterback Drew Brees completed 28-of-35 (80.0%) of his passes for 228 yards with three touchdowns,

zero interceptions and a 122.4 passer rating, while the New Orleans offensive line kept his jersey clean. Wide receiver Michael Thomas posted eight receptions for 114 yards with one touchdown as he became the first player in Na-tional Football League history to have 90 catches in each of his first four seasons. Tight end Jared Cook had a 30-yard grab and a three-yard touchdown.

In addition to the four picks, the Saints defense surren-dered only 36 rushing yards on the day and defensive end Cameron Jordan posted 1.5 sacks.

• Linebacker Demario Davis tied for a team lead with six tackles, had his first regular season interception as a Saint and a career-high four passes defensed.

• P.J. Williams started in place of an injured Marshon Lat-timore and posted his first interception of the season to go with three solo tackles.

• Linebacker Kiko Alonso led the team with six solo tackles and deflected the pass intercepted by Bell at the end of the first half.

WEEK 12: Saints 34, Carolina Panthers 31; November 24, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – QB Drew Brees, WR Michael Thomas and K Wil Lutz celebrated a decisive string of late-game successes that put New Or-leans on the cusp of a third straight NFC South crown. The Panthers could only lament the first-and-goal they squandered just moments earlier in a third straight loss. Lutz kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired, and New Orleans beat Carolina 34-31 on Sunday to take a four-game lead in the NFC South with five games left. “It’s exciting. It’s butterflies. But also, it’s confidence,” said Brees, who led the Saints from their own 14-yard line with 1:51 left to the Carolina 15 with three seconds remain-ing. “It’s unity. You feel like everybody knows the challenge ahead. Everybody knows what we need to do in order to accomplish whatever it is we need to accomplish to go win the game. Everybody just kind of locks in and goes.” Lutz’s second game-winning kick this season capped a contest filled with late momentum shifts and critical errors — none bigger than Carolina K Joey Slye’s missed field goal from 28 yards with 2 minutes left. Carolina trailed from early in the first quarter until 9:23 remained in the fourth quarter, when D.J. Moore reached up with his right hand to corral a fourth-and-goal pass in the back of the end zone to tie it at 31. Soon after, Panthers S Eric Reid stuffed RB Alvin Kama-ra on fourth-and-1 from the New Orleans 45. That set up a dramatic sequence in which Carolina head coach Ron Ri-vera successfully challenged officials’ decision not to call pass interference on a third-down incomplete pass, giving Carolina a first down on the 3 with 2:21 left. Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey’s run was stuffed, QB Kyle Allen threw incomplete on second down and Allen was sacked on third down by Saints DE Marcus Davenport, setting the stage for the end of a difficult day for Slye, who’d also missed two extra-point kicks.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-WEEK 12 VS. CAROLINA “I feel terrible,” Slye said. “We needed this win.” Brees finished 30 of 39 for 311 yards and three touch-downs, but also was intercepted by Panthers S Tre Boston, a play that helped Carolina come back in the fourth quarter. Thomas had 10 catches for 101 yards and a touchdown for New Orleans (9-2), including receptions of 14 and 24 yards on the game-winning drive as he posted 100 receptions for the third consecutive season and became the first Saint with five straight contests of at least 100 receiving yards. “We work that situation week in and week out and it al-ways comes up to benefit us,” Thomas said of the Saints’ hurry-up offense. “I’m just grateful for not cheating the preparation.” Allen passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns for Carolina (5-6). “It is incredibly frustrating,” Allen said. “Some weeks it’s been offense, some weeks it’s been defense. We’ve just got to put it together and play a complete game.” McCaffrey had 133 yards and two touchdowns from scrimmage on a balance of runs and receptions. Moore had six catches for 126 yards and two TDs, the first a 51-yarder. Saints TE Jared Cook had six catches for 99 yards, in-cluding a 20-yard touchdown, and RB Latavius Murray scored the game’s first touchdown on a 26-yard run. WEEK 13: Saints 26, Atlanta Falcons 18; November 28, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Stadium – The Saints have clinched the NFC South division title with a 26-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving night This marks the third consecutive season that the Saints have won the NFC South, the best such streak in franchise history. The Saints' victory over the Falcons avenged a humbling setback against Atlanta in Week 10, a 26-9 loss at home that ended a six-game winning streak for New Orle-ans. The Falcons made the Saints sweat it out late, making a frenzied late-game comeback attempt. The Falcons were successful on consecutive onside kicks. The first success-ful onside kick came after a touchdown trimmed the Saints' lead to 26-15, and led to a Younghoe Koo's field goal that made it a one-possession game. However, the Falcons couldn't capitalize on the second successful onside kick. The drive was thwarted at midfield as Cameron Jordan sacked Matt Ryan on fourth down to end the comeback threat. “We had to drop back and pass at the end of the game,” Ryan said. “When you do that and there’s really no threat of run, it’s tough sledding, particularly when you’re going against a good defense, a very good defensive line and one of the better pass rushers in the game in Cam Jordan.” Taysom Hill had quite a game. He blocked a punt. That led to the Saints' first touchdown, which was scored by Hill. He later ran for a touchdown on a third-and-1 play late in the second quarter. “When you have guys like Mike Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, the list goes on, it kind of creates opportunities for little old me because it creates so much attention that’s put on those guys,” Hill said.

WEEK 14: San Francisco 49ers 48, Saints 46; Decem-ber 8, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints took the 49ers, who now have the NFC’s best record (11-2), to the limit before dropping a 48-46 heartbreaker at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. 49ers kicker Robbie Gould;s 30-yard field goal as time expired was the difference. After New Orleans jumped out to a 27-14 second quarter lead in scoring touchdowns on their first four offensive possessions, San Francisco took their first lead of the game into halftime at 28-27. After New Orleans regained the lead for a short time in the second half, the 49ers kept the edge for the majority of the third and fourth quarters until QB Drew Brees engineered a sev-en-play, 76-yard drive with an 18-yard touchdown pass to WR Tre’Quan Smith with 53 seconds left. But San Francis-co rallied as 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo led a seven-play, 63-yard drive to set up the win keyed by a 39-yard comple-tion to TE George Kittle on fourth-and-two to set up the game-winner. WEEK 15: Saints 34, Indianapolis Colts 7; December 16, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – Drew Brees trotted along the sideline holding his helmet and a Hall of Fame-bound ball in his left hand while using his right hand to wave and blow kisses to an adoring Mercedes-Benz Su-perdome crowd. Another milestone, another memory, for an undersized and once underestimated player who has broken just about every significant record a quarterback can break — and doesn’t look anywhere near done at age 40. Brees became the NFL’s all-time leader in touchdown passes, throwing for four scores to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 34-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Mon-day night. “It was special, everything about the night,” Brees said. “It just kind of makes your whole life and career flash before your eyes, because I never thought I’d have a chance to be part of something like this.” The scoring strike that broke Peyton Manning’s record of 539 career touchdown passes came in the third quarter, when Brees hit tight end Josh Hill for a 5-yard score. Brees’ next pass in the game was the 541st scoring toss of his career, a 28-yarder to reserve QB and utility player Taysom Hill that put the Saints up 34-0. “He’s done that to a lot of defenses,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “When he gets like that. I don’t know that any-body can stop him.” Now in his 19th season, the 6-foot Brees — a 2001 second-round draft choice — came into the game already holding NFL records for completions with 6,792 and yards passing with 72,577. He built on those numbers while also setting a record for completion percentage in a game. He completed 29 of 30 passes — 96.7% — for 307 yards before being relieved by Teddy Bridgewater in the fourth quarter. That broke the mark Philip Rivers had held since completing 28 of 29 (96.6%) against Arizona last season. “He had a hot hand, obviously,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “Guys were making plays, but that’s awfully difficult to do.” The victory kept the Saints (11-3), who’d already won the NFC South, in the running with Seattle (11-3), San Francis-co (11-3) and Green Bay (11-3) for one of the top two seeds in the NFC playoffs.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-WEEK 15 VS. INDIANAPOLIS The Colts (6-8) were eliminated from playoff contention after losing their fourth straight and sixth out of seven. They were also left struggled to explain their lack of com-petitiveness in a game they needed to win. “I wish I knew all the answers,” Colts LB Darius Leonard said. “I hate losing more than I love winning.” Jacoby Brissett struggled at times with accuracy and fin-ished 18 of 34 for 165 yards against a Saints defense look-ing for redemption after allowing 48 points in a loss to the 49ers a week earlier. Meanwhile, Colts defenders had no answer for Saints WR Michael Thomas, who caught 12 passes for 128 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown. Thomas’ eighth game this season with at least 10 catches give him 133 for the sea-son, which is also the fourth-highest single-season total in NFL history. With four more catches, Thomas will pass Antonio Brown and Julio Jones for second most in a season. He needs 11 to eclipse Marvin Harrison’s record of 143 from 2002. Tre’Quan Smith caught a 21-yard touchdown pass for New Orleans. Jordan Wilkins scored the Colts’ lone TD on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.

FLUID RECORD

While Brees holds the career touchdown pass record for now, the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady is only three behind at 538. “It’s a fluid record,” Payton said. “There’s still another quar-terback in New England, so that will go back and forth as long as those two are playing.” The next-closest active player is Rivers with 395. Brees wasn’t about to underestimate Brady’s ability to keep pace. “He’s such a stud. He’s got a lot of rings and records,” Brees said of Brady. “He’s awesome.”

HAILING HILL

Brees said the ball with which he threw his record-breaking TD would go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and also sounded particularly pleased by who caught it. “I love the fact it was Josh Hill,” Brees said, noting that Hill made the team as an undrafted rookie in 2013 and has been reliable both on offense and special teams ever since. “The epitome of a great teammate, kind of an unsung he-ro,” Brees said. “He’s done an unbelievable job. I have so much trust and confidence in him.”

