THE MATCHUP The Saints will look to close their 2018 regular season in successful fashion today when they host the Carolina Pan-thers in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints have posted 6-1 record at home this season. In the six wins, the Saints have an average margin of victory of 15.4 points per game. The 37.0 points per game average in the first seven home games lead the NFL, while they averaged 416.0 yards per games on offense.

New Orleans will come into Sunday’s game with an NFL-best 13-2 record after a dramatic come-from-behind 31-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The win clinched the NFC’s number one seed in the postseason for the Black and Gold, giving them homefield advantage.

Offense, defense and special teams all played an im-portant role in a fourth quarter that saw the Saints come back from a 28-24 deficit to punch their ticket as the num-ber one seed. Trailing by four in the final period, first Saints S Kurt Coleman stripped the ball from Steelers RB Stevan Ridley and it was recovered by DE Alex Okafor. After New Orleans’ next drive ended with a blocked field goal, LB Craig Robertson snuffed out a fake punt attempt. QB Drew Brees then engineered a ten-play, 46-yard drive that ended with a two-yard TD pass to WR Michael Thom-as. The win was ensured when with 32 seconds left, DT Sheldon Rankins forced a fumble that was recovered by LB Demario Davis.

Thomas had 11 receptions for 109 yards, as he set a new career-high with a league-best 120 receptions in 2018, with his 316 grabs the most by an NFL player in his first three seasons. With 107 total yards from scrimmage

and two touchdowns are the most in club history, his 18 TDs have tied the club record and he joins Herschel Walk-er as only the second NFL player with 1,500 yards rushing and 1,500 yards receiving in his first two seasons..

Sunday marks the ninth time since 1999 that the Saints have closed out the regular season against the Panthers. The NFC rivals have met 47 prior times to today. The Pan-thers have a 24-23 lead in the regular season, with New Orleans capturing the NFC Wild Card Playoff last year. In the regular season, the Saints have scored 1,025 points, while surrendering 1,023. Since 2006, the Panthers have captured five NFC South titles, while the Panthers have gotten four. These numbers prove how this has been the closest division rival that the Saints have had in their 52-season history.

The last time the two squads faced off the Saints es-caped Bank of America Stadium with a 12-9 win on Mon-day, December 17.

In the win over Carolina, late in the third quarter, S Vonn Bell forced a fumble by Carolina WR D.J. Moore deep in New Orleans territory that was recovered by LB A.J. Klein with the Panthers leading 7-6. QB Drew Brees then engi-neered an 11-play, 84-yard drive that ended with a 16-yard rushing touchdown by Kamara to give the Saints their first lead, which they would hold onto. On the game-winning drive, Brees completed four-of-four passes for 32 yards.

The New Orleans defense held an opponent at 17 points or under for the sixth consecutive game and to 247 total net yards. Davis led New Orleans with eight tackles, one sack and two passes defensed. In addition to the big play by S Vonn Bell and Klein, CB Eli Apple recorded a pick in the end zone near the end of the first half.

THE COACHES

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 125-78 overall record (.616), including a 7-5 postseason mark (.583) after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival. Payton holds both the club’s top win to-tal and winning percentage. He continues to represent the Saints as the model of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the NFL. Only the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) and the Cincinnati Bengals’ Marvin Lewis (2003) have been with the their teams longer. Payton is also one of just seven active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victo-ry. The others are Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Oakland Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), the Baltimore Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Philadel-phia Eagles’ Doug Pederson and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2018 Saints edition has posted a 13-2 record and have clinched the NFC South title, the best rec-ord in the National Football League. New Orleans’ ten-game winning streak was the second-longest in club histo-ry and the longest streak in the NFL this season. The streak only sits behind in club record books, New Orleans’ 13-0 start under Payton in 2009, the season when they captured Super Bowl XLIV. The 2017 Saints squad yielded an 11-5 regular season record, producing their first playoff berth since 2013, behind a squad led by quarterback Drew Brees offensively and defensive end Cameron Jordan de-fensively, this team featured seven players selected to the Pro Bowl, tied for the most in club history and four draft picks selected to the PFWA All-Rookie Team, two more than any other club. With running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the 2017 Saints were the first team to have both the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year since 1967. The Saints defense saw improvement in virtually every major statistical category. New Orleans moved up ten spots in total defense, including from 32nd to 15th against the pass. After ranking 31st in opponent points per game in 2016, New Orleans moved up to tenth in 2017, surrendering only 20.4 points per game. Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA histo-ry. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in September of 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born December 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Na-perville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Ron Rivera became the fourth coach in Panthers histo-ry on Jan. 11, 2011. A two-time NFL Coach of the Year, Rivera inherited a 2-14 Carolina team as a rookie head coach in 2011 and guided it back to relevance in 2015 as they won their second NFC Championship in franchise his-tory, third consecutive NFC South division title and ap-peared in Super Bowl 50. Carolina finished the season with a franchise-best 17-2 record, including home playoff victo-ries over Seattle in the Divisional Round and Arizona in the NFC Championship game. Overall, he’s posted a 70-56-1 (.555) record in the regular season and a 3-4 (.429) mark in the postseason. Before joining the Panthers, Rivera worked with the San Diego Chargers from 2007-10, coach-ing inside linebackers before taking over as defensive coor-dinator midway through the 2008 season. In 2010, San Diego led the NFL with an average of 271.6 total yards al-lowed per game and gave up a league-low 177.8 passing yards per game. From 2004-06, Rivera oversaw the Chica-go defense, guiding the unit to two top-five finishes in the league. In 2006, the Bears defense led the NFL with 44 takeaways, helping propel Chicago to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI. In 2005, the Bears went 43 consecutive quarters without allowing more than seven points—the longest streak in the NFL since 1969. Rivera was also line-backers coach for the Eagles (1999-2003) and defensive quality control coach for the Bears (1997-98).

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft, free agency and trade to the 2018 Saints offensive line:

LT Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead im-pressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He has opened 54 regular season games for New Orleans and four postseason contests and received his first Pro Bowl selection in 2018, having opened ten contests.

T/G Jermon Bushrod - A fourth round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Towson, Bushrod developed into a starting left tackle by his third season and opened 62 regu-lar season contests at left tackle. Bushrod returns to serve as a top backup off the bench. He filled in for an injured Bushrod seamlessly in a Nov. 11 win at Cincinnati for three quarters and then opened the next five games.

T/G Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was considered one of the top college offensive linemen in 2014. In his final season in Palo Alto as a junior, Peat started all 13 games at left tackle and was named a first-team All-American by ESPN.com, The Sporting News and SI.com and received second-team honors from the Associated Press. In his first three seasons, Peat has played in 52 games with 47 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2017, Peat took a massive step forward, opening 15 contests at left guard and left tackle, also opening the NFC Divisional Playoff at left guard. Headed into his fourth season, Peat possesses both a veteran’s experience and youthful athleti-cism, making him a key to the Saints’ future success. Showing his versatility in Sunday’s win vs. Pittsburgh he played at left guard, left tackle and right tackle.


OFFENSIVE NOTES

20

RT Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their second first round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to snag Ramczyk out of the University of Wisconsin, viewed by many as one of the best linemen in the entire draft. The 6-6, 314 lb. tack-le moved from Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point to Wis-consin, and in just one season with the Badgers, he flour-ished. Ramczyk started all 14 games in 2016 and was a consensus All-American, blocking for an offense that gained 203.1 rushing yards per game and allowing just one sack. Ramczyk has continued his impact in year two in holding down the right side following after opening all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie.

