His beleaguered franchise just might be ready to do the same.

Last week, the Saints dropped a 35-34 home game to the Oakland Raiders. I was costing our team points so coach did what he had to do.
“We’ve all been there”, Carr said.
The Saints are, without much question, the leagues worst team against the pass heading into the season. “It is something that works and each week we’ll pay attention to, but he’s really on top of what we are doing offensively”, Payton said. So we’ve got a new offense.
“Like Coach (Del Rio) said, we’re learning how to win. Now he said, ‘Unless it’s for the Super Bowl, stop flipping over people, too.’ I think everyone’s heart dropped when I did that, I think mine did too”. In 2015, he rushed for only 112 yards and no scores.
“I definitely have worked on it”, Carr said. “I was going about my regular Tuesday recovery day when everything happened”. “I’m always going to do what’s best for the team. that’s all it is”. That was his last play before getting pulled. Atlanta finished 8-8 and missed the postseason for the third straight season.
Beckham was kept out of the end zone last week but Cruz and Shepard made it in, upping the intensity of the drumbeat that this could be a three-ring passing circus. Coach made his decision and did what was best for the team.
Denver’s police chief said he talked to Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall about riding along with officers after the player’s decision to kneel during the national anthem on opening night to protest racial oppression and police brutality. Will the Falcons be able to play turnover-free football again?
“It’s not like we came out today with the intent to set a few records just to shut some people up”, Brees told ESPN after the game. Will Mohamed Sanu and Julio Jones be healthy for the game? Brees eclipsed 400 yards passing for the 14th time in his 16-year career, finishing with 423 yards and four touchdown passes.
The winning team in the last four games between the Giants and the Saints has scored at least 48 points, marking the first time in National Football League history two opponents have had such high-output victories against each other.

Regardless of his health, Del Rio is concerned about figuring how to match up with Jones. In all seriousness, Brees is just a smart quarterback and in Sean Payton’s offense, which incorporates a lot of quick, short and intermediate passes, what he mostly needs is his brain and a decent-to- good offensive line. I had a pair that I’ve since college, I think some Sol Republics.