WEEK 16: Saints 34, Tennessee Titans 28; December 22, 2019 @ Nissan Stadium – The Saints, behind a bal-anced offense, a record-breaking performance from WR Michael Thomas and a rebound by a defense that faced early schedules knocked down the Titans, 38-28. With the win, the Saints reached 12 wins for the second consecutive season for the first time in franchise history and gained

ground in the race for a first-round postseason bye.

After falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter and experi-encing some early struggles on offense, New Orleans scored touchdowns on four consecutive full possessions in the second and third quarters. QB Drew Brees completed 27-of-38 passes for 279 yards, with 11 of his throws and a 20-yard completion from QB Taysom Hill going into the hands of Thomas, who set the NFL single-season record for receptions, standing at 145 by the end of the contest. His catches went for 136 yards and one touchdown as his 1,688 yards are the tenth-highest total in league record books. The New Orleans running game was led by RB Al-vin Kamara, who carried 11 times for 80 yards (7.3 avg.) on the day.

A hard-hitting New Orleans defense finished with five sacks, including a career-high two by LB A.J. Klein. When the Titans got the ball back from a failed fake punt attempt late in the fourth quarter at their 38-yard line, rookie S C.J. Gardner-Johnson tackled Tennessee WR Kalif Ray-mond, forced the football out and returned it 37 yards to the Titans 25-yard line in what would lead to New Orle-ans’ final touchdown to seal the win.

• Linebacker Demario Davis led the team with a game-high 11 tackles and a sack as he reached the century mark in stops for the second consecutive season.

• CB P.J. Williams moved to the safety position after Mar-cus Williams was forced to depart with a groin injury midway through the contest, playing the position for the first time since high school.

• WR/RS Deonte Harris, fresh off being the first Saints rookie to be signed as an undrafted free agent to be select-ed to the Pro Bowl, sparked the New Orleans return game, bringing back four kickoffs for a career-high 150 yards (37.5 avg.), including a 470-yard runback and also brought back four punts for 21 yards for a career-high 171 all-purpose yards.

TAKING CARE OF THE BALL

Ball security’s been of utmost importance for New Orleans in 2019, as their eight giveaways are the fewest in the NFL. The 2019 Saints have lost only two fumbles and if they don’t cough up the ball in the regular season finale vs. Car-olina, they will tie an NFL record with the 2002 Kansas City Chiefs and 2014 Minnesota Vikings for the fewest lost fum-bles.

PAYTON’S PLACE AMONG HEAD COACHES

Sean Payton has had an impressive run as head coach of the New Orleans Saints for the last 14 seasons since being hired in 2006.

After the team had captured only two division titles prior to 2006, the club has six under Payton, including three straight NFC South titles from 2017-19, the first time the club won their division in consecutive seasons. The fran-chise has had 14 winning seasons overall in its 53-season history, eight happening under Payton’s watch including the 2019 11-3 mark. Payton has the highest winning per-centage (.624) and most wins (138) among the 16 Saints head coaches, also ranked 26th all-time in NFL record books, fifth among active head coaches.

Payton’s the only coach in Saints history with double-digit win totals in eight seasons, including the 2019 12-3 mark.

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft, free agency and trade to the 2019 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 National Football League Scouting Combine. He has opened 70 regular season games for New Orleans and six postseason contests and has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons.

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 17 contests for Minnesota. The North Carolina native signed with New Orleans to provide interior depth and has started the last five contests at left guard in place of an injured Andrus Peat, the past four con-tests where the Saints have surrendered only three quar-terback takedown.

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 five seasons, Peat’s played in 61 games with 56 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2018, he opened 12 regular season contests at left guard and one at left tackle and both postseason games at left guard as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time. He’s opened nine contests at left guard in 2019.

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 Associated Press All-Pro selection at right tackle in 2018, not missing an offensive snap in both postseason contests and all 15 regular games at the right tackle position that he played in where he is now a cornerstone. Ramczyk has opened all 15 games in 2019 to serve as a dominating bookend to Armstead.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-HOLDING THE LINE

Center Erik McCoy - New Orleans traded up in the sec-ond 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 was the first Saint in franchise history to start at center in Week One, as he has able replaced the retired Max Unger, opening all 15 contests.

Right Guard Larry Warford - Originally selected by De-troit in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft (65th overall) out of Kentucky, this seventh-year blocker brought size, strength and foot quickness to the Saints’ line in 2017, as he started all 14 regular season games he played in and both postseason contests at right guard. New Orleans’ rush offense responded to his addition, as the ground game finished fifth in the NFL as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. In 2018, Warford opened the first 15 games of the season and both postsea-son contests for the NFL’s sixth ranked rushing offense and third-ranked scoring club, as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive season. Warford has opened 14 contests this season.

Center/Guard Will Clapp - A technically proficient player, who through the combination of size, strength and intelligence, was a three-year starter on the LSU offensive line, starting all 36 games that he appeared in (13 at cen-ter, 12 at left guard, 11 at right guard), earning first-team All-SEC honors at guard and center. Blocking for 1,000-yard rushers in each of his three college seasons, the for-mer Brother Martin standout settled in at center in 2017, where he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a Rim-ington Trophy finalist. Clapp made his first career start at left guard in the 2018 regular season finale. After his first full offseason in the club’s offseason strength and condi-tioning program, Clapp will provide depth on the interior of the Saints line and has also served as a jumbo tight end, seeing significant action as the club’s sixth offensive line-man in each contest as well as at left and right guard.

Tackle/Guard Patrick Omameh - Originally signed by San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in 2013, this for-mer Michigan standout has played in 78 games with 57 starts in the regular season and three playoff starts at both tackle and guard for five different teams, possessing the flexibility to play either inside or outside. Omameh played at left tackle in three quarters of the Oct. 24 win over Caro-lina following an ankle injury to Armstead and then opened the Thanksgiving night victory at Atlanta, where the Black and Gold did not give up a takedown.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last five NFL Drafts from 2015-19, New Orleans has shown a commitment to improving the defense, spending 17-of-28 picks on that side of the ball. With nine picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Saints picked six defen-sive players, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine defensive players in a 12-round selection meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the players selected by New Orleans from 2015-19 on the 53-man roster:

Linebacker Stephone Anthony, Clemson (D1-15) - Se-lected in the first round (31st overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Clemson, Anthony was a consensus All-Rookie se-lection when he led the Black and Gold with 144 tackles. Following a two season stint in Miami, Anthony has re-turned to contribute on both defense and on special teams.

Safety Vonn Bell, Ohio State (D2b-16) - Selected in the second round (61st overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, Bell was a consensus All-American. As a sen-ior, the Rossville, Ga. native was a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist after recording 65 tackles, two interceptions, one brought back for a touchdown, a fumble recovery and 11 passes defensed. Bell has translated that collegiate success to the NFL with ease in his first four seasons, ap-pearing in 61 games with 45 starts and filling up the stat sheet with 349 tackles (241 solo), eight sacks, 16 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and seven fumble recov-eries, one brought back for a touchdown. In Weeks 3 and 4, Bell became the first Saint to post three takeaways in two weeks since 2017, recovering three fumbles, including returning one 33 yards for a touchdown at Seattle, Sept. 22 and recovering two in the second quarter of a 12-10 win over Dallas, Sept. 29, to go with a club-best ten tackles, a pass defensed and forcing one of the two fumbles that he recovered. He’s posted a secondary-best 86 stops, a pick, 1.5 sacks, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles and five recoveries, first in the NFL. Bell’s five recoveries are the most by a Saint since Sammy Knight’s five in 2001. Bell recorded his first career pick in the Nov. 17 win at Tampa Bay.

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 for New Orleans 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 touch-downs. Gardner-Johnson has appeared in all 15 contests with six starts, recording 44 tackles (34 solo), one intercep-tion, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble, one fum-ble recovery and three special teams stops.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Defensive End Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic (D3c-17) - This third round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (103rd overall) out of Florida Atlantic brought his raw talent, size, strength and speed to a youthful Saints defensive line. Hendrickson is ranked third on the team with a career-high 4.5 sacks.

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 receiv-ers. He played a critical role in the pass defense unit as a rookie, as he moved into the lineup immediately. 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 Defen-sive Rookie of the Year. His five takeaways (two intercep-tions and three fumble recoveries) in 2018 led the team, adding two more picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win. In the Sept. 22 win at Seattle, Lattimore led New Orleans with a career-high 12 tackles (career-high ten solo). In the Sept. 29 win over Dallas, he covered Dallas WR Amari Cooper who managed only five receptions for 48 yards and in the Oct. 6 win vs. Tampa Bay, WR Mike Evans didn’t manage a catch, adding a pick Oct. 13 at Jacksonville. For his ef-forts, Lattimore was recognized by being selected to his second Pro Bowl.

Defensive Tackle David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becom-ing the first player from the University of Manitoba to be drafted into the NFL. Despite being new to football, the 2016 fourth round draft pick became a critical member on the interior of the Saints defensive front in 2017, playing in all 16 games with six starts, making 40 tackles and two sacks. Onyemata had a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2018, including a single-game career best three takedowns in last year’s matchup at Dallas, adding another fourth quar-ter takedown against the Cowboys, Sept. 29. Onyemata has provided a punch for the Saints defense, having start-ed all 14 games that he has played in and recording 31 stops and three sacks to tie for fourth on the team, while being a key run-stopping cog to the NFL’s fifth-ranked rush defense.

Safety Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at the University of Utah, Williams was twice named

All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a jun-ior when he tied for second in the conference with five in-terceptions. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the football. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in as he made 70 tackles, four intercep-tions and six passes defensed, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in the postseason. In 2019, he’s played in all 15 games with 14 starts, posting 52 tack-les (35 solo), the team-high four picks, tied for eighth in the NFL, 13 passes defensed, a forced fumble and two cover-age stops.

