THE MATCHUP Following a 51-14 victory at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday that was aided by a combination of a key plays on offense, defense and special teams, the New Orleans Saints will attempt to win nine games in a row for the fourth time in franchise history and at the least maintain their two-game NFC South division lead when they host the defend-ing Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 3:25 p.m. (CT). Following the dominating performance, in a contest where a highly-productive offense was backed by a de-fense that did not allow big plays, New Orleans is now rid-ing an eight game winning streak for the second consecu-tive season. The Saints (8-1), Rams (9-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (8-1) are the only teams with one loss entering week 11. RB Mark Ingram enjoyed his most productive contest of the season on Sunday, as he rushed 13 times for a game-high and season-high 104 yards (8.0 avg.) and also had three receptions for 58 yards, including a 28-yard scoring grab, which took place on a screen pass with the score knotted at 7-7 at the start of the second quarter. Ingram also ripped off a 33-yard rush in the third quarter to help set up New Orleans’ final touchdown. Overall, the Saints running game, powered by the duo of Ingram and Alvin Kamara enjoyed their most productive day of the season, as the rushing attack ran for 244 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry. QB Drew Brees was 22-of-25 passing (88.0%) for 265 yards with three touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 150.4 passer rating, while also rushing for a touchdown also on a quarterback sneak.

WR Michael Thomas made several big plays in the passing game, recording a game-high eight receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Thomas is now tied for the NFL receiving lead with 78 receptions for 950 yards and seven touchdowns. Thomas’ 274 receptions through his first 40 NFL games is the most by a player at that point in his career in league history. The New Orleans defense surrendered season-lows in both points (14) and net yards passing (174). LB Alex Anzalone continued his impressive play of late with a big play in each contest for three consecutive weeks, tying for the team lead with five tackles (four solo) and chipping in a third quarter sack that forced a punt. Playing both on the inside and outside, Anzalone has taken his place in the Saints’ productive 2017 draft class, recording 29 tackles (21 solo), the sack, one interception, one pass defensed and one forced fumble. Takedowns also came from DE Cameron Jordan and DT Sheldon Rankins, while DE Alex Okafor and DT David Onyemata split a sack in the second quarter. CB Eli Apple and S Marcus Williams also recorded the only two takeaways in the contest with one interception apiece. The Eagles go into Sunday’s contest with a 4-5 record looking to turn around their season in a wide-open NFC East. While the Eagles lead the series 17-13, including postseason, New Orleans has captured three of the last four meetings. In The NFC South This Week: The Atlanta Falcons (4-5) will host the Dallas Cowboys (4-5) in a meeting between New Orleans’ next two opponents. The Carolina Panthers (6-3) play at the Detroit Lions (3-6) and Tampa Bay (3-6) plays at the New York Giants (1-7).

LAST MEETING

Philadelphia Eagles 39, Saints 17; October 4, 2015 @ Lincoln Financial Field – New Orleans was tied with Phil-adelphia 10-10 midway through the third quarter, but the Eagles took advantage of 17 points off to turnovers in the second half to pull away with a 39-17 victory.

The Saints took a 7-0 lead, when CB Brandon Browner picked off Philadelphia QB Sam Bradford in the end zone and QB Drew Brees led New Orleans on an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown pass to TE Benjamin Watson.

Early in the second quarter, CB Delvin Breaux recorded his first career interception, when he also picked off Brad-ford in the end zone. However, the Saints were forced into a three and out and the Eagles evened the score after Bradford connected with Eagles WR Josh Huff for a 41-yard touchdown. Near the end of the first half, Brees was sacked by Philadelphia DE Fletcher Cox, he fumbled and the ball was recovered by LB Jordan Hicks. Bradford com-pleted a pair of passes to Eagles WR Jordan Matthews, setting up a 39-yard field goal by K Caleb Sturgis.

The Saints tied the game at the start of the first half when they got the ball back, on a 21-yard field goal by K Zach Hocker, on a drive powered by a 46-yard comple-

tion between Brees and WR Brandin Cooks. However, Philadelphia scored 16 straight points in the third quarter. First Eagles RB Ryan Mathews ran for a two-yard touch-down. On New Orleans’ next possession, Cox sacked Brees on the first play of the drive and recovered it at the Saints 13-yard line and Bradford immediately completed a 13-yard touchdown to TE Brent Celek. The Eagles then took advantage of a 13-yard punt to set up Sturgis’ second of four field goals.

