The Saints could end up keeping both Payton and Brees and trying to make another run of things in New Orleans next season. Later in the game, Hurns would set a record for most yards in his first two seasons by an undrafted player.

Wenger Compares Ozil To Bergkamp
Mesut Ozil is probably your co-front runner for Premier League player of the year as we’ve now reached the midpoint of the season. Congrats on your record, Petr, and hopefully we’ll get you a trophy with red and white ribbons on it at the end of this season.
Two of the most inspirational players on the roster, cornerback Delvin Breaux and running back Tim Hightower, each had big games.
Ram Mandir controversy : Congress seeks BJP’s answer on fund details for
According to Opposition parties, the move is pre-planned by BJP to polarize the voters along religious lines in the run-up to 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. “Two trucks of stones have been unloaded at Ram Sewak Puram, a VHP property in Ayodhya, and “Shila Pujan” (praying of the stones) has been performed by Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, the president of Ram Janam Bhumi Nyas”, VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma had said.
COACHING: A. With his team out of the playoff picture and all kinds of reports circulating about his future, not to mention a hobbled quarterback in Drew Brees, Sean Payton had his team ready to play against an improved Jaguars team when some teams might have packed it in. I just felt like (Sunday’s) performance defensively, we didn’t reach that standard, so that makes it unacceptable.
China stocks fall on economy, share supply worries; HK also down
The ChiNext Index, which tracks China’s NASDAQ-style board of growth enterprises, lost 2.12 percent to close at 2,735.49 points. The blue-chip CSI300 index tanked 2.9 percent to 3727.63 while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 2.6 percent to 3533.78 points.
I’m willing to let Mickey Loomis and maybe Sean Payton roll the dice, extend Brees, create cap space, and try to have one last run with Brees. If the Saints were still in playoff contention, Saints fans would write songs, poems and build shrines to Brees’ performance. His counterpart Blake Bortles also had a good day with 368 yards and four touchdowns, but two interceptions put the Jaguars in a hole they were unable to climb out of.
“When you have an opportunity that I’ve been given, you just want to take advantage of it”, Hightower said. What it comes down to is how much the team is willing to give up to get him.
“You’re so focused on the game, it’s locked in and laser focus”, said Brees, who played with a creative tape job to limit the stress on the arch of his foot. He’s completed 68 percent of his passes, thrown for 4,547 yards and 31 touchdowns and has only been picked off 11 times.
The Saints spoiled Atlanta’s 6-0 record earlier in the year, which led to Atlanta’s downslide. With his 71-yard TD pass to Cooks, Drew Brees joined Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers as the only National Football League quarterbacks to have 16 career passes of at least 70 yards…. That all happened to the Jaguars … in the first half. Jacksonville allowed the Saints to convert 8-of-13 third downs on their way to 537 total yards. The Saints scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and got a 37-yard field by Kai Forbath late in the second quarter to take a 24-point lead. I just think that it looks worse. Even newly reacquired running back Travaris Cadet had a 44-yard TD reception. This time on the two-point conversion, Clay Harbor got in to make it a 38-27 ball game. At that rate, he was on pace to throw for over 500 yards.
Hurns’ production made him the second 1,000-yard receiver for Jacksonville this season, joining fellow second-year receiver Robinson.
“A guy like that, man, if he can walk, he’s going to play”, Cooks said.

That being said, there’s been prior speculation by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora that while Payton may not be fired by the Saints at season’s end, he could be traded to another NFL team for draft picks.