Cornerback P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Wil-liams’ career was initially limited by missing all but two games his first two seasons with injuries, but he’s rebound-ed to miss only one game since. An experienced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners, he has made 41 stops, a sack, an inter-ception, three passes defensed and one special teams stop, serving as the team’s nickel corner for the second straight season. In Sunday’s win at Tennessee, Williams further showed his versatility by making the switch to safe-ty after Marcus Williams was forced to depart with a groin injury, seeing extensive action at the position for the first time since high school in a 38-28 win.

STOPPING THE RUN

In rush defense, the Saints gave up only 80.2 net yards per game in 2018, second in the National Football League after giving up 129.4 per game in 2017. The 2019 Saints are ranked fifth in the NFL in opponent rushing yards per game (94.7). If the Saints finish in the top five in rush de-fense in 2019, it will mark only the second time they will have done so in back-to back seasons in franchise history, joining the 1986—1987 teams

FOURTH DOWN DEFENSE

In the Sept. 22 33-27 win at Seattle, the Saints allowed the Seahawks to convert on fourth down attempts only once in five tries, stopping them four times. This marked the first time the Saints stopped an opponent on fourth down four times since a 23-10 win at Jacksonville, October 2, 2011. In the Oct. 13 win at Jacksonville, a fourth quarter fourth down stop at the New Orleans 40-yard line on fourth-and-two put New Orleans in the drivers seat.

SACK ATTACK

After tying the franchise record with nine sacks on Thanks-giving night at Atlanta, led by a career-high four from DE Cameron Jordan, who tied the franchise career-best, the Saints are currently timed for third in the NFL in quarter-back takedowns. With 49 sacks currently, with their next takedown, the Saints will be looking to have 50 sacks for the ninth time in franchise history and for the first time since 2001.

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 who use their feet often make the difference between winning and losing, drilling clutch field goals or flipping the field with a well-executed punt.

K Wil Lutz went undrafted in 2016, joining the Baltimore Ravens for training camp. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lutz joined the Black and Gold and immediately took on placekicking and kickoff duties. Lutz has kicked in 63 games, converting 119-of-136 field goal attempts (87.5 percent) and 190-of-196 PATs. He’s also recorded 239 touchbacks on 368 career kickoffs. His 87.5 percent field

goal percentage is best among kickers with at least 50 made field goals in team history. Until the 2018 regular season finale, he’d kicked a field goal in a club-record 36 consecutive games, second-longest streak in NFL history

With his first field goal on October 20 at Chicago, Lutz set the National Football League record for consecutive field goals on the road (35).

Thomas Morstead was the first punter drafted by the Saints since 1984. The club’s fifth round draft choice (164th overall) in 2009 from SMU, Morstead’s been a weapon in the field position game with his strong leg, outstanding placement abilities and booming kickoffs. In 11 seasons, he has a gross average of 46.8 on 619 punts with a 41.5 net and 224 punts inside the 20-yard line, while also booming 259 kickoffs in the end zone for touchbacks. Morstead is ranked eighth on the club’s all-time games played list with 172 regular season appearances and his consistency car-ried over to 2018, where he averaged a 46.4 gross punting average, a career-high and league-best 43.2 net punting average, with 15 dropped inside-the-20-yard line.

SWISS ARMY KNIFE

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

In 2019, Hill has appeared in every contest, carrying 25 times for 152 yards (6.1 avg.) with one touchdown, catch-ing 18 passes for 189 yards with five touchdowns, deflect-ing a punt, returning one kickoff for 12 yards and posting two coverage stops. Hill is tied on the club in total touch-downs and ranked third in receiving touchdowns, after a multi-threat performance on Thanksgiving night at Atlanta, when he deflected a punt and caught and rushed for a touchdown. Hill became the first NFL quarterback to both rush for and catch a touchdown in the same contest since Chicago’s Jim McMahon in 1983, who also played at Brigham Young.

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led the past three seasons by linebacker Craig Robertson, Hill and defensive back 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 in the regular season with a career-high ten stops, with Hill ranked second with six stops. He hass posted five tackles in 2019.

Robertson also made a big play in the November 4, 2018 win over Los Angeles when he stopped rams holder John-ny Hecker short of the first down marker on a fake field goal attempt. He did the same December 23 vs. Pittsburgh in a crucial fourth quarter situation to snuff out a fake punt attempt. Robertson has five special teams stops in 2019.

In another addition to the club’s special teams units, sec-ond-year defensive back J.T. Gray leads the team with 14 special teams stops, (ten solo) and has blocked a punt and recovered a fumble on a muffed punt.

RETURN UNITS

Rookie wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris has made an impact on New Orleans’ return game. Harris was signed following the NFL Draft out of NCAA Division II As-sumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he finished his college career as one of the most prolific return-ers in NCAA history. In the final game of his college career, he set the NCAA-All Division record for career combined return touchdowns (14).

In 2019, Harris has brought back 34 punts for 319 yards (9.4 avg.), ranked first in the NFC and third in the National Football in punt return average, ranked first among rookies, following a 53-yard runback for a touchdown in the first quarter of the Sept. 22 33-27 win at Seattle.

Harris has also returned 24 kickoffs for 644 yards (26.8 avg.), ranked second in the NFC and third in the NFL and has recorded one special teams stop. On Sunday at Ten-nessee, Harris had a standout performance in the kickoff return game, brining back four kicks for 150 yards, including a 47-yard runback.

On offense Harris has 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.

TEDDY BRIDGEWATER

• With Drew Brees sidelined following thumb surgery, sixth-year veteran Bridgewater’s taken over the reigns of the offense. Bridgewater began his NFL career with the Vikings as the 32nd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. He moved into the starters role in Week Four of his rookie season and went on to be selected the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year, lead-ing the Vikings to the NFC North title the following season with a Pro Bowl selection. Overall, he has played in 42 games with 34 starts, completing 697-of-1,069 passes for 7,638 yards with 38 TDs, 25 interceptions and an 88.3 rat-ing. Bridgewater has also carried 125 times for 45 yards with four touchdowns. In 34 career starts, Bridgewater has posted a 22-12 career record in the regular season.

• With starter Brees sidelined following thumb surgery for five games, the Miami native has played in seven games with five starts, completing 132-of-195 attempts (67.7%) for 1,370 yards with nine touchdowns, two interceptions and a 98.9 passer rating, while carrying 20 times for 39 yards and winning all five starts.

• Bridgewater received his first start of 2019 on Sept. 22 at Seattle and completed 19-of-27 passes for 177 yards with touchdown passes to Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, zero interceptions and a 112.7 passer rating. He also car-ried three times for 12 yards in the 33-27 victory. It was Bridgewater’s first win since the 2015 regular season finale.

• Bridgewater quarterbacked New Orleans to its second consecutive win on Sept. 29 vs. Dallas, completing 23-of-30 passes for 193 yards and engineering a 15-play, 67-yard drive that spanned 9:06 and ran into the fourth quar-ter, resulting in a go ahead field goal in rebounding from a 10-9 deficit, completing three-of-four passes for 22 yards. It was his first fourth quarter game-winning drive since a 21-18 win vs. The St. Louis Rams on Nov. 8, 2015.

• Bridgewater earned his 20th victory as a starter and third straight in a 31-24 win over Tampa Bay, Oct. 6, finishing 26-of-34 for 314 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a 131.2 passer rating, the second-highest of his career. It was the second four-touchdown game of Bridgewater’s career as he passed for over 300 yards for the sixth time. Bridgewater’s 42-yard completion to WR Michael Thomas on the first play of the third quarter is his longest comple-tion as a Saint. Joined Billy Kilmer (1969) and Brees as only the third Saints signal caller with 300 yards passing and four touchdown passes in the same contest.

Out of Jordan’s 86 career sacks, the 18 he has posted against Atlanta are the most against an opponent. All 18 are of Falcons QB Matt Ryan, with the 18 takedowns he has of the Atlanta signal-caller, the most by an NFL player against a signal-caller since sacks were first recognized as an official statistic in 1982. Jordan has posted seven sacks against this week’s opponent Carolina, including one multi-sack effort in 2013.

Jordan has posted 86 career sacks and over the past nine seasons is only the second player, joining Houston’s J.J. Watt to have 85 takedowns and 45 passes defensed. Dur-ing this time, the Saints own a 42-16 regular season record when he corrals a signal-caller, and they boast a 19-2 mark in a multi-sack performance in the regular season after the Thanksgiving night win at Atlanta, where he tied the club single-game record with a career-high four takedowns. De-spite the advantage of playing at home on defense, all four of Jordan’s multi-sack performances in 2019 have taken place on the road.