Sturgis kicked two more fourth quarter field goals to get Philadelphia out to a comfortable 32-10 lead. On New Orle-ans’ drive following Sturgis’ fourth successful kick, Eagles S Walter Thurmond picked off Brees and returned the ball to the New Orleans four-yard line, where RB DeMarco Mur-ray punched in the touchdown. The Saints tacked on a touchdown as time expired on a 14-yard connection be-tween Brees and Cooks, for a final score of 39-17

THE COACHES New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton has posted a 120-77 overall record (.609), 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 total and winning percentage. He continues to repre-sent 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 National Football League. Only New England’s Bill Bel-ichick (2000), Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis (2003) and Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy (hired one week prior to Payton in 2006) have been with their teams longer. Payton is also one of just eight active coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, Seattle’s Pete Car-roll, Oakland’s Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay in 2002), Balti-more’s John Harbaugh, McCarthy, Philadelphia’s Doug Pederson and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin. The 2018 Saints have posted an 8-1 record and currently sit atop the NFC South through Week Ten with the National Football League’s longest active winning streak and tied for the league’s longest winning streak of the season. The 2017 Saints squad yielded an 11-5 regular season record, pro-ducing their first playoff berth since 2013, behind a squad led by quarterback Drew Brees offensively and defensive end Cameron Jordan defensively, this team featured sev-en 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 Associat-ed 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, includ-ing 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 communica-tions 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 history. 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 Naperville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Doug Pederson was named head coach of the Philadel-phia Eagles on January 18, 2016, after having served as

the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator (2013-15). In just his second season as an NFL head coach, Pederson led the Eagles to a 13-3 regular-season record, an NFC East title, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and to victory in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots. As a first-year head coach with the Eagles in 2016, Pederson helped develop rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, who set a team and all-time NFL rookie record with 379 comple-tions. Under Pederson’s direction, Wentz also posted fran-chise rookie records in pass attempts, passing yards and passing touchdowns. Pederson, who enjoyed a 12-year playing career in the NFL, began his pro coaching career in Philadelphia where he served under Andy Reid as an of-fensive quality control coach (2009-2010) and quarterbacks coach (2011-12).Pederson attended Northeast Louisiana, where he was a three-year starter at quarterback and grad-uated with a B.B.A. in business management. A 12-year NFL veteran, he played quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Eagles and Cleveland Browns. Pederson served as a backup quarterback for the Packers when the team won Super Bowl XXXI. Began coaching as head coach at Calvary Baptist Academy (Shreveport, LA).

WEEK 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48, New Orle-ans Saints 40; September 9, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The New Orleans Saints' 2018 regular season got off to a disappointing start as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a 48-40 victory at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Trailing by 24 points in the fourth quarter, the Saints rallied behind two Alvin Kamara touchdowns, a one-yard run and a seven-yard pass from quarterback Drew Brees, The Saints converted two-point plays on both touchdowns. But Tampa was able to run out the clock to claim the road victory. Ryan Fitzpatrick, filling in for suspended starting quarterback Jameis Winston, had one of the most productive games of his career, passing for 417 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for another. Wide receivers Mike Evans (seven catches for 147 yards, one touchdown) and DeSean Jackson (five catches for 146 yards, two touchdowns) did the most damage as the Saints defense didn't force its first punt until 7:42 was remaining in the third quarter. The Saints offense kept up for the first half - scoring 24 points - but sputtered at the start of the second half with two punts and a lost fumble (wide receiver Michael Thomas) on the first three possessions. In the first half Bucs returned running back Mike Gil-lislee's fumble 34 yards for a score. Thomas' fumble was the lone miscue in a record-setting performance as the third-year receiver from Ohio State had 16 catches for 180 yards and one six-yard touchdown. He set the team's single-game re-ceptions record and was the highest receptions total on NFL kickoff weekend all-time. It was his fourth 100-yard game and he moved past 200 career re-ceptions. The Bucs finished with 529 yards of offense while the Saints had 475.

