Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford became the latest grateful recipient of the Saints’ charity, throwing for 254 yards and three touchdowns in surgically directing the Lions to a 35-27 victory over the Saints on Monday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Recent national polls show that the real-estate mogul Donald Trump is leading the race with a support rate of around 39 percent. Today, I’m suspending my campaign for president. “I believe we have run a campaign you can be proud of”.
Stafford shredded the Saints’ porous secondary in the first half, completing 12 of 13 passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns as Detroit raced to a 21-3 halftime lead.

Rice also looked older than 12 and his toy gun could not be easily distinguished from a real Colt M1911, officials said. A grand jury on Monday declined to criminally indict the two officers in Tamir’s killing in November 2014.
“Obviously, if you complete 88 percent, that’s rare”, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “It is very hard to do that versus air”. He did a nice job. “He was huge for us and spread it around quite a bit”.

The 23-year-old still looks lightweight but he was positive on the ball and played some nice passes out to Trippier in particular. Odion Ighalo is certain to stay at Watford beyond the January transfer window, according to captain Troy Deeney.
“For me as an offensive player, and really as a team, we deal with injuries like this all the time”. “I’m just glad that they called my number again to make up for it”.
The Saints are 5-9 this season, and will prepare for their home finale next Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 36-year-old Brees was hurt during the second quarter on Monday night while avoiding defensive pressure, but he returned to throw three touchdown passes in the second half. Head coach Sean Payton is still talking as if that’s a possibility.
“It’s been a little tough”, Walker said of overcoming the injuries, “but it’s good to see the guys out here and stuff”. Wearing an immobilizing boot after the game, he said he would have an MRI on Tuesday.
Cooks produced his best performance of the season and his career with 10 catches for 124 yards and a TD.
As he did in October, Payton pointed out that there have been rumors about him leaving the Saints almost every season and that it has never been true. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t match them step for step”.
The Saints don’t practice until tomorrow, so they won’t know until then if Brees can still go. They started fast on us. Brees was unable to manufacture enough offense to get over the inept play of a young and woeful defense.
Even Detroit’s writers were at a loss for words at how the Saints managed to come up empty on their last possession of the first half. Brees ranks behind only Peyton Manning (71,871), Brett Favre (71,838) and Dan Marino (61,361) in career yards passing.

The referees concluded Cooks was down a yard short of the end zone, which gave New Orleans a first down with 57 seconds left in the half. Manning, 38, saw the same doctor as Brees (Dr. Robert Anderson) and is uncertain as to whether he will make a return either this season or at any point in the future.