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON (opening statement) It was good to get a win be it we started off slow, did a few things to get that momentum shifted. Special teams gave us some good returns today, and offensively we got going, and I think we played a lot better in the second quarter and better in the second half. It was a good win to get on the road against a good football team we played today. (on Saints running back Alvin Kamara’s performance today) He’s playing well and he is doing an outstanding job. It was a great check by Drew (Brees), that one play, his first touchdown, was an audible. I think more than anything else, it is just to continue to find the spots that we feel like he does well, and there’s a lot of them in the run game, the passing game. He played well. He is very unselfish and it is good to see him have some success. I thought some of his plays really helped us. We had him open in a few other plays in the passing game, but that all being said, I am glad he is on our team. (on how injuries to the secondary impacts the team) You lose a corner, you move some guys around, move some guys up obviously. With P.J. (Williams) outside, we ended up moving a safety. We moved P.J. back, Patrick Robinson, and fortunately we are deep there. We knew going in with three safeties active we might have to have a backup plan, and sure enough we needed to. (on Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas’ record breaking season) I really wasn’t aware of it until about two seconds ago. We are talking about what, season catches? I am excited for him and I am sure he would say the same thing. More importantly, it was about getting the win. We got a lot of double on third downs, they did a pretty good job of trying to take him away. We were able to find some of his touches in the slot. That’s a great accomplishment. Marvin Harrison was a fantastic player. (on the forced fumble and play by Saints defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson) It was good catch, it was a good tackle, and we are gravitating to where we are moving the head from the hit. That was a good play by him. He’s been smart. He’s played well. I like what we have in the player. I like the way he competes. He is around the ball and man he loves playing football, so he is doing well. (on if he was surprised that the Titans continued to kick to wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harris after he was having success in the return game today) Well they finally – in the kickoff hit one, and D (Deonte Harris) ends up with it. Look, those returns were something and the field position it put us in was really good, and it had a lot to do with us winning the game. (on the performance of tight end Jared Cook in recent weeks) Yeah, you guys saw him in training camp. He’s got such good run skills after the catch, he’s a big target. The play that he and Drew (Brees) made today for the first touchdown was significant. It was good to see him – again, if we’re getting doubled outside over to the X, there’s times where he’s just going to have the single. (on the balance between sacks and coverage sacks) I want to see the tape before – I mean, I thought that they’ve got a good rush plan. We gave up a couple twists and got edged on a few so we’ll see. (on if the offensive penalties today were discouraging) Yeah, discouraging, and yet there were a handful that I was able to get a chance to see, and there were a few of them that – I mean, they are what they are. So, anything else? (on the potential of the offense with players like running back Alvin Kamara, tight end Jared Cook and wide receiver Michael Thomas) Each week the job is to understand the game and then understand what we have to do to win the game. They do a good job of mixing up some zone and man looks, a little bit different than what we’ve seen throughout the year. So, on a short week, that was a concern of mine in preparation. Are we going to be able to recognize some of these

Page 136: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

things? We got a couple of corner blitzes today. I knew we were going to get some zone pressure on third down, and fortunately we were able to solve some of those puzzles in the second half. (on the play where Head Coach Mike Vrabel challenged the call which resulted in giving the Saints extra time) Well, we went through a few different things there. I’m trying to think of the call he challenged. Whether it was an interception or incompletion, yeah. You’re waiting. We talked about a few different things. You got a corner blitz coming off of that clock stoppage and we were working an individual with Mike (Michael Thomas), and sure enough here came the corner, and Drew (Brees) kind of – there’s a safety coming over the top and those guys were able to make a play that converted the third down. But yeah, when you have a little bit more time like that, you go through and you kind of rehash some thoughts as to what we want to do on that call. So, it gave us a little bit more time than normal. (on watching other games around the league that impact the Saints’ seeding) Well, we’re flying after this and then tomorrow we’re in on Carolina. It’s hard to watch games, honestly. The players will have a chance to but we’ll see when we get home. (on if the Saints looked passed the Titans and have mentally been on Week 17) Yeah, look, the concern coming into this game was they do enough things that are different, they’re out of the conference, and then you’re coming off of a Monday night game and are you going to be able to simulate them all, while getting your guys rested. We felt like we were going to need their legs, and we were going to have to back off practice and spend more time with some walkthroughs. So, can we prepare to play this team the way we want to and still come in here with enough energy? I felt like we didn’t to start but we found it shortly into the game and that was encouraging. (on the character of this team after the highs and lows of the season) Yeah, they have, and yet we still have to clean up a few things. I told them just two minutes ago, ‘Hey, you have to believe that from week to week you can improve,’ and this is a team that still can improve, and I think that’s going to be important when we get into the tournament with better teams, single elimination, and we’re going to have to be better in some areas, lot of areas. SAINTS QUARTERBACK DREW BREES (on if he got a sense on if wide receiver Michael Thomas was emotional after breaking the record, or if he was laid back as always) I wouldn’t say laid back is Mike T (Michael Thomas). I think he is a fierce competitor and there is a great sense of urgency with everything that Mike does. We see that on the practice field every day. We see it in the locker room. He is also a fun-loving guy. He loves his teammates. He loves the locker room. He will be the first one to tell you – he said it after the game – “I love this team, I love playing for this team and I love battling for this team.” I think he just has an engine and he has a fire that is pretty rare. I think we all pride ourselves in being competitors and preparing the best we can to go out and perform on Sunday’s. But, he’s pretty rare. He's very rare in the way that he goes about his business each and every week. Everything you see on Sunday is what we see literally on every rep in practice. There is not a single rep that’s an “I’m just going to take it easy this time,” kind of thing. He is full go all of the time preparing himself for that championship rep, because I think in his mind that is how he is getting ready to play on Sunday. That is how he is getting ready for bigger games down the road. He is always putting himself in that position. (on the first touchdown pass to Jared Cook jumpstarting the offense) I thought that was really important. Obviously, they jumped out with two consecutive touchdown drives and we kept shooting ourselves in the foot offensively with our first four or five possessions it felt like. It was penalties, just miscues and not very good execution. Yeah, that was big. I think that obviously gave us a lot of momentum going into the half and then we came out with the ball on the first possession in the second half and took the lead right there and never looked back. (on if he checked to that particular play on the touchdown to Jared Cook)

Page 137: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

Yeah, we checked into it. I felt like we had an opportunity to throw a seam ball to Jared (Cook) and he made a great catch, great run and a great block by AK (Alvin Kamara) outside on the corner that kind of sprung him down the sideline. (on if he checked to the Alvin Kamara touchdown run as well) Yeah, we were checking passes and checking runs and scoring touchdowns. That’s good stuff. (on if Michael Thomas addressed the locker room following the game) Obviously, he got a game ball. It turns out you get game balls when you catch 145 passes in a season. He got a game ball and he got a chance to tell the team how much he loved being a part of it. It is always great to hear guys say that. (on if he knew that Michael Thomas needed one more reception to break the record) I didn’t. I knew that I had thrown a lot of balls to him and I knew that he needed 11, so I felt like he was close to it or eclipsing it on one of those. (on if he can put into perspective how hard it is to catch 145 passes in a season) If you break it down it is almost 10 catches per game through 15 games. That’s remarkable especially with as much as teams target him and have a plan for him. Again, testament to his ability to get open and his desire and his work ethic. (on if it was good to see running back Alvin Kamara have a big game, especially the long run for a touchdown) Absolutely. That run and then the tough goal line run. He was great all day. (on if not scoring a touchdown since week three was starting to weigh on Alvin Kamara) In a way it weighs on all of us because he is such a big part of this offense and what we do. He is highly productive. Typically, with that comes touchdowns. That is a product of the productivity. But for one reason or another he just hasn’t gotten in the endzone for a while. But I hope we broke that seal and obviously he got in twice today and hopefully there is a lot more where that came from. (on Alvin Kamara’s block downfield on the touchdown by Jared Cook) That’s the thing – he is a team player. For a guy like me, quarterbacks are used to throwing touchdown passes. But if I get to hand it off five or six times a game and watch our running backs go into the endzone, I will be the happiest guy out there, too. I don’t care if I throw it or not. So, what’s my job – to put everybody in the best position to succeed. And then Alvin (Kamara) doing whatever he can to put the offense in the best position to succeed and getting some of those hard yards that doesn’t result in him getting the touchdown, but Mike Thomas got it, or Latavius Murray got it, or Jared (Cook) got it, and it was because of his block that Jared got it. That’s good football. (on the second touchdown pass to Jared Cook) I trust him. I tried to throw it where he could get it and the other guy couldn’t. (on Mike Thomas’ intensity in practice) You will definitely get a helmet slam once every week or two. Whether he didn’t run a route just like he wanted to, or the ball wasn’t where it was supposed to be. Rarely does he get a hand on it and not bring it in. Again, he just has high expectations for himself and everyone around him. It makes everyone better. (on defensive back C.J Gardner-Johnson’s confidence and the play to force the fumble in the fourth quarter) Yeah, he has a ton of swagger. I love that about him. I think that is what makes him a great player and you love having him on your team for that reason. I think not only does that lead to plays like that, but I think it gets everybody hyped around him, too. He is one of those guys that has a way of just getting guys excited. SAINTS RUNNING BACK ALVIN KAMARA

Page 138: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on how it felt to get back into the end zone) It felt good. (on if there was a specific play that energized him today) You know, we got, I think, we have the best O-line in football. So great looks, great blocks outside. It was just a perfect storm, I guess. (on Saints tight end Jared Cook's first touchdown reception) It was a big touchdown, I think we needed a spark and he provided that. It was a big play. I think we kind of got juiced up after that. (on what today's win does for the team moving forward) I mean, we're still not playing our best football. Shooting ourselves in the foot, a lot of penalties offensively. We've got to start faster than that, but, you know, a win is a win. We found a way to get some rhythm and get some momentum going. The defense did what they had to do, gave us some life and we fed off of it. (on his first touchdown run) I mean, we worked that during the week. So, I mean, if he calls it, I know he sees something that he likes. So, when he called it, I just stayed true to the read. Terron (Armstead) and those guys on the front side did what they had to do. Back side got their blocks in, you know? It was wide open for me, all I had to do was run. (on running out of bounds in the first half when he may have had room to run) I just thought the guy was on me, so I ran out of bounds. (on getting back some burst since his injury) Just to get that burst back, just to get it back going. Like I said last week, I think it's a race every week to get as close to 100 percent as you can. So, that's what I've been trying to do. (on making a defender miss a tackle in the third quarter) Yeah, it felt good. It felt good. I think that was one of those plays that I'm used to having that I just haven't had, you know, these last couple of weeks. I think just a little bit healthier, feeling better. (on scoring a touchdown for the first time since Week 3) We’re wining still, so, you know, it is what it is. I mean, I would like to score, but, you know, the wins are coming. I'm not really a selfish player. It is what it is. As long as we're having success as a team, I'm good. (on making plays to help the team win without scoring personally) As a football player, you're one of 11 guys on the field. So, I mean, every play you have a job to do. Even if I'm not scoring or touching the ball, I mean, I have a job to do. Whether it's to block somebody, whether it's to hold a flat defender for, you know, a route up over me. Whether it's to be the play fake, I have a job to do. So, as long as I'm executing my assignment, I'm fine. (on playing with Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas) I mean, it's the same thing when you guys ask about Drew Brees. Mike (Michael Thomas) is Mike. It's not anything out of the ordinary for him. He works hard, he wants the ball, he demands the ball. When he gets the ball in his hands he makes plays, so he deserves it. (on his touchdown run) It was great blocking, you know, so, like I said, all I had to do is run. (on the Saints offense finding a groove the past few weeks) Yeah, I mean, this game was sloppy. A lot of penalties, like I said. Shot ourselves in the foot. We’ve just got to focus on attention to detail and clean up some of the messes we're creating on our own, because I feel like when we play clean nobody can stop us. We're stopping ourselves with first-and-20 and things like that.