C Max Unger - After being acquired by the Saints via trade in the 2015 offseason, Max Unger has anchored the middle of the line for the past four seasons, starting all 61 contests he’s appeared in at center and serving as a three-time team captain. A second round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2009, Unger has been named an Associated Press first-team All-Pro in 2012 and is a three-time Pro Bowler. The Hawaii native’s opened all 128 regular season contests he has played in since 2009. RG Larry Warford - Originally selected by Detroit in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft (65th overall) out of Ken-tucky, this sixth-year blocker brought size, strength and foot quickness to the Saints’ line in 2017, as he started all 14 regular season games and both postseason contests at right guard. New Orleans’ rush offense responded to his addition, as the ground game finished fifth in the NFL as he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. C/G Cameron Tom - Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2017, former Catholic (Baton Rouge) High School standout was elevated from the prac-tice squad to 53-man roster midway through his rookie year. Tom’s development came into play on Oct. 21 at Baltimore, where he was sent into the lineup at left guard in place of an injured Josh LeRibeus in a come-from-behind victory. C/G Will Clapp - A technically proficient player, who through the combination of size, strength and intelligence, was a three-year starter on the LSU offensive line, starting all 36 games that he appeared in (13 at center, 12 at left guard, 11 at right guard), earning first-team All-SEC honors at guard and center. Blocking for 1,000-yard rushers in each of his three college seasons, Clapp settled in at center in 2017, where he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a Rimington Trophy finalist. Clapp made his debut at left guard in the Dec. 17 win at Carolina and played at left guard in Sunday’s win vs. Pittsburgh.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last four NFL Drafts from 2015-18, New Orleans has shown a commitment to improving the defense, spend-ing 17-of-28 picks on that side of the ball. With nine picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Saints picked six defensive players, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine defensive players in a 12-round selection meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the players selected by New Orleans from 2015-18 on the 53-man roster:

LB Alex Anzalone, Florida (D3b-17) - A 6-3, 241 lb. line-backer, Anzalone showcased plenty of potential at Florida. As a senior in 2016, he started the first eight contests for the Gators until a broken forearm prematurely ended his final campaign in Gainesville. Despite the shortened sea-son, Anzalone still ranked third on the team with 53 tackles and racked up three sacks and one fumble recovery. The three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient plays with both physicality and intelligence and made an immediate impact as a starter on the outside from day one in 2017 where he recorded 14 tackles, one sack and one pass de-fensed for being placed on Injured Reserve in Week Five. Anzalone has played in all 15 games and started six con-tests on the inside and the outside in 2018, filling up the stat sheet by posting 54 tackles (40 solo), one interception, two sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles.

S Vonn Bell, Ohio State (D2b-16) - Selected in the sec-ond round (61st overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft, Bell was a consensus All-American and one of the top rated defensive backs in the NFL Draft. As a senior, the Rossville, Ga. na-tive was a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist after recording 65 tackles and adding two interceptions, one brought back for a touchdown, one fumble recovery and 11 passes de-fensed. Bell has translated that collegiate success to the NFL with ease in his first three seasons, appearing in 47 games with 32 starts and filling up the stat sheet with 256 tackles (172 solo), 6.5 sacks, ten passes defensed, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

DE Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio (D1-18) - Davenport joined the Saints with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after showing potential and production as a pass rusher during his college career at Texas-San Antonio. In four seasons, Davenport posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he captured Conference USA Defensive Play-er of the Year. Davenport’s strength on the line should be a valuable asset for the Saints front, playing an important role in the club’s packages in 2018, recording four sacks and a forced fumble.

DT Tyeler Davison, Fresno State (D5b-15) - This run-stopping widebody defensive lineman played in 53 career games at Fresno State from 2011-14 and made 28.5 stops for a loss and 14.5 sacks. After moving into the starting lineup in 2016, in 2018, Davison’s played an important role in the middle on a defense ranked first In opponent yards per game and third in opponent yards per carry, posting 23 stops, two sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-DEFENSIVE DRAFT

Defensive end Trey Hendrickson, Florida Atlantic (D3c-17) - This former third round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (103rd overall) out of Florida Atlantic brought his raw talent, size, strength and speed to a youthful Saints defen-sive line. In his first season as a pro the rotational pass rusher appeared in 14 regular season games posting 14 tackles (eight solo), two sacks for 15 yards lost, two passes defensed and one forced fumble.

CB Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State (D1a-17) - The 11th overall selection in the 2017 NFL draft and the first corner taken possesses all the traits of a lockdown defender. With his agile, fluid style, Lattimore has the ability to shut down the best wide receivers. He played a critical role in the Black and Gold pass defense unit as a rookie in 2017, as he moved into the starting lineup immediately. In October, he became the first Saints rookie since 2000 to capture NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month, when he had 16 tack-les, two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery and also captured the award in December. For the season, he finished with 53 stops, five picks, to lead NFL rookies and the Saints, tying a team rookie record, a club-best 18 passes de-fensed, a forced fumble and a recovery. Lattimore was the first Saints corner selected to the Pro Bowl since 1995 and was selected as Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year. His five takeaways (two interceptions and three fum-ble recoveries) in 2018 lead the team.

DT David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Lagos, Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becoming the first player from the University of Manitoba to be drafted into the NFL. Despite being extraordinarily new to football, the 2016 fourth round draft pick became a critical member on the interior of the Saints defensive front in 2017, playing in all 16 games for the second consecutive season with six starts, making 40 tackles and two sacks, while adding three more stops in the postseason. Onyemata has a career-high four sacks in 2018.

DT Sheldon Rankins, Louisville (D1-16) - Selected 12th overall in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Georgia native played in 46 games along the line at Louisville from 2012-15, producing 133 total tackles (72 solo), 31.5 tackles for loss and 18 sacks. On Nov. 12, 2017, Rankins recorded his first career interception. In the week 15 win vs. Atlanta, he closed out the contest with a sack. In the NFC Divisional Playoff at Minnesota, Rankins added his first career post-season takedown. In 2018, Rankins is ranked second on the Saints with eight sacks. He has posted 40 stops and made a game-saving sensational strip in the fourth quarter that resulted in a forced fumble recovered by LB Demario Davis to preserve a come-from-behind win..

S Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior before declaring for the NFL Draft. In 2016, he tied for second in the confer-ence with five interceptions, despite missing two games due to injury. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of

speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the ball. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in 2017 as he made 70 tackles, four inter-ceptions and six passes defensed in 15 regular season games, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in two postseason contests. In 2018, he has posted 50 tackles (41 solo), two interceptions for 100 yards, three passes defensed, a forced fumble/fumble recovery and two special teams stops.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Williams’ ca-reer was initially limited in the beginning by missing all but two games his first two seasons with various injuries, but he rebounded from the adversity early in his career to come on strong in 2017, when he played in all 16 regular season games and both postseason contests. An experi-enced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners as a junior in 2014, Williams finished his college career with 123 tackles (82 solo), four interceptions and 18 passes defensed. Williams finished with 47 tackles, his first two career interceptions and nine passes defensed in 2017, while adding 52 more stops (42 solo), a 45-yard interception for a TD, a sack, nine passes defensed and a forced fumble in 2018 while serving primar-ily in the nickel cornerback role. Williams enjoyed his finest moment as a pro Oct. 28 at Minnesota, when his third quar-ter interception return for a 45-yard touchdown helped pace the Saints’ 30-20 victory earning him NFC Defensive Player of the Week, followed up by a career-high-tying three pass-es defensed in the win vs. the Rams, Nov. 4.

