Brees was almost ideal in the second half Sunday as the Saints erased a 17-0 halftime deficit to take a 24-23 lead with 1 minute, 4 seconds remaining on Wil Lutz’s 43-yard field goal.

Panthers players were able to get on Twitter to rub salt in wounds so quickly because they were at home watching the game.
The second-seeded Minnesota Vikings stunned the New Orleans Saints on Sunday by winning 29-24 on 61-yard touchdown reception by Stefon Diggs with no time remaining. Keenum trusted Diggs to make something happen and he was rewarded.
Bradford and the Vikings will play for the NFC championship next Sunday at 6:40 p.m. ET on FOX. There’s only 10 seconds left.
“We’re fighting and clawing and scratching just trying to get the ball down the field”, Keenum noted ater the game.
Williams might not ever get over this play…
The ESPN college football analyst tweeted a heartfelt message to the Saints’ defensive back. Yes, Flacco’s best target was a 37-year old tight end that was well short of the first-down marker, simply because he has no other options he actually trusts. The Eagles also defeated the Falcons 15-10, despite the absence of Carson Wentz, B. Foles later said in the locker room that the team “is the underdog” and could very well head to Superbowl 52 in 2 weeks.
As we all know, the rest is history. But he tried to gather himself and took complete ownership of his miscue that buried the Saints’ season. It’s insane to make them walk out there and take a knee.
“I mean Drew Brees is one of the best quarterbacks ever”, Travis Williams, a Saints fan from MS, said. Due to their defense, because of Diggs and yes, even because of Case Keenum.
“Some guys jumped on me”, the coach said.

Saints fans were still reeling after the game that kept them on the edge of their seats. “And he came down and made a great play, and that’s just on me”, he explained. “Obviously he’d like to have that back, but he’s been a good player for us all year”.