Page 139: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on if he thinks about the potential of the Saints offense) Like I said, you’ve got to limit the mistakes and the errors, and, I think we can go as far as we want to go. SAINTS WIDE RECEIVER MICHAEL THOMAS (on how it feels to break the NFL's single-season receptions record) To be honest, it doesn't really mean nothing. We got the victory. We're trying to play and go to a championship right now, and at the end of the season we'll look up and see all the things we accomplished. But right now we're focused on one common goal, and that's a championship. (on moving into the slot position at times today against the Titans) Just figuring it out through the course of the game. Taking what they're giving you, and learning how to execute and split doubles, and create separation, and just preparation throughout the week. Talking to Drew (Brees), asking him what he likes and what he sees, and just trying to be absolutely where he wants me at the right time. (on his level of respect for Marvin Harrison) Oh yeah, most definitely. Tremendous player, Hall of Fame player. I actually know his son, who's actually going to Ohio State and has a bright future as well. A guy that I got to know this offseason, who is going to be real special and I'm excited for him to go to Ohio State. Marvin, there's not many bad things you could say about him. He's a real professional, the way he went about his business. Just to be in this position right now, it's a blessing. I don't take it for granted. But, the fact that we still have more goals as a team as far as like, not the individual stuff that comes along with it. I would be selfish to be like, 'Oh, you know, I just caught all these passes and did all this.' Ultimately, I was catching passes to win the game to help my team to be in the position we're in now, so I just want to keep catching passes and end up where we want to be. (on setting a single-season NFL record for receptions) We're just so locked in and focused on playing that perfect game, winning as many games as we can and staying in the moment. So, it's hard. I broke the record and caught a lot of passes, but it's just like, what I was doing that for, was for my team. So, I wasn't really looking at the stat sheet, but I was making sure I caught the passes and added value to my team. That's ultimately what I'm here to do, and I feel like as long as I continue to do that I'll catch more passes and break more records. (on his touchdown today) Just accountability and our preparation and our coaching. We have tremendous coaches who allow us to play fast on Sundays, that put us in position to make big plays to move the chains, and credit to those guys. Credit to all my teammates, honestly, for the record. It was a contributed effort they all played a part in. Like, I couldn't catch a pass if Ryan (Ramczyk), Terron (Armstead), Larry (Warford), (Andrus) Peat, (Nick) Easton – those guys, my teammates, I love them. They honestly put me in position to make those plays. They gave the quarterback enough time. Credit to picking up protections by the running backs, to the receivers clearing out space, to Teddy Bridgewater to Taysom (Hill). I could go down the whole list and thank all my teammates. To the defense, they gave us the ball back and gave us possessions to make those catches. It's all complementary football. (on his plans for the recording-breaking football) Like I said, I haven't really, like, taken it all in yet. I'm just happy for the victory and to be moving in the right direction playing for a one or two seed. (on going around to his teammates following his record-breaking catch) Oh yeah, I always do that. You guys probably just caught it there because of what just happened, but I always like to encourage my teammates and let them know – just thank them, and make sure we're all locked in and we're staying focused, and doing the things we're supposed to do and encouraging them. Just things team players do. (on breaking the NFL's single-season receptions record) The record, it's broken and it's going to be extended next week. That's all I'll say. Like, we have a big game coming next week. I don't really want to talk too much about the individual stuff, man. I'm blessed to be in this position to be able have the opportunity to break that record, to be with the names of those guys. We can have this interview at the end of the season, you know, after we look at all the individual stuff. Right now, I'm playing for my team.

Page 140: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on what motivates him after signing a large contract in the offseason) First and foremost, I don't pay attention to other guys and what they're doing, and all the stuff they have going on. I just try to stay in my lane, you know, maximize my potential and always try to get better. Find ways to enhance my weaknesses, and improve the things I'm really good at so that no one can take those away from me, and keep my blinders on and win games. That's the best feeling at the end of the day. wins, The win column, adding up the win column. SAINTS TIGHT END JARED COOK (on erasing a 14-point deficit to get the win) It was a rough start with a lot of penalties. We just had to keep fighting, they don’t stop the game at halftime. You just have to be resilient and keep going and that’s exactly what we did. (on Saints running back Alvin Kamara’s block that helped spring his first touchdown) It was huge, and I thanked him a boatload for it. Kevin Byard was the single safety, and he was able to get in front of him and kind of set the block up inside. He stayed on him the whole time. I appreciate that AK (Alvin Kamara). (on if his first touchdown helped ignite the offense and if Drew Brees checked to that play) I felt like it was something we needed. Penalties kind of set us back early in the game and we just needed a spark, and Drew (Brees) found me on the backside hash. He checked to it because they were all up with two deep safeties back. He saw that and knew that the Mike (Michael Thomas) wouldn’t be able to get back in time. (on what the team learned from the win) Coming back from a 14-point deficit is not easy and that’s not the position you want to be in. It’s important for us to come out and start fast, and keep the momentum. (on how perfect the throw was on his second touchdown) Yeah, Drew (Brees) trusts me man, and he threw it. That’s the first thing he said to me on the sidelines, ‘I trust you man, so I’m glad you went up and made the play.’ That’s something that we’ve talked about all season, that if I need you to be there for me I’m just going to put it up. SAINTS SAFETY C.J. GARDNER-JOHNSON (on his forced fumble that helped seal the win) I wasn’t trying to hurt the guy, honestly I was just trying to make a good football play and the ball came out. I read his eyes the whole way. When you stare a receiver down, for like a million years, everybody should know where you’re going. But like I said, I didn’t try to hurt anybody. I was just being a football player. I try to protect myself because I don’t want to go in head first and hurt anybody, that’s not my intention. My intention is to jar the ball loose with a shoulder or hand. You have to respect players. I walked over to him and shook his hand after the play. (on if he thought the forced fumble was his best play of the year ) No, I’ve got way more from where that came from. I’m young, I’m still learning. One thing about me is I’m not one of these guys that gets caught up in one play. I’ve got another game to play. We’ve got another game to play. I’m just ready to get in on Monday and watch the film on Carolina, and hopefully we can get this No. 1 seed. That’s all we are hoping for right now. (on what this game says about the Saints secondary with a lot of moving parts and players filling in) We’ve got a lot of guys that have played a lot of football. You’ve got to get thrown out there and they know that. You just have to go in and put your nose in that book, and listen to your teammates. There wasn’t any fall off, we just have to move some people around and keep pushing. (on if he looks at his starting opportunity due to injury as an audition to be a full-time starter in the NFL) It’s not an audition. I just prepare like a starter. My position coach tells me every day, ‘Prepare like a starter. You never know.’ This is a league of changes, so you have to be able to adapt to change.

Page 141: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

SAINTS LINEBACKER A.J. KLEIN (on how impressed he’s been with guys stepping up and filling in for injured teammates) I’ve been impressed, especially with guys going down and bringing in new faces to the building that haven’t been with us all year. It goes to show that the coaching and players help bring everyone up. It’s a war of attrition and a long season. (on forcing a turnover after the Saints failed to convert on fourth down) It’s huge momentum. There is obviously going to be ups and downs in the game, so it’s all about how you react. I can’t say enough about this D-line today either. I don’t know how many times we sacked them today, but they were putting pressure on (Ryan) Tannehill all day and keeping him uncomfortable. When plays need to be made, it seems like this defense steps up. TITANS HEAD COACH MIKE VRABEL (on if he thought the hit that caused wide receiver Kalif Raymond to fumble was a hit to the head against a defenseless receiver) I did, but again, they didn’t see it that way. That’s what happens. It’s fast; it happens quickly. Again, it’s about player safety and about when that player becomes unprotected. There’s a certain time completing the process of the catch, and it’s a fine line. (on if wide receiver Kalif Raymond was knocked out during that play) I know that he was down on the ground. I don’t know what his status was before I got out there. When I got out there, he was fine and talking to us. (on if it is an unusual feeling to lose a hard-fought game and still have another opportunity next week) Sure. I think just the approach that the playoffs have started essentially for us because when you get into any kind of playoff, when you win, you move on to the next step. When you lose, you’re done. I think that’s really where we’re at right now. (on his thoughts behind running out the clock at the end of the first half with three timeouts and 2:05 left on the clock) That they were getting the ball in the second half, and we just wanted to make sure that we were sound and smart with the football. We got a first down there I think, but we weren’t able to sustain. That’s what the thinking was, was that you want to be smart with the football and go down and score points, but you also don’t want to leave Drew Brees and a couple of timeouts and a minute and 45 seconds. (on how he thought running backs Dion Lewis and Dalyn Dawkins performed while running back Derrick Henry was inactive in today’s game) First of all, that was an organizational decision that we thought was best for the football team. We try to make every decision with the team’s best interest in mind. There’s a lot of guys that stepped up and took advantage of their opportunities. Dion (Lewis), (Dalyn) Dawkins, Tajaé (Sharpe), (Derick) Roberson. Nigel (Harris) got to play on special teams. That’s what this league’s about, guys taking advantage of their opportunity. (on if he expected to see Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore travel because of Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown) Yeah, probably. He had done that, and I think that we were expecting that. That’s what you get when you start playing well in this league, and they have other players that are very good, that that’s what happens. (on the kind of week he anticipated for running back Derrick Henry’s health now that the team is in a do-or-die situation) I think that, first of all, nobody respects the effort that Derrick puts forward for this team (more than me), not only in the conditioning to get his body right, to be a runner that can withstand the pounding of an NFL season. I fully understand what that toll and rigor is. You can only hope that it would help, and that’s why we made the decision that we made.