JUST KICKING IT

Between deep passes for touchdowns and athletic inter-ceptions, players often use their hands to produce the game’s flashiest plays. However, the players who use their feet often make the difference between winning and losing, between drilling clutch field goals or flipping the field with a well-executed punt. K Wil Lutz went undrafted in 2016, joining the Baltimore Ravens for training camp. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lutz joined the Black and Gold and immediately took on placekicking and kickoff duties. Lutz has kicked in 47 games, converting 87-of-100 field goal attempts (87.0 percent) and 146-of-151 PATs (96.7 percent). He has also recorded 168 touchbacks on 278 career kickoffs. His 87.0 percent field goal percentage is best among kickers with at least 50 made field goals in team history. He has kicked a field goal in a club-record 36 consecutive games, the sec-ond-longest streak in NFL history. In 2018, Lutz has made 28-of-30 field goal attempts, in-cluding a club-record 26 straight at one point, 50-of-51 PAT attempts and has recorded 61 touchbacks, also adding one special teams tackle. He ranks second in the National Foot-ball League in scoring with 134 points, his field goal accu-racy ranked third in the league and his 50 PATs rank sec-ond.

P Thomas Morstead was the first punter drafted by the Saints since 1984. The club’s fifth round draft choice (164th overall) in 2009 from Southern Methodist University, Mor-stead has been a weapon in the field position game with his strong leg, outstanding placement abilities and booming kickoffs. In ten seasons, he has a gross average of 47.0 on 565 punts with a 41.4 net and 198 punts inside the 20-yard line, while also booming 259 kickoffs in the end zone for touchbacks. Morstead is ranked 12th on the club’s all-time games played list with 156 regular season appearances and his consistency has carried over to the 2018 season, where he’s averaged a 47.0 gross punting average, a ca-reer-high 43.3 net punting average, with 14 dropped inside-the-20-yard line, ranking second in the league in net punt-ing average.

SWISS ARMY KNIFE

New Orleans QB Taysom Hill, in his second year with the club, has brought unheralded versatility to the Saints on both offense and special teams. A participant on every spe-cial teams unit except field goal and PAT, as well as a sig-nal-caller, runner and receiver on offense, Hill has aver-aged 24.9 yards per return on 14 kickoff returns, has five coverage stops to rank second on the team, completed a ten-yard pass on a fake punt in Week Four and blocked a punt on December 9 at Tampa Bay. Overall in 2018, Hill’s carried 34 times for 185 yards, ranked third on the team, with a club best 5.4 average and has completed three of six passes for 64 yards. The blocked punt against the Buc-caneers earned him Week 14 NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led the past two seasons by safety Chris Banjo and defensive back Justin Hardee. Hardee led the team with nine stops and a blocked punt recovered for a touchdown as a rookie in 2017 and Banjo finished with eight tackles and a forced fumble. In 2018, Hardee leads the team with a career-high ten stops, with Hill is ranked second with six stops apiece. Defensive end Alex Okafor also made a game-changing play at Atlanta, Sept. 23, when his third quarter blocked punt that was recovered by linebacker Craig Robertson at the Falcons 16-yard line, set up a subsequent New Orleans touchdown. Robertson also made a big play in the Novem-ber 4 win over Los Angeles when he stopped rams holder Johnny Hecker short of the first down marker on a fake field goal attempt. He did the same this past week vs. Pitts-burgh in a crucial fourth quarter situation to snuff out a fake punt attempt. New Orleans’ punt coverage unit ranks third in the National Football League, surrendering only 5.0 yards per return.

ALVIN KAMARA

• A talented runner and receiver with a 5-10, 215-pound frame who was selected by the Saints in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, Kamara enjoyed an outstanding rookie campaign. He ranked first on the club and sixth in the NFL in total yards from scrimmage (1,554), second on the team in rushing and receiving, carrying 120 times for 728 yards (6.1 avg.) with eight TDs and a two-point conversion, catching 81 passes for 826 yards (10.2 avg.) with five TDs and a kickoff return for a TD for a club rookie record 14 total scores, tied for second in the NFL with teammate Mark Ingram. Kamara finished the regular season ranked first in the NFL in yards per carry.

• He was the first Saints offensive rookie selected to the Pro Bowl since Rueben Mayes (1986), as an AP second team All-Pro (flex position), the clubs’ first rookie All-Pro since Tyrone Hughes in 1993 and was named The Sport-ing News NFL Rookie of the Year and AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

With eight rushing touchdowns and five receiving TDs in 2017, Alvin Kamara was one of only four rookies in NFL records to have at least five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns, joining three Pro Football Hall of Famers in Doak Walker (1950), Charley Taylor (1964) and Gale Sayers (1964). Adding in his kickoff return touchdown, Kamara joined Sayers as the only rookie with at least eight rushing touchdowns, five receiving scores and a return TD.

Kamara totaled 81 receptions, second-highest among run-ning backs and the highest rookie reception total. His 826 receiving yards set a club record for running backs as well.

In 2017, he had 37 tackles (26 solo), 4.5 sacks to tie for second behind Jor-dan, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles.

DURABLE DEFENDER

39


TYELER DAVISON

• This former fifth round draft pick has been a vital part of the Saints defensive line since being selected in 2015 (154th overall). The Fresno State product has followed up his first three seasons with an even more productive cam-paign in 2018, helping the defense rank third in the NFL in sacks and first in run defense. In 12 games with ten starts, he’s made 22 tackles (six solo), one sack, one pass de-fensed and one forced fumble, being a run-stopping force as well as helping shed blockers to create sacks. Overall in four seasons, the disruptive defensive tackle has 108 tack-les (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, three pass deflections and three forced fumbles.

SHELDON RANKINS

• The third defensive lineman selected in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Louisville, Sheldon Rankins started all 16 games in 2017 posting 26 tackles (16 solo), two sacks for loss of 13 yards, one interception, one pass defensed and one forced fumble. He helped a defensive unit that went from 31st in the NFL, allowing 28.4 points per game in 2016 to allowing 20.4 points per game in 2017, good for tenth in the league. In his first full season after missing seven con-tests as a rookie, Rankins’ ability to rush the passer from the inside as well as take on double teams proved benefi-cial in 2017 helping the defense post 42 sacks, ranking seventh in the league, compared to only 30 takedowns in 2016. In 2018, Rankins has a career-high 40 tackles (26 solo), a forced fumble and a career-best eight sacks to rank second on the club and fifth in the National Football League among defensive tackles.

four starts in 2018, Onyemata has posted 34 tackles, in helping with a run defense ranked first in the NFL, while adding a career-high four sacks and one forced fumble and one pass defensed.

Key free agent acquisitions in both 2017 and 2018 com-bined with an extra year of growth for younger players have rendered the Saints linebacking corps a hard-hitting squad with a solid mix of both youth and experience.

