It may be his birthday but it won’t be much of a birthday weekend celebration for Drew Brees if the Saints defense doesn’t do its part and get after Tom Brady.
Many Saints fans wonder whether Tom Brady, the one guy you oftentimes do not want to see in the playoffs, is saving his best for last when it comes to facing New Orleans.
The New Orleans Saints’ defense dominated the Chicago Bears in the NFC Wild Card in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Jan. 10, to move on to the NFC Divisional round of the playoffs.
Sometime between Sunday, Jan. 10, and early February, Drew Brees will throw his final pass as a New Orleans Saint. Here's a tribute to the record-shattering future first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback.
Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who missed the regular season finale against the Panthers due to COVID-19, has hinted that he will be available against the Bears.
The Saints’ defensive unit believes it has been battle-tested enough to earn the cliche’, “defense wins championships.” It finished the regular season ranked in the top five of every major statistical category.
Four of the 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2021 have ties to Louisiana. They are led by quarterback Peyton Manning, who was born in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Saints hope to have star running back Alvin Kamara and the whole gang back for their opening-round playoff contest against the Chicago Bears in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Jan. 10.
Former LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson and guard Damien Lewis have been named starters on PFF’s 2020 NFL All-Rookie Team. Saints tight end Adam Trautman also earned a spot.

Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and the New Orleans Saints’ defense intercepted the Carolina Panthers five times and in the regular season finale in Charlotte, N.C. to take home the win and the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
The New Orleans Saints have placed running back Alvin Kamara on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the team confirmed Friday, Jan. 1. He will miss Sunday’s game against the Panthers and the first playoff game is in question.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his record-tying performance in the team’s win over the Vikings. It is Kamara’s first time winning the honor.
The Saints are coming off a 52-point explosion against the Minnesota Vikings but there were still a few throws Brees would like to have back. Despite those miscues, No. 9 did become the first player in NFL history to reach 80,000 yards through the air.
Alvin Kamara rushed for 155 yards and six touchdowns in the Saints’ win over the Vikings in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Christmas Day. His six rushing touchdowns set a new franchise record and tied an NFL record.
The Saints certainly have their share of walking wounded within the receiving corps and Michael Thomas isn’t the only receiver now on injured reserve. The team added Tre’Quan Smith to IR on Thursday.
Some of the top priorities for the Black and Gold this week are rest and relaxation, especially for the defense following its 92-play performance against the Chiefs. Seven players didn't practice or were limited.
The Saints’ offense was out of step most of the day, not getting a first down until the second quarter. The wide receivers also had difficulty separating from the Chiefs’ defenders, leaving Drew Brees with no targets.
The New Orleans Saints fell to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Dec. 13, snapping a nine-game win streak. The Saints’ defense also snapped a 55-game streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher. The Eagles had two players run the ball for more than 100 yards.
Drew Brees is eligible to return for the Saints’ upcoming game with the Eagles but if he isn't activated, Taysom Hill will have a chance to go 4-0 in his absence. Jalen Hurts will start for Philadelphia.
The Saints have won all three games with Taysom Hill starting in place of Drew Brees but Brees is eligible to return from injured reserve this week and have clinched a playoff berth but Sean Payton maintained it is a small step in the journey.
The Saints just played the Falcons less than two weeks ago, so how does that change game-planning and preparation to duplicate the dominant performance we saw the first time?
The New Orleans Saints traveled to Denver to take on the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 29, and came away with their first win at Mile High Stadium since 1994.
The Saints would love to stay atop the NFC the rest of the season, lock up the No. 1 seed as soon as possible, and get some rest before the playoff run, and if the defense keeps playing the way it has been recently, it certainly provides them with the best chance to do so.
A once struggling New Orleans Saints defense has now become the tough group many expected before the season began. The recent addition of former LSU linebacker Kwon Alexander certainly appears to be paying dividends for the Black and Gold.
The New Orleans Saints hosted division rival, the Atlanta Falcons, in the Superdome on Sunday, Nov. 22, and came away with their seventh straight win of the season.