Page 142: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on the effort early in the game to get the ball into the hands of Jonnu Smith and A.J. Brown with Derrick Henry out) Well, I think that’s something you always try to do, whether Derrick (Henry)’s involved, it’s just guys that can help you. You know, I think some of those plays are certainly not going to get noticed but I know that (MyCole) Pruitt and (Taylor) Lewan had great blocks and great adjustments on the pressure. They pressured right into the one that A.J. (Brown) was able to score on and that was probably the most difficult look that they could have gotten and they both blocked it very well. To be able to get Jonnu (Smith) free like that, you have to be able to sell the linemen the action and the linemen did that with the pads down. Jonnu continues to improve and got his eyes around, got vertical when he caught it. (on the issue with kickoff coverage) It’s hard to see but here’s what happens on kickoff coverage. You need a great kick, like punt coverage and then you need guys that are able to run down there, avoid without slowing down and then we’ve got to finish on the football. Then you’ve got to be able to keep leverage and try to bend it back. So again, we’ll look at that, and we knew that was a strength of their football team. They have a returner that’s very confident in what he’s doing. He brought it out five-deep and that’s certainly something we’ll have to look at and continue to work on. (on waiting on the result of the Houston game to decide on making RB Derrick Henry inactive today) There’s a lot of things that we kind of go through to figure out when we’re making decisions. I would say that that’s probably something else that factored into the decision. (on what he liked that outside linebacker Derick Roberson did today) It looked like he factored. It looked like he played fast. He flashed and you know again, there was a lot of times where we were executed the keys and understood what we were trying to do as far as disrupting the timing of the quarterback and getting guys into the pocket and hitting receivers. You know, we dropped two passes. He really threw us one to Kevin (Byard) and (Tramaine) Brock was there on the other one. You’ve got to catch the ones they throw you. (on being frustrated after closing the score to three points and they would answer) I mean, it’s just not good enough. You can give up big plays and missed tackles, the execution. You have breakdowns where our guys aren’t on the same page. Yeah, I think that that’s frustrating when I think that our offense to come back and answer, close the gap like you said. We get them down there and try to hold them to a field goal and they were able to score again. (on the energy and effort of the team) I love the effort of our football team, you know. I know that they’re going to fight. They’re going to compete. We came out. We did some things very well. We got a lead but no lead is safe against a team that’s got the type of players they have that are led by the quarterback that they have. Just unfortunate when officials tell you they’ve missed calls on touchdowns. I’ll leave it at that. You’ve got to do a better job of not letting them get the touchdown. It’s hard enough to stop them as it is. (on yardage total of two excellent receivers the last two weeks and having to be better in that regard) The guy just broke the all-time record. We’ll have to do a better job the next time we play a guy that’s got the all-time record for catches. TITANS QUARTERBACK RYAN TANNEHILL (on the emotions of losing in Week 16 and having a chance to secure a playoff spot in Week 17) It’s like mixed emotions. Losing hurts. I hate losing – that’s kind of what my feeling is right now, is that we just lost the game. We understand the situation, and next week we have an opportunity to win to get in. For me personally, it’s tough to lose a game, especially when you had a shot there in the fourth quarter down three. I had a great feeling about it, I thought we were going to go down and win the game. We weren’t able to do that, so it hurts. You hate losing. I’m proud of the way guys battled, but we just didn’t do enough to win the game (on the hit to the head that Kalif Raymond took in the fourth quarter that resulted in a Titans’ turnover)

Page 143: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

That’s one of those gray (area) hits. Obviously, you hate to see one our guys get hit like that – really, anybody. You see him get hit in the head, I’ll let the official officiate, but definitely hate to see anybody get hit in the head like that. It’s a tough play and you don’t like to see it. (on what his emotions were on Kalif Raymond’s fumble in the fourth quarter) They did a good job taking away Jonnu (Smith), number one. I reset and saw Kalif (Raymond) give him a good move at the top. I was able to give him the football over a backer, so I’m thinking, ‘Yeah, we’re across midfield. We’re rolling.’ I saw the hit. I didn’t see the ball come out initially, but I saw their guys – I was kind of behind the O-line – scrambling for the ball, and knew what it was then. I wasn’t sure what the call was going to be because it was so bang-bang. Obviously, it didn’t go our way. (on what A.J. Brown can learn from going against Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore) I think A.J. (Brown) had some opportunities and did a good job. You can see it there at the end, he went on a go route. He made some plays for us. I don’t think A.J. was locked down by anybody. We have a ton of respect for (Marshon) Lattimore and what he can do, he played extremely well. I think A.J. had some routes. The read took me to the other side a couple of times. Looking on the pictures, he was still winning on the backside. Obviously, he’ll grow from the experience, but I thought he did a good job today. (on other players stepping up in Derrick Henry’s absence) It’s huge. Those guys have been coming up big for us all year. Obviously, it’s tough not having Derrick (Henry) back there, but we had guys step up and make plays. We got out to an early lead, and then couldn’t sustain that through the second quarter. I think that’s what hurt us, is yeah we jumped out, but in the second quarter we’ve got to be better offensively, keep that momentum going and keep putting points on the board. (on what led to getting Corey Davis more involved in Week 16) We try to mix it around every week. I just think it’s the way it fell today. Corey (Davis) was winning on his routes, and we were able to get him the football. We’re going to try to have a few plays every week to mix the ball around, it just matters week-to-week if coverage allows it, and if they win. So, a lot of factors go into that. (on what he would like to change when playing the Texans for the second time in Week 17) I think we’ve got to start faster, which we did today. But, then sustain that momentum and just keep it rolling. Be consistent throughout the game. Obviously, you’re not going to score every drive, but you just want to be consistent, move the football and execute. I think we had opportunities to do that today, and we did at times, we’ve just got to be consistent with it. (on Tajaé Sharpe having a big day receiving) Tajaé (Sharpe) has come up big for us. He had some big plays today – a couple off-schedule plays. He’s finding the open spot, and then solid speed for him to get in the end zone on the long one. Then, kind of high in the back there for the second touchdown. He’s a guy that’s got a lot of range, he’s long, he’s got a great stride. He can do it all for us. We put him at every position, so he really opens up a lot of things for us. (on if the Saints pass rush was doing anything specific to get pressure) I’ll have to back and look at it on tape to see exactly what was going on. I think the offensive line did a great job of battling through that, and then giving me time there in the second half. A couple plays I was able to extend and find receivers. You’ve got to give credit for the way that they just battled through that, and then protecting me in the second half. (on if he thinks there were times that he held onto the ball too long) Yeah, I think there were a couple plays there in the first half where I could have just found somebody to dirt it to. There was some ones that I don’t think I could’ve gotten it out, and it was a couple that I could’ve probably found a way to just dirt it and live for another day. (on if he’s hopeful that Derrick Henry being inactive Week 16 will help him play in Week 17) Yeah, we want to get Derrick (Henry) back. I think he’s been crucial to our offense the whole year. I think anyone can see that and what he brings to the table. Obviously, not having him out there today was tough, but he wasn’t ready to go. Hopefully another week of rest will get him back close to 100 percent and he’ll be ready to go on Sunday.

Page 144: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on if Houston winning the AFC South title on Saturday changed how they approached this game) Yeah, I’m sure we adjusted a little bit. We’re not making major changes. I think throughout the week we kind of figured out what we liked against that defense, not specially built around one player, or anything like that. (on how important it was to use this game without Derrick Henry as a practice game for the playoffs in case Derrick Henry isn’t available) I’m not sure that was a factor at all. I think every week you try to mix things up and throw some different things out there. We did have some different stuff, but I think we would have ran those regardless if Derrick (Henry) was playing or not. TITANS TIGHT END JONNU SMITH (on coming up short in a tough battle) Yeah, we came up short, we fought back, give credit where it is due. Those guys, they overcame some adversity and they kept fighting. played a good game, they’re among the best in the NFL. We’ve got to come in here, you know, get this thing cleaned up, get ready to win a game. (on offense slowing down after a quick start) We are going to find out when we watch the film. I can’t tell you right off the bat, but there were some problems that we are going to get fixed up, collectively, you know. Keep our heads high, we are still in this thing. (on if he was aware Pittsburgh had been defeated at any point during the game) No, we didn’t know. I just found out from you. That’s good to hear. (on how team approaches this week knowing a playoff berth is on the line) We just have to take it one day at a time. Take it one day at a time, everything that we have been successful doing, we have to get back to finding what that was and maybe see things that we were changing sometimes when things don’t go in your favor. But we are just going to do what we do, play hard and play with a chip on our shoulder. Play with effort and finish, everything that we do, just keep playing. (on describing his catch and run play) A great setup by Ryan (Tannehill), the O-line protected, a great ball. Corey (Davis) made a play. TITANS TACKLE JACK CONKLIN (on some of the challenges the offensive line faced in today’s game) Obviously, the Saints played great. You know, they played well enough to beat us, we have got to do better. Some situations where we’ve just got to do a little bit more, have less penalties and (we had) some issues with protection. Little things like that, the Saints took advantage of those issues and we fell short. (on putting the game behind them with an opportunity to gain a playoff berth next week) Exactly, take what we can from this game and the playoffs start next week for us. TITANS TACKLE TAYLOR LEWAN (on next week’s opportunity to gain a spot in playoffs) This is our playoffs. We need to go in there and make sure we play well and be the offensive line and the offense we know that we can be. (on if he was aware of the New York Jets’ win over Pittsburgh) No, I wasn’t aware until after the game, somebody told me. So, you try to do your best, I mean it was a very weird, from the circumstances, a weird game today. But you try to do your best and focus. (on when he became aware Derrick Henry would not play today)