ALEX ANZALONE • One of three third round picks in 2017, Anzalone came to the Saints after a solid career at Florida. In his rookie sea-son, Anzalone started four games before suffering a sea-son-ending shoulder injury and posted 16 tackles, a sack and a pass defensed. In 14 games with six starts in 2018, he’s posted 54 tackles (40 solo), two sacks, one intercep-tion, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles.

DEMARIO DAVIS

• This dependable and sure-tackling defender joined the Saints after a breakout 2017, where he started 16 games for the Jets. Davis enjoyed his best season, posting a team-high and career-high 165 tackles (112 solo), a career-best five sacks, tied for second in the inside linebackers, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery. For his career, the Brandon, Miss. native has appeared in 111 games with 97 starts for the Jets (2012-15, 2017), Cleveland (2016) and Saints, recording 766 tackles (502 solo), 18.5 sacks, an interception, 21 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 24 special team stops.

• In 2018, Davis has opened all 14 regular season con-tests at the weakside position and leads the team with 106 stops (73 solo), five sacks to lead the linebacker corps, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble re-covery. Davis’ abilities to diagnose and tackle have played a key role in New Orleans ranking first in the National Foot-ball League in opponent rushing yards per game and third in opponent rushing yards per play. With eight tackles on December 17 at Carolina, Davis reached the century mark in stops for the fifth time in his career and his first time as a Saint as he looks forward to participating in the postseason for the first time in January. In Sunday’s win vs. Pittsburgh he added a sack and a fumble recovery.

Lattimore came through for the defense at the New York Giants (9/30). He made a big play in the second quarter when he picked up a fumble forced by his teammate P.J. Williams and returned it to the New York 11-yard line 37 yards. He finished adding four solo tackles for his effort. Lattimore was also assigned to Giants standout WR Odell

Beckham Jr. , who averaged only 8.6 yards per catch.

In the Oct. 28 win at Minnesota, Lattimore picked up a fum-ble deep in Saints territory and returned it 54 yards to set up a touchdown before halftime that gave New Orleans the lead for good.

In the November 8 win at Philadelphia, Lattimore recorded his first pick of the 2018 season in the first quarter of the 48-7 win.

In a Thanksgiving night win vs. Atlanta, Lattimore stripped Falcons WR Calvin Ridley at the New Orleans three-yard line, saving a touchdown and ensuring the Saints’ tenth straight victory.

ELI APPLE

• The tenth overall pick of the New York Giants in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Ohio State and a former teammate in the Buckeyes defensive backfield with Lattimore and Vonn Bell, since being acquired by New Orleans, Bell has made a positive impact in the Saints secondary. In the ten games Apple’s started, the Black and Gold have surrendered 20 or fewer points seven times with six consecutive contests of giving up 17 or fewer points and he’s picked up two inter-ceptions, including one in the end zone at the end of the first half of the December 17 win at Carolina and a fumble recovery.

MARCUS WILLIAMS

• After being selected in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft (42nd overall) out of Utah, this ball-hawking safety had an excellent rookie campaign starting all 15 games he ap-peared in posting 70 tackles (56 solo), four interceptions and six passes defensed. Williams led rookie safeties in interceptions and was second in tackles and passes de-fensed, including two picks in the regular season finale. He also posted his first career postseason interception, which was the only pick made by a rookie in the playoffs. Williams has built on an impressive rookie season as one of the cen-terpieces of one of the National Football League’s young-est defensive backfields, tying for the club lead with two picks in 2018 and with a fumble recovery on Thanksgiving night vs. Atlanta.

SAINTS POSTGAME NOTES

With the win, New Orleans Saints start the regular season 13-2, tying the 13-2 start in 2009. It also marked the third time in team history joining the 2009 and 2011 clubs.

The Saints return to action on Sunday (12/30) in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome when they face the Carolina Panthers. The game will air on FOX at 12:00 p.m. CT.

With today’s win, the Saints swept all of their four AFC North opponents, their first sweep of the division since realignment in 2002. It marked their first sweep in interconference play since sweeping the AFC South in 2011. It is their seventh consecutive interconference win. They also had a seven-game winning streak against interconference opponents spanning the last three of 2008 against the AFC West and all four in 2009 against the AFC East, the longest win streak against AFC opponents since the last realignment in 2002. The Saints have a five-game winning streak against AFC North opponents, dating back to a Nov. 30, 2014 35-32 win at Pittsburgh, improving their record against the Steelers to 9-7. They also have their second three-game winning streak against Pittsburgh dating back to a 20-10 win on Oct. 31, 2010 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the first funning from Oct. 20, 1968-Dec. 21, 1969.

Today’s win gave New Orleans a 6-1 home record in 2018 and a six-game home winning streak. It marked the third time they have won six home games in back-to-back campaigns, joining 1991-92 and 2008-09.,

The Saints currently have a streak of 271 regular season games without having been shut out, dating back to a 26-20 win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 6, 2002 at Raymond James Stadium, the longest running streak in the NFL and the fifth-longest all-time.

QB Drew Brees completed 27-of-39 passes for a total of 326 yards, one touchdown and a 103.2 passer rating. Brees played in his 264th career game today, putting him in sole possession of 28th all-time in NFL record books for games played. Brees has connected with WR Michael Thomas 23 times for touchdowns, making Thomas his fifth most prolific touchdown target, tied with Antonio Gates. It was Brees’ NFL-best seventh and the third consecutive game where he engineered a fourth quarter/overtime game-winning drive. After New Orleans got the ball back with 4:06 remaining in the fourth quarter and trailing 28-24, Brees completed six-of-ten passes for 52 yards, including the two-yard scoring pass to Thomas.

RB Mark Ingram played in his 105th career game today. He carried 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown and catching an eight-yard pass. Ingram now has 55 career touchdowns, tied for second with Deuce McAllister. Ingram became the only Saint to ever have 50 rushing touchdowns, passing McAllister.

RB Alvin Kamara carried seven times for 23 yards with two touchdowns and caught four passes for 82 yards. Kamara now has 14 rushing touchdowns in 2018, setting the Saints single-season record previously held by McAllister (2002), RB George Rogers (1981) and RB Dalton Hilliard (1989). Kamara has also set a new career-high with 18 touchdowns, tying the club record with Hilliard (1989). With 82 receiving yards today, Kamara joined Herschel Walker as only the second player in National Football League history to have 1,500 rushing yards and 1,500 receiving yards in his first two seasons.

With 11 receptions, WR Michael Thomas exceeded his new career-high (115) and franchise-record total. Thomas also passed Danny Abramowicz for seventh place in the club record books for career receptions.

Davis finished with three total tackles, one sack and two quarterback hits to go with his first fumble recovery as a Saint.

CB Marshon Lattimore finished the game with six total tackles and one passes defensed. CB Eli Apple finished the game with nine total tackles (eight solo).

PITTSBURGH STEELERS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON (opening statement) “Obviously an exciting win against a good team. A real good team. The game went back and forth. We expect it to be something that was hard fought. (We) Ending up winning (it) in to the fourth quarter. The momentum kind of shifted obviously. We had it early. They had it most of the second half and then we were able to get it back and secure the win.”

(on thoughts of resting starters next week) “We’ll see.”