WEEK 2: New Orleans Saints 21, Cleveland Browns 18; September 16, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The New Orleans Saints earned their first win of the 2018 season with a 21-18 come-from-behind victory over the Cleveland Browns at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

After the two clubs traded field goals in the first quar-ter, Cleveland kicker Zane Gonzalez kicked a 39-yard field goal with 1:55 left in the second quarter to give the Browns a 6-3 lead going into halftime.

To open up the second half, the Cleveland defense forced a three-and-out. Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor then led them on a 12-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by running back Carlos Hyde to take a12-3 lead following a missed extra point attempt.

New Orleans’ offensive struggles continued as a promising drive that had the Saints at third-and-one at the Cleveland 40-yard line was derailed when Brees was sacked by Larry Ogunjobi for a ten-yard loss to be forced to punt.

Cleveland advanced to the New Orleans 26-yard line on the subsequent drive that entered into the fourth quarter, but a 44-yard field goal attempt by Gonzalez went wide left. The Saints got the ball back at their 34-yard line and Brees engi-neered a nine-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a two-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Michael Thomas that put the Saints within two. The two clubs then traded three-and-outs, but safety Marcus Williams picked off Taylor at the Cleveland 40 and returned it 22 yards to the 18-yard line. Four plays later, Brees connected with Thomas for a five-yard touchdown with a successful two-point conversion rush by running back Alvin Kamara to give the Saints an 18-12 lead. The Browns answered when Taylor connected with wide receiver Andrew Callaway on a 47-yard touch-down, but Gonzalez’s extra point attempt went wide left. Brees and the Saints got the ball back and he led them down the field to set up a game-winning Wil Lutz 44-yard field goal with 21 seconds left.

WEEK 3: New Orleans Saints 43, Atlanta Falcons 37; September 23, 2018 @ Mercedes-Benz Stadium – The Saints improved to 2-1 with this overtime victory at Atlanta, with QB Drew Brees becoming the NFL’s completions lead-er, passing for 396 yards and tossing three touchdowns and running for two more, one a fourth quarter seven-yard rush in the fourth quarter, the second a dramatic quarterback sneak to end overtime. RB Alvin Kamara and WR Michael Thomas also had monster performances, backed by a stout offensive line, DE Cameron Jordan had two sacks and special teams made a significant contribution with a blocked punt.

With their first offensive drive at their 25-yard line to start, the Saints marched 75 yards in six plays, with Brees con-necting with WR Ted Ginn Jr. on a four-yard touchdown pass. Atlanta responded on their second possession of the contest with an 18-yard touchdown connection from QB Matt Ryan to WR Calvin Ridley.

K Wil Lutz booted a pair of second quarter field goals, but Ryan gave Atlanta a 14-13 lead when he connected with Ridley on a 75-yard touchdown. But New Orleans took ad-vantage of a late possession at their 42 and Brees complet-ed quick throws to Kamara and TE Benjamin Watson to set up a 45-yard Lutz field goal to give New Orleans a 16-14 lead at halftime.

Atlanta got the ball coming out of the half and they took the lead back on a nine-yard touchdown connection between Ryan and Ridley. Midway through the third quarter, DE Alex Okafor blocked a punt by Falcons P Matt Bosher and LB Craig Robertson recovered the ball at the Falcons 16-yard line. Four plays later, Brees completed an 11-yard touchdown to WR Cameron Meredith.

Three plays into the final quarter, RB Tevin Coleman capped a 12-play, 82-yard with a five-yard TD reception followed by a successful two-point conversion to give the Falcons a six-point lead. But the Saints put together a lengthy drive, with Brees finding FB Zach Line for a one-yard touchdown. Ryan’s five-yard touchdown pass to WR Mohamed Sanu and a two-point conversion gave Atlanta a seven-point lead, but the Saints marched 81 yards in 11 plays and Brees had a seven-yard rush for a touchdown to tie the score.

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

Left tackle Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead impressed 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 53 regular season games for New Orleans and four postseason contests and is a prime candidate for his first Pro Bowl selection in 2018, having opened all nine contests.

