Falcons Win In Wild Finish After Brees Interception And Payton Penalty
Atlanta overcame three Matt Ryan interceptions to come back and beat New Orleans, thanks to Saints quarterback Drew Brees throwing his own awful interception with his team in game-tying field goal range followed by Sean Payton drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that prevented his team from e...
Just Try To Bring Down Alvin Kamara
Saints rookie running back Alvin Kamara has turned into an absolute force this season as he’s made tacklers miss left and right. Chances are your friend won’t shut up about how he’s rescued their fantasy football team. (Great move, you’re the Howie Roseman of your league. Now fuck off.) The 5-foot-1...
Saints Get Special Teams Excellence From A QB Named Taysom
For a long time, the backup Saints QB has been a cushy gig. Aside from one emergency Luke McCown start in 2015, New Orleans quarterbacks other than Drew Brees have thrown 10 passes this decade. So, third-stringer Taysom Hill’s best chance to actually play is at a position other than quarterback. Thi...
Coby Fleener Stayed On The Field After This Helmet-To-Helmet Hit
The Saints’ Coby Fleener took the textbook definition of a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless receiver from Blake Countess in the fourth quarter of the Rams-Saints game, but despite the apparent damage caused, Fleener got right back up....
Drew Brees Led A Truly Improbable Comeback
Drew Brees and the ascendent New Orleans Saints were having a decidedly “meh” game for most of the day against Washington. They weren’t getting completely destroyed, but with a little over four minutes to go, with Washington up 15, it seemed safe to just call this an off day for New Orleans....
The Path Of Least Resistance Is Through The Bills' Rush Defense
Drew Brees is getting up in years (he’s 38 now), and there are some doubts about how far he can carry the newly promising Saints. But as long as he’s playing the Bills, anything appears possible—even a touchdown scramble....
How The Saints' Defense Finally Got Its Act Together
Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses. But the Saints have since won six straight, and that beleaguered D has surrendered more than 200 yards through the air just ...
Mike Evans Lays Out Marshon Lattimore With Cheap Shot To The Back
Tempers appear to be hot all throughout the NFL this afternoon, as not long after A.J. Green went full GSP on Jalen Ramsey in Jacksonville, the Buccaneers’ Mike Evans came out of nowhere to lay a cheap shot on the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore during a stoppage in play in New Orleans. Lattimore was exch...

This Might Be The Last Year Of The Saints As We Know Them, Thank Goodness

Adrian Peterson Wanted To Run It Up The Vikings' "Donkey"
Adrian Peterson’s revenge game wasn’t meant to be. In his first game as a member of the New Orleans Saints, going against his former Minnesota Vikings squad, Peterson finished with just six carries for 18 yards. The only memorable moment he produced was getting caught yelling something at head coach...

Saints Lineman Nick Fairley Out For The Year With Heart Condition
Nick Fairley had the best season of his career last year for the Saints, racking up 6.5 sacks in 16 starts and earning himself a new $28 million contract with New Orleans. However, the Saints placed him on the non-football injury list this afternoon after doctors evaluated the heart condition that F...
The Saints Have The Right Offense For Adrian Peterson
Adrian Peterson’s long exile has ended in New Orleans. After trying very hard to drum up interest—and finding few takers—the former greatest running back in the world will find himself in a timeshare, on a relatively cheap contract. It can’t be what Peterson was hoping to sign, but from a pure footb...
Mark Ingram Says He Was Barred From London Club For Being "Too Urban"
The New Orleans Saints are currently in England on a press tour meant to drum up enthusiasm for upcoming NFL games that will be played in London.