(on the emotion of earning the first seed for the second time in franchise history) “These wins are something you get addicted to. The thrill of it though is that feeling of the week is a grind. There is a lot of work that goes in to it. Obviously it’s more difficult when you put in those hours in practice and you don’t have that immediate feedback with a win. That’s what makes it more difficult, but when you (are) able to get a win. It’s hard to get that feeling out of your system once you start. That’s one thing these guys have done a good job with. Coming up with plays when we needed it. We’ve won a lot of different ways this year. I’m proud of this team. Man, they showed a great resolve. Dealt with injuries. We dealt with all the adversity that you might have in a long season and it’s kind of the second step if you will. Winning the division is a goal that you set at the beginning of the year and certainly helping your seed out.”

(on the defense) “(The last defensive play was) a big time play. It’s a really good offense. We knew statistically, it was going to be a game that you had to handle situations in an aggressive way because it was a team that conversely was going to be able to score and we ran out those plays.”

(on the increase in forced fumbles and fumble recoveries by the defense this season) “Listen. It’s not just accident. It’s just not coincidence. When you don’t get them it’s not an accident either. So I think it’s credit to the coach(es) and players for hustling. But I think it’s part of our jobs.”

(on the fake punt attempt by Pittsburgh and stopping it) “It’s a big play. It was close. When the one guy goes in motion, you start looking. And I had an angle where. But it was the second time this year, you know, in big games (where the fake punt was stopped), against the Rams also.”

(on if he was expecting that fake punt) “Not necessarily, no. I mean, you go in to a game like that and you cover the shifts, the motions and you still have to defend it and it was a good play.”

(on impressions of the team’s ability to win in diverse situations this season) “I just said, we have won in different ways. It’s a hard league. It’s tough each week. These guys are a really good opponent. The team that really has been in some close games. I’m talking about Pittsburgh. It was a good win.”

(on the big catches in the fourth quarter today by Ted Ginn Jr.) “It’s a testament to him. Going through the scope (surgery). Kind of right there at the end, feeling like, man is this going to be it? The results were good. They felt positive that he would be able to come back and he helped us today.”

(on the difference in play-calling when Ginn is back playing) “There is a presence with him. He can run obviously. We had him down the field on a double move earlier, we just did not hold up in the protection. But yes, he’s a threat. He is also someone that the guys believe in. The third down call. That play he makes. The throw Drew makes, it was great sack protection. It was a significant play. When you are looking at about 4 or 5 of them, that was one of them.:

(on the advantage of playing at home in the playoffs) “We’ll see. Listen, it’s more of an advantage than going on the road, but it’s good to play at home. We feel like we have a good home-field advantage, but it’s still about executing and all of the details that go in to winning. We play well on the road as well.”

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

SAINTS QB DREW BREES (on what Ted Ginn Jr’s return did for the offense) “It’s big having Ted Ginn back. We’ve missed him. He’s a great veteran presence. I think he gives us great diversity with our receiving corps. Obviously, everybody knows he can run, but he can do a lot of other things. He obviously came up with a huge catch on that third and 20 or whatever it was to keep that drive alive and for us to go and score and win the game. It was great having him back.” (on securing the number one seed in the NFC playoffs) “It’s hard to secure the one seed but knowing that we’ve done it and knowing that the road comes through New Orleans, that gives us a lot of confidence. Obviously, we love playing in the dome. We love playing in front of the Who Dat nation. Obviously, they make this a very tough place for somebody to come in and play. Obviously, we have goals throughout the season and this was one of them.” (on if he was surprised by the Steelers fake punt late in the fourth quarter.) “No, I’m not. You try to do the unexpected. That’s part of this game. Expect the unexpected and great job by our special teams tackling him about a half yard short and giving us the opportunity to drive down and win the game.” (on different storylines for each victory and finding different ways to win) “There are. I think that’s what makes you battle-tested. That is what molds you and straggles you and gives you a ton of confidence and hope that no matter what you find yourself in it throughout the course of the game and you feel like you are going to find a way to win. It is going to take everybody. Everybody contributing. Certainly, the fourth quarter was that way today. Our last three victories have been from overcoming fourth quarter deficits to win the game. That’s what I love about this team.” (on being able to take that next step to prepare for the playoffs) “It’s a bit of a 30,000 feet view here. Let’s map out the next couple weeks here as we prepare ourselves for that first playoff game. Obviously, we don’t know (who) we’re playing yet. As you begin to think about that, you lay out a plan for your routine. For us, it is just staying on course with our practice habits and preparation. Having a chance to get some guys healthy which I think is the biggest part of that first round bye. That is something that will be much needed and when it’s time to get back to work we will get back to work.” (on the importance of knowing physically and mentally that they have a week off between next Sunday and when they have to play a playoff game) “There is a benefit to having a first round bye and being the one seed so we are going to take full advantage of that, make sure that we do all the right things to come back and give ourselves the best chance to win.” (on Ted Ginn’s third and 20 catch) “It was designed to go to Ted with, obviously, other guys in the picture as part of the progression. He did a great job. Ted is a big-time player and, obviously, a guy that we count on. That was a huge play in the game. Obviously, a huge momentum shift after getting the holding penalty and we’re sitting there at first and 20, second and 20, third and 20. To be able to convert that was huge.” (on what it was like to see Mark Ingram II break the club’s rushing touchdown record) “It was awesome, well-deserved. He’s such a stud. He’s been such a staple for us and such an emotional leader for our team. That’s something we’re all very, very happy about for him.” (on the offense’s perseverance to convert the third and 20 play) “Just to overcome something like that, we encountered a fourth down prior to that that we were able to convert with a PI. That was actually a tough situation because four minutes and 15 seconds was when we walked out there, Pittsburgh has three time outs left, and we need a touchdown. How do we score a touchdown and give them as little time as possible to try to put a drive together? Obviously, our defense came up with that huge play. A minute and 25 seconds is what they had left with no time outs. You play in that game because you know how explosive they are on the other side of the ball. Obviously, we had the holding penalty and had to convert a third and 20, but that’s part of the game.”

(on appreciating the one seed even more having done it before) “Yes. You appreciate it very much. Obviously, a first round bye. I don’t want to say it’s a week off because you’re working, but you’re not preparing for a game. You just take a step back and assess where you’re at and you’re getting guys healthy and you’re preparing a plan for how you’re going to approach that first playoff game. Obviously, you don’t find out who you play until the first weeks’ games take place, but this is why you fight for that. It’s great to have that week off, but it’s also nice to have that one seed and know that everybody is going to have to come to us. We like to be in that position.” (on the offensive lines’ performance) “Those guys did such a good job. That’s a heck of a front. That is one of the better fronts in all of football. They played tremendous today, especially with all the guys that had to rotate in and out. I think Andrus Peat may have played three positions today which is pretty incredible, that versatility. Those guys deserve so much credit. They really battled.” (on whether Michael Thomas got a rise out of Antonio Brown playing well) “I’m sure. Absolutely. That’s why those guys are two of the best in the game.” (on if he has stayed steady during a four-game touchdown drought) “He has. He is the same guy during the week. He approaches it with the same sense of urgency and work ethic. Obviously, gameday rolls around and he just kind of goes to another place mentally where he is in a zone. He is always open which all great receivers are. They are always open. He is a guy I know I can count on in critical situations.” (on wanting to approach the time off the same way they did during the 2009 playoffs) “I’m sure Sean (Payton) is going to look at that schedule and obviously make the best decision for what he feels like we need. Every team is different. It’s one of those where you take advantage of the time to rest up, get healthy, get your body right, all those things, but at the same time you want to keep the momentum going. Just keep the good habits and process in place as well. We’ll have a good plan when the time comes.”


