What an exciting game tonight as the New Orleans Saints defeat Atlanta; the team with the best record in the NFC, and securing a return trip to the playoffs. For Saints fans, we can make two statements that just make us smile: Defending Super Bowl Champs and headed back to the playoffs! And by the way, this is the first time since 1991-1992 that the Saints are in playoffs in back to back years. Simply outstanding.
No matter what, Drew Brees is the man. He had some bad plays tonight including a very stupid interception. But just like the title of his book, Coming Back Stronger, tonight, Drew Brees came back strong and led his team to victory. And let's not forget our defense. After being gashed a week ago, this effort was stellar. The goal line stand, the two turnovers and coming up big on 3rd down late in game, all excellent efforts. And almost no Atlanta running game. Great effort.
And let's mention Pierre Thomas who finally came up big tonight. His clutch first down sealed the deal. And I'm even going to mention Garrett Hartley. The maligned kicker who cost us game 1 against Atlanta, hit a huge FG early on and has been solid lately.
So Saints fans rejoice. The New Orleans Saints, the World Champions of NFL football, are back in the playoffs and playing great football on the road.
Do I hear it? ..........the Saints are coming, the Saints are coming................