Page 145: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

Probably when the 90 minutes or 60 minutes comes out that someone says who our inactives are. You know, my job is to focus on being the left tackle. We’ve just got to be ready to go next week. (on despite having a tough loss, still having an opportunity to gain a playoff berth) Yeah, I mean, I said it was weird game. I am happy that we have next week to get in there and go win and go play. So, we have our work cut out for us. We have a big game at a place, historically, since I have been here haven’t had a lot of success at and we need to go in there and win a game. TITANS WIDE RECEIVER TAJAÉ SHARPE (on how the Titans continue to fight to the end) That’s kind of been the mode of this team ever since I got here four years ago. Tough, physical, never quit. No matter what the situation is, I know every guy in this room is going to fight until its triple zeros on the clock. That’s never a concern. We just have to do a better job of putting it together for four quarters. (on the team’s ceiling if the Titans make the playoffs) There’s no ceiling. At all. If there is, we’re going to bust through it. I think this team can be as great as we want to be. We just have to go back to the drawing board, correct our mistakes, put it together, and get ready for Houston. (on the offensive players stepping up in running back Derrick Henry’s absence) That’s what this team is built on. Obviously, we had some key guys down today, but it’s kind of a next man up mentality. When one of our soldiers goes down, the next man has to be just as ready as he was to come in and make some plays when their number is called. (on what worked well for him today) I just felt like the coaches called a play where I was able to find a way to get in the end zone. Ryan (Tannehill) made a heck of a play scrambling, both times. The first play was kind of a mess, and I just tried to find an open hole so he could see me. In the red zone play I saw him scrambling, and I just wanted to keep the play alive, and he found me in the back of the end zone. TITANS OUTSIDE LINEBACKER DERICK ROBERSON (on his performance today) I was just telling Drew Brees I’m going to get to him. I told him after the game ‘I got my first career sack against you,’ and he told me good luck. All week we knew we could get after the O-line. (on his first career sacks being recorded on Saints quarterback Drew Brees) After I got the first one, I was like, ‘Yeah, I need to get another one.’ Drew Brees is a Hall of Famer. Anytime you can get to a Hall of Famer like that is a good day. I actually grew up being a Saints fan when Reggie Bush got drafted. So, I told him that, and he told me he was going to send me something. (on being able to contribute as a young player) It feels good to go in there and do anything I can do to help the team win. (on if today’s performance was a sign of things to come) Oh yeah. Like my coach said, we just have to keep on going. This is just the start. (on his progression from training camp to now) It’s just preparing every week in practice and every day, working on my fundamentals, learning the plays. Just being more of a pro, finding a daily routine, even on off days finding stuff that I know and to stick to it. TITANS WIDE RECEIVER A.J. BROWN (on being matched up with Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore) To be honest, we were going back and forth. I won some rounds, he won some. In my opinion, that’s probably one of the best cornerbacks in the league. When I had a chance, Ryan (Tannehill) didn’t look my way, but when he had

Page 146: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

me he kind of looked my way, so it was going tit-for-tat. But, I respect him and I learn from it. I love going against a guy like that. They show you what you are and where I want to be. I know these matchups are only going to get better. (on what made his rushing touchdown succeed) A lot of guys doing their job. A lot of guys going unnoticed. I got the touchdown, but a lot of guys were doing their job. (on what happened to the offense after the first two touchdowns) To be honest, I don’t know. It was a tough one. (on the mindset heading into next week) It’s do or die. The playoffs already started. We have to get this win. (on wide receiver Tajaé Sharpe’s performance) He played a really good game. He stepped up. It’s been a little tough for him, but he showed up today and I appreciated the attitude he came into the game with. I’m proud of him. He deserves everything he gets. TITANS DEFENSIVE TACKLE JURRELL CASEY (on what the Titans must do to win next week) Go on and compete, or we won’t be able to last in the playoffs. We have to make sure to clean up the mistakes and get ready for a hard-fought challenge next weekend. Put us in a great position to win. (on when the team learned that the Jets had beaten the Steelers today) When we got into the locker room. I don’t think anyone was paying attention or focusing on that. We were trying to win this game and focus on that, but we didn’t get it done today. When we got the news everyone understood what time it was now. (on Titans’ defensive breakdown in the second half to allow Drew Brees to play so well) They started making plays. (Drew) Brees started making plays, and their guys started catching balls, and we could didn’t get to him as much as we did in the first half. We should have helped out on defense a little more. They started executing, and we weren’t. (on playing the Texans for the second time in three weeks) It’s not a disadvantage. It can be a disadvantage because you know each other so well, but at the end of the day it comes down to heart, pride and soul. It’s what it comes down to in a rivalry game, that’s what it is. No matter how many times we play them, we understand what the Titans versus Texans is. We played them every year, so playing them back-to-back, or playing them two weeks later, it really shouldn’t even matter. It’s still a rivalry game. This just gives us motivation, to know we still have a chance to go fight in the playoffs. (on getting his 50th career sack today for the Titans) It feels amazing. To have 50 sitting on my career is definitely amazing, but I’m not done yet. Got plenty more to keep on coming. 50 is just a sweet number. TITANS SAFETY KEVIN BYARD (on the performance of Saints quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans offense) I thought during the first half we were assaulting in the middle of the pocket. We were getting him off his spot. He was making some big plays. Roby (Derick Roberson) had a couple of sacks as well, so he played pretty great. I think in the second half he got into a little groove, and he was able to make some hell of a throws and things. His guys made some great catches. A couple of my targets that I gave up were some great catches. It’s just where you win some and lose some. I feel like I wanted to get the ball out, but it is what it is. I feel like the guys battled their tails off, and we tried to get ourselves back in the game. He’s made a living, and that’s why he’s going into the Hall of Fame, because he’s a great quarterback.

Page 147: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

(on the Titans controlling their own destiny to get into the playoffs) The season is not over. We feel like the playoffs have started already for us. We win, we keep moving. You lose, you go home. So, that’s kind of the mentality of the team right now. (on what the Titans must do differently this time around playing Houston next week) First off, we definitely have to contain No. 10 (DeAndre Hopkins). Try to eliminate him as much as we can from the game, and try to keep No. 4 (QB Deshaun Watson) in the pocket. Don’t let him scramble around and make those big plays in the pass game. Stop the run. We’re just going to have to play great complementary football to beat those guys, especially down in Houston. I think it’s going to be a pretty good environment. We have to do what we need to do to play big time football. TITANS CORNERBACK LOGAN RYAN (on the Titans’ defensive effort today) Really, we were too aggressive the last two minutes of the first half, and that got them a score. Then they came out the second half, with a combination of deeper throws and some shorter throws. So, I mean, you are not going to hold those guys to seven points or whatever. They are a good opponent and a good offense, and they’ve been on a roll. I think we took it to them. I think we made a blueprint on how to compete with them, we just failed to finish in the end. Some poor field position, some poor unfortunate calls out there. Some of the stuff didn’t break our way, and they had some good field position. Short fields, and he (Drew Brees) is efficient in the red zone. So, that’s what he does best. (on Titans’ playoff possibilities despite the loss today to New Orleans) We knew regardless we were going to do everything we could to win this game. Regardless the season wasn’t over today, so its win and we’re in. So our playoffs start next week, and we have to beat teams like Houston to do anything in the playoffs anyway. I mean, the playoffs start this week. It was a good battle, we wanted to win, did everything we could to win. Hats off to Michael Thomas, he’s a good player. Hats off to Drew Brees. I think they saw – we came and competed today, and they had some more points at the end. But it’s now all about the Houston Texans, and getting in the playoffs. I’m pretty frustrated that we didn’t win today, but I have a playoff game next week. If you told us from this time last year that we win and we’re in, in Week 17, no matter how you get there, no matter what it is. Against Houston – we played them and lost to them by three. We want that situation, everyone in this locker room wants that situation. So, I’m excited. It’s going to be a great week. Santa is going to hit our house, and I’m going to have a fun game out there in Houston, and an opportunity to get us in the playoffs. (on playing Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins next week and the performance of Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas today) He’s (DeAndre Hopkins) going to get his targets. They are going to throw him the ball every play, fifteen times a game. So, he gets ten catches for 80 yards, and you have to keep him in front of you. I think we did a good job with that last week for the most part. We just have to keep stringing them (good plays) together, to get them on third down. The field position was unfortunate today. Make them kick field goals instead of touchdowns. KV (Kenny Vaccaro) had a perfect play to the pocket, but the guy caught the ball. That’s football, some bad breaks and some turnovers. It didn’t fall our way today, but Michael Thomas is going to get his targets and get his catches, and you just have to limit the damage.

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, December 23, 2019

You guys had a lot of attrition in the secondary yesterday. How did P.J. Williams hold up at safety?

“I thought he did a good job and we kind of knew going in if something were to happen (he would be a candidate to move over). You kind of go through these scenarios first, we had the corner injury and then with the safety injury, we had a few moving parts, but overall I thought we handled it well.”

What was the plan for Janoris Jenkins and how did you think he played?

“Well, the plan was to have him ready in the sub, to be able to play either outside or inside, depending on our coverage call and he ended up playing more and more snaps. But overall good.”

Is Jared Cook fitting the vision you planned for him when you signed him?

“We've seen it in weeks past, so it's just I would say absolutely. He's very good with the ball in his hands after the catch. We've seen that time and time again and Alvin (Kamara) does a great job on his first touchdown, getting a block and securing the score so yes”

How has your Christmas week schedule evolved or changed throughout the years as a head coach?

“The thing about it is it is ever changing because the day Christmas falls changes. You adjust (and) you’re going to practice generally that day unless it is a Tuesday. This year Christmas Eve falls on a Tuesday. We'll bring the players in a little later on Wednesday practice and then get them out of here so that there's morning time with their families and then evening time, but it is kind of a moving target and you adjust accordingly.”

Is the later time for the players reporting on Christmas something that you adapted to or is it something you’ve always maintained?