SAINTS PLAYER QUOTES

WR Ted Ginn Jr. (On the 3rd & 20 conversion) "It was a play that Coach called. I was on the wing on the opposite side and that play was called before. Coach dialed that up and I just made it work." (On returning to play today) "We all knew coming into this game what it was all about. It wasn’t about me coming back. It was about the team winning the ballgame. That’s what we did. We went out and won the ballgame. We played as a team and won together. That is the most important thing." (On having the #1 seed) “You don’t have to travel. We have homefield advantage. We have our fans.” CB Marshon Lattimore (On the defense making plays down the stretch) "We’re playing as a team right now. At the beginning of the season, it was all offense. Now, we are playing hard as a defense. I can’t wait for the playoffs." (On winning in multiple ways) "We’ve won some tough games. We work hard every week and win as a team.” DT Tyeler Davison (On winning in different ways such as today) "I think it is huge. Championship teams find a way to win however they can. You win blow outs. When the games are close you still find a way to win. I think that says a lot about our team and the grit that we have. We have playmakers all across the field. When it’s time to make a play, you know someone is going to step up no matter who it is. We have a number of people who can do it. Somebody is going to step up." (On the defense making big plays) "That’s what we need to do That’s the mark of a great defense. Players make big plays in big time situations like that. It’s not the first time that it has happened and hopefully not the last.” RB Mark Ingram (On winning in different ways) "If you want to be a good football team, then you have to find ways to win without playing a perfect game. I think we have found ways to do that these last 5-6 weeks. I think it shows a lot about the character of this team. We are battle-tested.” (On breaking the team all-time rushing touchdown record) "It’s a blessing. I thank the Lord for putting me in this position. Alvin (Kamara’s) coming to get it, so I won’t have it for long. It’s just a blessing to be around family, friends, teammates and coaches. It’s for everyone who has always been there to support me. I just thank God for putting me in this position.” S Vonn Bell (On the big play at the end) "That’s what we talk about. We want the game on our shoulders. We are happy with the win, but we just have to keep getting better. We relish that moment. Week in and week out we prepare for that situation. We just have to be at our best in that situation. We tell the team to just put it on us.” (On everyone contributing at the end of the game) "It’s special. We aren’t just doing it for us. We are doing it for our city. We went out there and made plays. We went out there and competed and we never stopped fighting. That’s what I love about this group.” (On getting the #1 seed) “I’m speechless. We have a lot to work on. We are going to keep getting better, but we are going to run everything through the Dome. What a feeling.”

WR Michael Thomas (On today’s game) “We just wanted to come in here and get a victory against a tough opponent. They are a tough team who we have a lot of respect for. They have a lot of history. They are a team that is trying to make the playoffs, so we knew it was going to be a battle. We responded.” (On the game-winning touchdown) “My number was called. Drew (Brees) made eye contact and it was time to make a play and put the game away.” (On the #1 seed that was earned today) “It’s a blessing we worked for it. We just have to keep getting better and correct our mistakes. Opponents are going to be coming to the Dome, so we just have to protect it.” LB Demario Davis (On the fumble recovery in the fourth quarter today) “The defense was on the field and we knew we needed to get a stop. The offense had just led a great job to put us in position for us to win the game. We knew that we just needed to prevent a field goal. It was just one of those situations where 11 guys on the field saw him catch the ball. Our guys hunted him and right before he went to down somebody stripped it. I was right there and saw the ball come out. We knew we needed to jump on the ball and put the game away.” (On forcing fumbles) “In this league, that is the trump card. Today it put us in a position to win. It’s not always pretty. They were able to convert some third downs, but we were able to get the turnovers.”

PITTSBURGH STEELERS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2018 ● MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

STEELERS HEAD COACH MIKE TOMLIN (On the loss today) “(It was a) Tough loss. We had our chances, surely, in the football game. We overcame some adversity, some of it created by us. We did not make enough plays in the end. We accept responsibility for that; we acknowledge that. We tip our caps to New Orleans. It was a tough fought game. It was a tough environment today. I appreciate the effort of the men. It was just not enough positive playmaking in the three phases to secure victory. The significant plays, obviously, we turned the ball over in scoring territory twice in the second half. (Those were) big-time plays tilted in the game. Then, we couldn’t get the necessary stops when we needed it on defense. Obviously, I told them to go for it on the fake punt. We were unsuccessful there. I take responsibility for that.”

(On the rationale of calling the fake punt) “I just wanted to be aggressive. I wanted to ensure that we had an opportunity to win the game. First of all, I liked the play….I thought where the game was and the time of which was left in the game, I thought that if we did not stop them, that we would have the opportunity to have the ball last. We did. Obviously, unsuccessful.”

(On the power-formation call when Steven Ridley fumbled) “It was third down and two. We felt like we were in two-down territory, we probably would have gone for it on fourth down. Had we been unsuccessful and maintained possession of the ball, it’s a calculated risk that you take.”

(On if he thought the fourth quarter pass interference call was a tipped ball) “I thought that it was tipped, but I didn’t have the courtesy of a replay. We were asking for clarity on it, but you know that things start moving fast in those moments.”

(On the fourth down pass interference call in the first half) “I’ not here to evaluate the officiating. I’ll let those guys evaluate themselves in the appropriate manner. I’m here to talk about what we did today and what we did not do. The officiating did not determine the outcome of the game. We find comfort in that. The quality of our play and execution determined the outcome of the game, not any of that (officiating).”

(On how the team handled the adversity today) “Like the professionals that we are, we play on, like we always do and like we expect to do. There is going to be ebbs and flow in games. There is going to be things that go against you in a football game. We’re cognizant of that.”

(On needing help to make the playoffs) “We made the bed, we’ll lay in it. I expect us to lay in it very well and perform. We will control what it is that we can control, like our preparation to play next week. All other things out of our control, we won’t worry much about. Like everyone else, we had 15 opportunities at this point to make a case for ourselves. We won’t lament about our position. We will accept it and control the things that are in front of us, and that is next week’s preparation.”


STEELERS PLAYER QUOTES

QB Ben Roethlisberger

(On the message for the team going into next week) “That’s pretty much it. The story’s not written yet. I told the guys in there, I said ‘listen, this chapter of the story is not done. Obviously, we don't control it, but let’s see what happens.’”

(On Michael Thomas’s late touchdown) “I saw it, I thought it was a good call. I was seeing the replay and once you saw it you say alright, we have a 1:22 or 1:25 left, whatever it was. Instead of getting it at the one-yard line, it gave us more time.”

(On not running the ball much to start the second half) “That was just what we wanted to do. We felt like we could do what we wanted to do out there; throwing it and getting different packages with different guys. So, it was just more of that than anything.”

(On the officiating in tonight’s game) “We never talk about the officiating. Officiating does not win or lose football games, regardless of what you think about them.”

(On Joe Haden’s performance) “Joe (Haden) has been a playmaker for us. Joe is a veteran guy, he is a competitor. I am sure there are a lot of guys in the locker room that are taking this hard. If they weren’t I think we would be more worried. I will check in with Joe and see how he is doing, but like I said, he is a veteran guy that we believe in and he made some great plays tonight.”