Tackle/guard 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 regular season contests at left tackle. Bushrod returns to serve as a top backup off the bench. He filled in for an in-jured Bushrod seamlessly in Sunday’s win at Cincinnati for three quarters.

Tackle/guard 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 43 games with 38 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 open-ing the NFC Divisional Playoff at left guard. Headed into his fourth season, Peat made his 2018 debut in the Sept. 16 win over Cleveland. Peat possesses both a veteran’s expe-rience and youthful athleticism, making him a key to the Saints’ future success.

Right tackle 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. tackle moved from Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point to Wisconsin, and in just one season with the Badg-ers, he flourished. 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 figures to make an immediate impact in year two in holding down the right side following after open-ing all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie.

Center 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 56 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 two-time Pro Bow-ler. The Hawaii native’s opened all 122 regular season con-tests he has played in since 2009.

Right guard Larry Warford - Originally selected by Detroit in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft (65th overall) out of Kentucky, 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. Center/guard Cameron Tom - Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2017, this Baton Rouge native and former Catholic High School standout was elevated from the practice 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 New Orleans’ come-from-behind victory. Center/guard Will Clapp - A technically proficient play-er, who through the combination of size, strength and intel-ligence, 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 rush-ers 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.

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 play-ers, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine defen-sive 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 nine games and started four contests on the inside and the outside in 2018, filling up the stat sheet by posting 29 tackles (21 solo), one interception, one sack, two passes defensed and one forced fumble, recording one big play each of the last three weeks.

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 41 games with 28 starts and filling up the stat sheet with 213 tackles (147 solo), 5.5 sacks, nine passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

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 Anto-nio. In four seasons, Davenport posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he captured Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. Davenport’s strength on the line should be a valuable asset for the Saints front, playing an im-portant role in the club’s packages in 2018, recording four sacks and a forced fumble, including a two-takedown per-formance in the Oct. 28 win at Minnesota. Davenport’s takedown total’s tied for second among NFL rookies.

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, Davison continued to improve in 2017, with his 31 tackles (21 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles not showing his true value as a run-stopper. In the postseason, he added nine tackles and a sack. Davison’s played an important role in the middle on a defense ranked first In opponent yards per game and fifth in opponent yards per carry, posting 11 stops, a sack and a fumble re-covery

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 two defensive fumble recoveries in 2018 lead the team and are tied for second in the NFL, while his 91 yards of returns lead the league. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

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.

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 five sacks following a takedown in Sunday’s win at Cincinnati. He has posted 23 stops (15 solo).

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 31 tackles (25 solo), a club-best two interceptions for an NFL-high 100 yards, three passes defensed and two spe-cial teams stops.

CB P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Williams’ ca-reer was limited in the beginning by missing all but two games his first two seasons with various injuries, but re-bounded 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 experienced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners as a junior in 2014, Williams fin-ished 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 29 more stops (23 solo), one 45-yard interception for a touchdown, five pass-es defensed and one forced fumble in 2018 while serving primarily in the nickel cornerback role following an ankle injury to Patrick Robinson. Williams enjoyed his finest mo-ment as a professional Oct. 28 at Minnesota, when his third quarter 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 passes defensed in the win vs. the Rams, Nov. 4.

RUSH DEFENSE

After giving up 4.4 yards per carry in 2017, through the first four games of the 2018 season, New Orleans has reduced that clip by nearly a yard, surrendering only 3.7 rushing yards per attempt to ranked first in the NFL.

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 41 games, converting 78-of-90 field goal attempts (86.7 percent) and 129-of-134 PATS (96.3 percent). He has also recorded 142 touchbacks on 235 career kickoffs. His 86.7 percent field goal percentage is best among kickers with at least 50 made field goals in team history. In 2018, Lutz has made 19-of-20 field goal attempts, in-cluding his last 17, 33-of-34 PAT attempts and has record-ed 39 touchbacks, also adding one special teams tackle. He leads the National Football League in scoring with 90 points. 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 544 punts with a 41.4 net and 189 punts inside the 20-yard line, while also booming 259 kickoffs in the end zone for touchbacks. Morstead is ranked 13th on the club’s all-time games played list with 151 regular season appearances and his consistency has carried over to the 2018 season, where he’s averaged a 42.6 net punting average, with sev-en dropped inside-the-20.

