New Orleans – The Saints waived Isa Abdul-Quddus during the 2013 postseason, but before the Lions safety returned to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Monday night for the first time since his three years with New Orleans, he said he doesn’t hold any animosity toward his former team.

‘Unspecified Threat’ Shuts Down Los Angeles Public Schools
NY had also received a similar threat on Monday and chose to keep schools open after deciding the threat was not credible. LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines echoed the point about the broad nature of the threat affecting the decision.
“His stats said it all – 22 of 25, which is (near) perfection”, said Detroit receiver Golden Tate, who caught touchdown passes of 1 and 5 yards to help the Lions (5-9) build a 28-3 lead early in the second half and then hang on. But Detroit finished out the first half with two more touchdown drives – a four-play, 65-yarder that ended on a 4-yard pass from Stafford to Michael Burton, and a 10-play, 69-yarder that concluded on a 5-yard pass from Stafford to Tate – and the Saints closed out the half in frustration.

New Orleans responded with Brees’ 27-yard touchdown pass to Cooks and closed the gap a little more with Kai Forbath’s short field goal after the Lions made a clutch stop on a third-and-goal from the 4-yard line.
Cooks caught 10 passes for 124 yards in the game, both career highs. “It is very hard to do that versus air”.
Matthew Stafford had one of the better games of his National Football League career Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. When your defense yields a first down every two plays, you’re not going to beat many teams.
“We came up short tonight”, Brees said. He got off to a bit of a rough start – he was sacked in the first series – but stayed with it. “We just knew we were going to have to score some points …”
“(Kelemete) was in for the prior play and the explanation I got was he never reported. We knew if we got in the red zone we’d have a chance to put some points up, ” Caldwell said. Even though kicker Matt Prater missed a 38-yard field goal – his first miss of the season after converting on all 17 previous attempts – the Saints had just nine seconds left.
Just when the Lions thought they had this game in the bag, the Saints came roaring back behind Brees. On fourth down, Brees hit Colston at the goal line, but New Orleans was flagged for an illegal man downfield, ending the half.
“Tough scenario there at the end of the first half where you feel like you have a touchdown”, Brees said. “It was getting stiff, but we were able to manage”.
“I think that the second half is the proof that effort and energy maybe aren’t the issue”.
Saints quarterback DREW BREES (34 of 52 for 341 yards, 3 touchdown passes and no interceptions) once again had a marvelous night against a defense that centered their defensive scheme around him and his passing game weapons.