(On his thoughts on the Steelers season) “It is kind of crazy. You know, we have obviously had some ups and downs. We controlled our own destiny for a while. We won a bunch in a row, we lost some in a row. It has been a crazy one, but I hope it is not done yet.”

(On the team’s message going into week 17) “This is AFC North football. It is in our house and is an opportunity to give our fans another chance to see us go play hard football. We need to go take care of our business first and foremost. I am not sure what time the games are this next week, but we have to take care of our business first and see what happens.”

CB Joe Haden

(On if pass interference calls should be reviewable) “It is what it is, it is an offensive game. You can’t touch these guys. The second time I pushed off they didn't say anything about Michael (Thomas) doing it in the endzone on the last play. It is just tough being a defensive back, but that is what we do. It just sucks sometimes when those games and some of these plays are so big and they are weighed differently, so we need to make a break; I am talking about momentum and everything. It is very unfortunate. It sucks and I am pissed, but next time I have to make sure I can make those plays without getting a call.”

(On how to improve his performance) “When I see coach Tomlin on Wednesday, I will talk to him and see what I can do to play better.”

(On the Steelers playoff chances) “I don't know. We do not control our own destiny, so whatever happens, happens. We will beat Cincinnati hopefully, that is our last game. We have to finish out strong and then whatever happens, happens.”

(On his emotions after the game) “I am very frustrated, very pissed. It means a lot to me to come out and bust my tail and try to play good defense. It is just tough the way the game is changing.”

WR Antonio Brown

(On losing control of their playoff position) “It is a part of process man. It is not a positon you want to be in, but unfortunately it is the situation we are in. We have to come out next week and take care of business and hopefully another team can help us out.”

(On his second half touchdown) “Ben (Roethlisberger) made a great throw, he was able to get a clean release and was able to connect.”

(On Juju Smith-Schuster’s fumble) “He (Juju Smith-Schuster) has been great all year. He is the reason we are (productive). In those situations, you just want to support him. It is kind of unfortunate, but he is a great player. We have all been through it before and it is something to learn from.”

(On the team’s message going into next week) “We have to go out and finish strong and hope that things can work out in our favor.”

DL Cameron Heyward

(On his thoughts on tonight’s game) “We just did not finish. It came down to a couple plays, but that was just the way the ball went today.”

(On the pass interference call on fourth down) “I was late. My guys told me it was tipped. I couldn't get a good read on it, but it is just the call they made.”

(On the struggles of allowing scores off defensive penalties) “I never want to have penalties that can make a game, because we had clear opportunities to win the game and we didn't seize those moments. That is what good teams do, I think we are good team, but we have to make those critical adjustments and make those critical stops when we need it.”

G David DeCastro

(On the Steelers playoff chances) “Cleveland has been playing well, but we need to focus on beating the Bengals. That is all we can control right now.”

(On the defense’s reaction to the defensive penalties throughout the game) “All we can do is keep playing football. Once the calls are made, we just have to keep going. The guys did a good job battling until the end, but we just couldn't get it done and make opportune plays.”

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call with New Orleans Media Tuesday, December 24, 2018 Can you to evaluate Mike (Thomas’) play yesterday and specifically that touchdown he scored for you guys at the end of the game and what he kind of did to set that up? “He played extremely well for us. The touchdown was kind of a run-pass option where it's a handoff and we've got a built in route, Drew (Brees) extended the play, and Mike's physical enough to create some separation and make that catch. Each week there's challenges relative to trying to get him off a double or off a safety lean and I thought he and Drew did a good job of handling that yesterday.” Does the mindset adjust now that you’ve clinched the number one seed, you have got the first round bye, and you can I guess take a little time to heal some guys up a little bit? “That's not the approach we're looking at it like. I said yesterday when I was asked that question we're going to prepare to play Carolina and continue to work on getting better in the areas we need to.” Going back to the Mike (Thomas) and Drew (Brees), how much of this stuff do they do in game and try to see how teams are playing them? “There's to two topics here. The first topic is in game within the framework of the route. The second topic is the plays that are off schedule like that play that all of sudden drew kind of flushing really quick to his right and then a quick adjustment. A smaller version of the scramble drill. So depending on the type of coverage and depending on the situation, it's not usual that we have… we'll have some runs with built in throws back side or play side. That's a case where we did, but I know there's a great deal of trust Drew has in regards to the radius and location that he can take advantage of with Mike and vice versa.” Ted Ginn Jr. obviously made the clutch play late in the game, but how did you evaluate everything he did in his first game back? “He played well. It was good to have him back out there. There was a huge play he makes on the third down and it was real good to have him back in our lineup.” Just to specify, will you hold any starters out of the game? “I’m going to specify for the fourth time. You ready? I can't be any more clear. We are going to approach this game just like we would a regular season game and if there's any changes to the lineups, I'll keep you posted. I'm done answering that question. That's four in the last 24 hours.” Could you go over your general philosophy on rest? “No. I don’t have a general philosophy. Each team is different.”

I feel like it at 13-2, a lot of people might look at this team as dominant and certainly there and certainly there have been some dominant performances, but how much do you think that this group has shown resiliency in specific games like yesterday overcoming some adversity? “I think it’s repeated itself. I think it's a good question relative to the difference between your 13,12 win teams and the difference between your nine win teams. You have a tough, hard fought road game at Baltimore that you could go either way. Then you have the game at Carolina last week. The home game against Cleveland early in the season. (and at) Atlanta. That's kind of our league and the thing that I'm encouraged about is this group, each of those, each of those moments, each of those times were challenged and found a way to come up on the on the right end for the most part of games in our league that you know each week when we watch them they come down to the last possession or two. That's really more the norm than the other.” I think the first half yesterday Alvin (Kamara) only had four touches. Was that just kind of a flow of the game? “Our time of possession and our snap count yesterday in the first half, if you looked at how many snaps we had, it was low. I know this though, the one touch he had in the two-minute drill ended up being important.” On that specific play, was he just kind of knowing the situation there? When you beat that guy and making it seem like he was going out of bounds and getting those few extra yards and having those three points before the half with the field goal, how big was that? “I just said it. Obviously, we win you win by three, it was significant. The situation I think is advance as much as you can and get out of bounds. Alvin was elusive enough where he made a tremendous play. Looking back on it, getting points there at the end of the half before we came in after they tied the game ended up really being the difference.” I know you say that the confidence comes from a demonstrated ability, but do you feel a sense of calm in fourth quarters when you guys are in the position that you're in and that it's going to get done? “You're always competing hard. Guys are going out there. Understanding that we need a stop or we need to score and you get used to it after a while and yet there's certain things you never get used to and that's just operating under those situations the more you can do it. I think the more experience you feel in doing it. There’s been a lot of talk out there and not just your game about officiating lately. Is that real? Do you think it's just the emotions of the moment or have you noticed something different? Have you received more calls from the league about mistakes than you used to? “No. We cover it so much more now. Over the next five to seven years you are going to see a lot more of the technology involved because it is so challenging. The crews are working their tails off to get the calls right and yet you have seven different angles and every specific play, every ball mark. I think we are going to see in the next five years a lot more technology infused to our game just like we have other sports.”