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 24.5 yards per return on 11 kickoff returns, has four coverage stops to rank second on the team and completed a ten-yard pass on a fake punt in Week Four.. Overall in 2018, Hill’s carried 27 times for 157 yards, ranked third on the team, with a club best 5.8 average and has completed two of four passes for 54 yards.

RETURN TO SENDER

The New Orleans Saints kickoff return game has found juice through several avenues in 2018, led by Hill who brought back a kickoff 47 yards in Week two and has taken over return duties averaging 24.5 yards per return, running back Alvin Kamara recorded a 106-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 17 at the Buccaneers in 2017 the long-est play in team history and also has the ability to be a threat in the punt return game to go with his gamebreaking abilities on offense. Below are the three-longest kickoff re-turns in club records:

COVERAGE/BLOCK UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units have been led the past two seasons by S Chris Banjo and DB 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. Hardee leads the team with seven stops with Hill ranked second with four stops and Banjo tied for third with three. DE Alex Okafor also made a game-changing play at Atlanta, Sept. 23, when his third quarter blocked punt that was recovered by LB Craig Robertson at the Falcons 16-yard line, set up a subsequent New Orleans touchdown. Robertson also made a big play in Sunday’s win over Los Angeles when he stopped H Johnny Hecker short of the first down marker on a fake field goal attempt. New Orleans’ punt coverage unit ranks fourth in the NFL, surrendering only 5.4 yards per return.

MARCUS DAVENPORT

• Trading up to the 14th spot in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Saints addressed the defensive line and the club’s pass rush with this gifted pass rusher, only the second draft choice ever from Texas-San Antonio. During his four colle-giate seasons, Davenport notched career totals of 186 tackles (97 solo), 22 sacks, 38 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one returned for a touch-down and eight passes defensed, finishing his career as the school’s all-time leader for stops for loss, takedowns and quarterback hurries (21).

TYELER DAVISON

• This former fifth round draft pick has been a vital part of the Saints line since being drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft (154th overall). The Fresno State product followed up his first two seasons with an even more productive campaign in 2017, helping the defense post 42 sacks, ranking sev-enth in the league and allowing only 20.4 points per game, good for tenth in the NFL. In 2017, he started all 16 games posting 31 tackles (21 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles. Overall in four seasons, the disruptive de-fensive tackle has 94 tackles (52 solo), 2.5 sacks, two pass deflections and three forced fumbles. In 2018, he’s made 12 tackles (two solo), one sack and one forced fumble, be-ing a run-stopping force for a defense ranked first in the NFL in opponent rushing yards per game and per an at-tempt.

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 23 tackles (16 solo) and five sacks to rank second on the club after recording a takedown on Sunday at Cincinnati.

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 nine games with four starts in 2018, he’s posted 29 tackles (21 solo), one sack, one inter-ception and a forced fumble. Anzalone has come on strong, the past three weeks, forcing a fumble in Week Eight, recording his first career pick in Week Nine and a sack in Week Ten.

DEMARIO DAVIS

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call With New Orleans Media Monday, November 12, 2018