“Look, we'll get our work in and I think that there's so many of them have young children that I think it just makes sense to push everything back where we are looking at, 12:00pm noon kind of meeting time and then try to get through our work (until) 4:00-4:30pm. I think it's a little bit of being somewhat flexible and understanding (of) the day it falls on.”

New Orleans Saints Head Tight End Jared Cook Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, December 23, 2019

Page 149: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

Drew Brees said he audibled out of a play to get into that second guarter touchdown play, that 61-yarder. First, was it a run and second, what does that say about the confidence he has in you to audible into something where he felt like you'd be able to get you? “It wasn't a run. For him to be able to audible, I mean, that's just Drew man. That's him being who he is. He saw the defense was in a vulnerable position and saw that they were all up in the line of scrimmage and he checked it because he knew that backer couldn't get out in time. They wouldn't be able to drop to the coverage they needed, that zone in time. That's when the end tried to drop and kind of nudged me and rolled me and I just found the empty spot open in the middle of the field.” He also got you in the end zone a second time on heavy coverage. Do you feel like you guy’s chemistry is that he said, look, I saw him and I put it where I thought he could get it and the other guy couldn't get it? He just felt like he had a mismatch there. “Yeah, absolutely. That’s kind of what happened. He just put it to where the defender couldn’t see it and I just did my best to kind of get my body in the front of the ball even though he had his arm draped across the front part of my body. I just tried to do my best to make a play on the ball and Drew made a good throw and I was able to hold on to it and haul it in. But, the trust is there. I feel like the chemistry is getting better and we’re continuing to grow together, which is pretty awesome. That confidence we have in each other, that’s what continues to push us and continues to let this offense grow and build.” What'd you think about the block Alvin (Kamara) had on the touchdown? “If it wasn’t for him and then Ted (Ginn) coming over the top blocking for me too then I probably wouldn't have gotten (to the end zone). That was a huge, huge block by him. He stayed on bite and allowed me to kind of set it up and we even started back out to kind of hold the block a little bit longer and he stayed with him the whole time.” You guys have scored at least 30 points in the last three games. How many stretches offensively have you been on like that in the NFL? “I couldn’t tell you. There hasn't been a lot though. Maybe the one year I was in Green Bay, but definitely not a lot. It has not happened a lot in my career. How much are you going to be watching the scoreboard this week in terms of competition and hoping to secure a bye? “Not too much, man. I'll probably continue doing the same as I do. Just catching a few games here and there, but there's a lot that we’ve got to focus on here. I had a few miscues in the game that I'm not happy about. I feel like it's a lot of things that this all offense can correct. I don't feel like we should necessarily be satisfied. A lot of this stuff is going to take care of itself and a lot of that stuff is out of your control. So our focus or my focus I should say is to control what I can control and how do I get better? How do I

Page 150: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

get better over the next week and to the end of the season and then into the postseason how do I continue to get better and make this offense better and more of a prolific offense than what it already is? That's kind of my focus. I don't do too much of that. Focusing on all of the (other) things. I think there’s enough things that we’ve got to focus on right here in this locker room.” It’s not a unit you’re on, but when you're watching Deonte Harris go out there and return kicks and return punts and he's just having fun with it, making other people look silly, like what goes through your mind when you're watching a teammate have success like that? “It’s awesome. Knowing his story and where he came from. I think that makes us that much better. Coach (Payton) said it perfectly last night. You hold your breath every time he touches the ball because you just never know. He could just strike out at any time. He's a great returner and as long as the guys stay on their blocks, he always has opportunities to get up out of there. He’s electric man. He's electric.” You were saying that there are some things that you were unhappy with yourself. From an outsiders perspective, of course it looks like you had a great game, but there's all these little details I guess. Can you specify maybe some things you've pinpointed from the film? “I lined up wrong on one play, I heard the call wrong in the huddle, wound up on the wrong side. I can get better (at) route running. There were a lot of times yesterday on some of the routes where maybe I could have used my leverage a little bit more, create more separation. Those are the things that I'm frustrated with right now. You look at the game and you can be happy with that if you want to, but I'm not. I feel like it's temporary satisfaction for me. The overall goal is how do I continue to improve? How do I continue to get better? That's always the name of the game is to find ways that's going to extend your game and make defenses continue to guess on what you're going to do. That has always been my focus and it will always continue to be my focus because that's what continues to make me better and better.” How crazy is it when you think about Mike Thomas having 145 receptions? “That’s insane. To have 145 receptions for me would probably take about two and a half, three seasons. But for him, to get that in a single year, that's pretty impeccable. It is something I might not ever see again in his lifetime and a lot of people will not. He still has another game to continue balling out to extend that record. Huge kudos to him. Huge kudos to Drew (Brees) because that's something that you don't necessarily see in decades, man. It’s huge.” When you're making a decision on what team to join in the offseason, do you try to envision how you fit in the offense and is this how you figured you would fit in this offense?

Page 151: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (12-3) AT CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10) · 2019. 12. 26. · 2 SAINTS-PANTHERS CONNECTIONS New Orleans wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. played for the Panthers in 2013 and

“Yeah, how an OC (Offensive Coordinator) would use you and kind of chemistry and how you fit in that team I think is the biggest thing. Because I had one of my best years last year in Oakland, so that success was something that kind of drove me to find a new home. Where I could have the same similar type of success, because that was such a fun season for me. When you're out there dominating it’s fun. That's how you have fun in this game is dominating and doing your job to me. That was a fun year for me. I just wanted to find a place that I had an opportunity to do the same thing, go out there and be a dominant tight end and make plays. And this was one of the places where I figured that I could help the most. I knew it had been a while since they had a (dominant) tight (end) in this offense. I knew that it was a place where I could step right in and make a huge impact. That's kind of what drove me into my decision.” Did you see the potential to be a downfield threat in the passing game? “Yeah, absolutely. That's something that I've done throughout my career. That was something that I just expected to continue to happen.” Just out of curiosity, as you've been in the league for I guess about a decade now, what is Christmas like as an NFL player? “When you become a parent, Christmas it’s for the kids. It wasn’t necessarily for adults, most of the times good underwear, drawers, you know, socks or paintings from the kids anyway. It's just about spending time with them and watching them enjoy it and you are watching them grow. It is tough. You know, it is kind of double edged sword. You want to enjoy it, you want to be merry and bright. But you got to focus and you know you have task at hand. Coach is giving us plenty of time to enjoy it this week. So I’ll enjoy it with my family, I enjoy it with my kids. It'll be a fun day, but other than that, we still have things we have to take care of.” What kind of test did you feel it was in terms of playoff readiness for your team, with the weather, playing on the road in rough field conditions? “Definitely a tough situation. Like you said, the weather’s not there, the crowd's not in your favor. It's a bad day with penalties and you're down 14. I think it's a testament on the type of talent that this team has to fight back. I think it's a testament of our defense, because they helped us out a lot yesterday, when we weren’t putting up points. And I just think it shows that the will of this team to continue fighting, never given up, but that's obviously not a position we want to be in next week or continuing into the postseason. You never want to get down or start a game off like that. You always want to continue to fight and always want to come out and strike fast and continue rolling from there. That is what I'm talking about and things that you can improve on even though things aren't going your way. We fought back, but that's still not a position that you want to be in.” What’s it been like for you watching Taysom Hill play your position? “You don't realize the talent he has until you actually watch him in person and you are actually focused on, seeing him throw, run, his size, seeing him run through people. I

think that's the most impressive is how many things he can do. Like yesterday on that deep over he caught (was) thrown a little bit behind him. The defender kind of caught up a little bit, but he was able to come back to the ball and hop on it and make a huge play for us on a linebacker. You know what I'm saying? It's not something that you see a quarterback do every day, the size of his legs, the way he runs, just a big frame that's just punishes people every time he runs. It's impressive the things he can do with football and especially somebody who's playing out of positions and we're asking him to do so much and he does his best to do it, which is pretty tight.” New Orleans Saints Defensive Back P.J. Williams Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, December 23, 2019

When is the last time you played that much safety in an NFL game?

“That's my first time playing safety in an NFL game. That was my first time and (the) last time I played safety was in high school. It’s definitely crazy”

How much practice did you do for it and did you feel comfortable out there?

“I felt pretty comfortable, but I think I got like one day of practice, like really about two or three plays to be exact this week. I felt comfortable. Just knowing the defense, knowing where I had to be, and the coaches did a good job like in meetings all week of explaining things to me and the situations that I'll be in and stuff like that. I was pretty comfortable.”

What was the thought when you saw your teammates go down in the secondary?

“Yeah, it happened and coach came up to me, he's like, you probably going to have to play safety. My eyes opened real wide and he was like, okay and then during the week you never really think that you’re going to really end up playing it. They told me during the week and okay well I have to play safety. It happened. But you don’t expect those things (to) happen. You’re not really locked in on (if) I am going to have to play safety until it happens.”

How do you feel like you guys held up in the secondary with the injuries?

“I felt like we held up pretty good. We had a few little mishaps, but I feel like we definitely held up. Coaches did a great job of putting us in the right positions and changing things around. We had a lot of guys playing a lot of positions. I feel like we held up pretty good.”

What do you see from C.J. Gardner-Johnson, he can give up a big play and then make up for it later?

“Oh yeah, definitely, he’s definitely playing at a high level. That is mainly coming from his confidence. To play at a high level in this league you need to have a lot of

confidence and he goes out there confident every day. Even if he might not know something, he’s playing fast and just with confidence. That helps you make plays.”

Are you more disconnected playing safety, compared to the slot where you’re in the middle of the action?

“Yeah, it's a little different, but as the game went on I started to feel a little better, just knowing what I had to do and you have to know you are really the last man at the fence. You (have to) play it a little differently. It is definitely different, but I did not feel that off. I definitely, as the game went on felt a lot better.”

Do things just happen faster when you’re playing the slot?

“Yeah, definitely your eyes are between two places when you’re up close, when you’re back there, you have to see the whole field.”
