Asked if he remembers that game, Robison said, “Yep”. The Vikings have shuffled their guard spots over the last few weeks, and the Saints defense was able to pressure Case Keenum last Sunday. “And I think more and more people are starting to see, too, that he’s more than good enough to do it”. He completed 24 of 38 passes for 237 yards and four touchdowns in his first start against the New York Giants but then was terrible in two starts, completing 23 of 49 passes for 202 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Jacksonville allowed just 616 yards against tight end during the regular season, the fourth-best figure in football, but struggled with Pittsburgh’s Vance McDonald last week. Brady has thrown 1,378 postseason passes.