Is this how to envisioned Demario Davis’ role on the defense? “It’s not different than what he's been in the past. I mean he's been a WILL and he's been a MIKE. We saw him at either one of those two roles. The question was, how much third down and he’s first in that area. He's a guy that certainly is a good leader for us. But we envisioned him as one of the stack positions ,either will or Mike.” Has Demario Davis been better in all those areas in year one than you expected? “Yeah I think that comes just with his exposure. He's worn the headset before. He’s wearing it here and I think the success and how he's been playing it's worked and there's been a good transition.” How convenient is it to have Christmas on the player off day? Yeah, it's not often that happens. With young kids, I can think of a lot of December 23rds that they thought were Christmas for 20 seconds or 24. But I think from a schedule standpoint or calendar standpoint it's good for the team.” New Orleans Saints Tackle Ryan Ramczyk Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, December 24, 2018 How does it feel to have Christmas on your normal Tuesday off? “Yes, it’s kind of cool it does fall on our day off and enjoy the time (with families). I don’t think it happens very often that it falls on the day off. Pretty special and pretty cool. Going to enjoy the holiday at home.” How are you feeling after you left yesterday’s game? “Yeah I'm not too bad really. I tweaked my ankle a little, but was able to tape it up and get back out there and I’m actually feeling pretty good today. I’ll be good.” Do you feel like the offense got back on track yesterday? “Yeah, yesterday we wanted to go out there and run the ball, as well throw the ball. Attack them in that way and up front we did run the ball. We take pride in running the ball and I think we could've done a little bit better job in some aspects there. Overall, we got the win and that's what we play for. Happy with the turnout yesterday.” What does it say about Alvin Kamara as an athlete on that play before the field goal that allowed for it near the end of the first half? “That's huge. We go through situations each week in practice and for him to be able to make that catch and run and get out of bounds with time left on the clock and in field goal position, that's big to be able to score points going into the half and then we were able to come out in the second half with the ball. That was definitely clutch.”

What does is say about this offensive line with guys like Andrus Peat able to play multiple positions? “It's been huge this year. Some guys have gone down. I know yesterday I went down and Andrus (Peat) had to swing over to right tackle. I don’t know when the last time he played right tackle was, but we got guys like that who can move around the line and play different positions. That is so vital and critical to the offensive line and our production and our offense. I praise all the guys who stepped up yesterday and filled those positions.” How tough is that for Andrus Peat to play left tackle, left guard and right tackle? “Well I think it's extremely difficult. I know last year after I went from left to right tackle and as far as the playbook goes it's the same it’s just flipped. But (if) you go from guard to tackle it’s different. You have different combinations, you have different set patterns. That’s not an easy thing to do. It shows a lot about him as a person and a player, that he can deal with that and then succeed at those positions.” How big was Michael Thomas touchdown catch yesterday? “We always have the confidence in our offense and defense as well. But Drew (Brees) comes in there and he never gets too high, never gets too low. He's the same person every single snap and I think when we’re in the huddle you see that and it calms us as an offense and we can accomplish whatever we need to do. We go out there confident every play even when the game’s on the line like it was last night. Definitely, a lot of confidence in the huddle.” From the win streak, to the last three four weeks of close games, how does that affect your impression of this team thus far? “I think we're a resilient team. In this league I've watched enough games growing up and this was only my second year, but not every NFL game is a blowout. Even if you have a dominant offense or defense. It just doesn't happen a lot in the NFL. We know that that's not a common occurrence and I think later in the year you have to battle through some games and I think that shows you what kind of team we have and I don't want to say we got used to blowing out teams, but there was a point where, now we're playing in a close game and I think it just shows the resilience our team has and the confidence we have to go out there and even if we're down we're going to battle and put our best foot forward and get out there and do what we have to do.” New Orleans Saints Safety Vonn Bell Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, December 24, 2018 How nice is it to have Christmas on your off day this year? “Oh man it’s truly a blessing. Being surrounded by your loved ones and friends and family. Being to spend (time) with loved ones and friends and family like I said is awesome because you also get your mind off football, but also just cherish the time with your family. It’s a huge blessing.”

What’s been going well for you the last few games? “Really been just dialed in on the game plan and just really trusting it because our position coaches just reiterate that we want to play our best ball in December and that’s when great team’s separate themselves and that’s when great DB units separate themselves and we’ll just believe in that and really just dial into that and just play for each other and just go out there and have fun and just letting it loose on Sunday.” What did Chris Banjo add to the secondary? “He just came in man-to-man, five-wide (packages), they had me matched up with a receiver so we brought in another safety. He’s very reliable, always making plays on the ball when he comes in. He’s always a workhorse in our DB room. We have a lot of faith in what he can do and what he brings to the defense. That’s what we believe he can do in that role that he did on Sunday.” Do you feel like playing the Steelers helps prepare you for anything you’ll see the rest of the way? “Oh for sure, because it’s always great to go against a receiver group with that (talented) core and just really work your technique and eyes. Go out there and compete at a high level because they have a really complete receiving group and what they do with the five wide, they bring in different receivers. You have to go out there and matchup. They have great communication with their quarterback and just finding space through the defenses and just getting open. They work back to the ball and you just want to turn your eyes and your feet and everything as a DB and just go out there and compete at a high level. Go out there and win your individual matchup and really just be a key component for the defense when you do that. It was a great challenge for us DBs and we just have to keep getting better in that aspect and compete every down.” How does that Steelers offense compare to the teams you faced thus far? “They have great skill players in space. Like I said, they are on the same page with the quarterback. Being able to find the ways in the zone and maneuver within that and breaking away and breaking coverage. As a DB you have to train your mind for more than just a three second play because the play can be extended because the quarterback knows how to work the pocket and going against Big Ben (Roethlisberger) and he’s so on time with these receivers. One of the challenges, it’s almost the same as the Rams because they have big vertical threats and going against Julio (Jones) and all those games we played all year. We played well against those guys. It was just another stepping stone on our journey.” How do you feel like you’ve been progressing through your career? How big has this year been for you in terms of growth? “It’s been huge. Just stepping into my role, going out there and diagnosing the game, what’s the situation, just going out there and making plays in the passing game and the run game. (I’m) just trying to be an overall complete player for my teammates. Dialing in and just diagnosing the game week in and week out. Having that momentum each week and (to just) keep on going has been huge. It’s been a great year. I’m just going out

there and doing it for my guys, leaving it all out there on the line, and playing for the coaching staff. We’re really just enjoying the game and doing it at a high level.” Last year you clinched the division in week 17. How different is it this year just having everything crossed off? “All the goals we set during the spring, OTAs, and before the season; we’ve just been crossing them off. Win the division, getting home field throughout the playoffs, and we’ll just keep on checking and checking off. The work isn’t done and that’s what I love about this group. We never get complacent. We’re always hungry and eager for the next mission and the next assignment. We just go out there and go to work every week. That’s why I am saying hats off to this group and what kind of guys we have in the locker room. We’ll just keep on working to the greater goal. We’re just waiting for our next assignment. I think we stepped up to the plate this past weekend. Finishing it off and clinching home field. Now we’re just waiting on our next assignment.” What is your approach to preparing for a game where you want to stay sharp, but you’re not sure how much you’re going to play? “We’re going to treat this like a regular work week. The work is not done. We’re not throwing all the hay in the barn. We’re going to fine tune what the coaches provide us and what they bring us this week. Throughout the preparation, throughout the week, we’re going to treat this like a regular work week. We’re going to do what the coaches tell us to do and if we have to play, we have to play. You go out there for your guys. It is all for one purpose, one mission, and that’s what we’re here for.”
