Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saints Game Preview
Brees has authored many great performances in his remarkable career here in New Orleans but none gutsier than his 412-yard, three-touchdown masterpiece on Sunday. With the 71-yard TD pass to Brandin Cooks, Brees tied Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers with the most 70-yard TD passes (16)…

The Saints did just that with a 38-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday in the Mercedes Benz Superdome.
After a holding penalty negated a 25-yard run by Gray, Allen Robinson showed why he is the first alternate for the Pro Bowl as he got behind the Saints defense and took it to the house for a 90-yard touchdown pass, longest of his career. The Jaguars only scored six points in the first half and that put them in a massive hole with the defense giving the game away on four-straight scores allowed to the Saints.
“I have every intention of playing, yes”.
Brees is due to count $30 million against the Saints salary cap in 2016 and reportedly won’t be on the roster unless he takes a hometown discount.
Jacksonville still needs a lot of help in the secondary, and if they want stop the super powered passing offense of the Saints, they will need to effectively rush the quarterback on a more consistent basis.
The Saints enter Sunday’s game against Jacksonville with a 5-9 overall record.
With Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints have been operating an annual offensive powerhouse.
Jacksonville finished the scoring on Bortles’ 20-yard touchdown pass to Hurns late in the fourth quarter. Later in the game, Hurns would set a record for most yards in his first two seasons by an undrafted player. Tim Hightower continued to run hard, finishing with 122 yards and two scores.
Coach Sean Payton had also decided that C.J. Spiller had yet to regain the form he possesses before preseason knee surgery, so he was held out, replaced by newly re-acquired running back Travaris Cadet, who’d been claimed off of waivers this past week. The Jaguars have struggled on the road and although they make it interesting, they can’t pull through at the end.
“Maybe we can be more strict”, he said of his dealings with the players.
Bortles, meanwhile, will seek to add a share of another Jaguars single-season record while keeping his team’s faint playoff hopes alive.
“Communication is something that you grow with your defense throughout the year, and I feel like that’s something that hasn’t really come along with us as well as we would like as a defense”, linebacker Dan Skuta said. He had 341 yards, three TDs passing last week…. “I know his foot was hurting him, but he played very well”.

“What’s important for all young guys is that it’s a growth process throughout the season and I know my goal is to finish these last two games strong”, said Anthony, who’s been credited with 101 total tackles, a sack, an interception and forced fumble this season to go with his blocked extra-point return for two points.