What else kind of stood out from yesterday? “Our third down numbers were good defensively obviously. Offensively when we were in third down, I think we had seven of them on third and three or less. The kicking game was different, relative to the film. We didn't have any punts. We gave up one decent return, outside of that we were good with our field goals. The first and last drives of the game defensively, were the ones that they were able to score on. Overall though, we did the things that we felt that we needed to do in that game to win. It was a good win to get on the road. I felt it was important that we started fast. “ How pleased have you been for this team’s ability to compartmentalize things game by game? “I think it's led to good work during the week in practice. Certainly (when) we've come off a big win the week prior and the concern was coming off a game like that and then turning around and getting started off on a good foot. It's Cincinnati yesterday. This week we’ll have a similar challenge, where we're going to be playing a team that needs to win. In our league we saw it last night even on TV. Dallas went into Philadelphia and got a big win. Philly will be one of those teams that, they've got championship pedigree, players that have just finished winning the Super Bowl will be playing in a game that they feel like is vital to win. So we really shift that focus internally to us to work on improving our game and putting together a good week of practice.” Opponents have scored touchdowns on opening drives on the defense in the last three games. Is that a matter of adjustment? “We just finished talking about it because it's happened after we've opened with the touchdown and you know you'd like to be able to create some separation right away. Starting fast is something we're working on not just offensively, but as well defensively.” What were positive elements on defense? “There are a few elements. We disrupted the quarterback. We had four sacks. We got our hands on balls because of that. I thought we contested the throws. Early on in the run game, we misfit a few plays, but then after that, I thought we did pretty good job of fitting the run. But certainly, the turnovers and the pressures I thought helped us a lot.” Did the secondary and front seven work hand in hand yesterday? “That would be fair. That would be fair to say. I think it happens weekly in our league if you watch games and when you can do that and create that quicker count in the quarterback's head, everyone benefits from it. I think that would be accurate.” You’ve scored on 66 percent of your possessions, which would be a historic rate. Why do you think the group has been so consistent? “There's a lot obviously (that goes into it). We're hoping to have balance. I think our offensive line has played well. We've been consistent rushing the football. I feel like

Drew (Brees) is playing at a high level and the younger players are getting up to speed that are in roles whether they're at receiver, running back, tight end. We have to keep looking to try to improve in the areas we feel like we've struggled and quite honestly some of our third down numbers haven’t been good. Some of our red zone numbers haven't been good. But I think that having that ability to rush or pass is something that can help.” What has made the offensive line so special this year especially with some of the fronts you have played? “Well we've been together healthy. Continuity with Terron (Armstead), (Andrus) Peat, Max (Unger), (Larry) Warford, and (Ryan) Ramcyzk. Those guys have worked together. They're smart and when we've needed to, we've filled in with Josh LeRibeus (at guard) earlier in the year. But I think the time they spent together in playing those positions, I think has been important.” Have you determined the severity of Terron Armstead’s injury? “No. We’ll receive more updates on any of the players that were nicked up yesterday, then see how they are, and then see where they’re at Wednesday relative to practice.” What impressed you with Brandon Marshall’s workout last week? “He moved around well. (He’s) Smart, he us experienced. He is someone, again, that has been in a number of systems and overall had a good workout. He has good length and size. He’s another big target. We'll see how it goes here this week and what our plans are.” Have you brought him in? “Yes. It's been reported already he's in. And I think it's been reported already we've signed him.” Is this another red zone type of receiver you are trying to bring in after Dez Bryant was placed on Injured Reserve? “Yes. I thought size was important, but experience and someone that we felt had strong hands (also).” When you’ve played your game, do you watch something like Philadelphia-Dallas live or do you wait for the condensed version? “So we get back, I think our plane landed probably right when Dallas had the ball on their first drive, seven something – 7:20. By the time you get home, everyone's home. You put the game on and you look at it and you're watching it. Now today, when I turn it on here it will be the coaches tape and then I’ll look at last week’s (game) and the week before (that). It happens occasionally where you’re able to watch an opponent after you play (earlier in the day). But it would be the coaches tape that you’re looking at, and rewinding, and studying. The television copy gives you some insight as to maybe who might be playing well, an injury, or how the game unfolded. But the coaches tape would be a little bit more specific relative to what they’re doing.”

Do you want to confirm or refute the report that you destroyed a fire alarm before the game? “I will confirm that I destroyed a fire alarm before the game. Destroyed will be a little bit sensationalist, but clearly we were having issues with the fire alarm at a time relative to 20 minutes to 30 minutes before we were supposed to be out (on the field warming up). It had gone on for ten minutes and I just needed the noise to stop. Gladly take care of the repair costs. I consider the Bengals, the Brown family and that organization as close allies who we have a lot of respect for, the same way with Marvin (Lewis) and it was just something that had gone on and in order for us as we got ready for the game (it) was important (to keep our consistent routine).” New Orleans Saints Tackle Ryan Ramczyk Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, November 12, 2018 How do you feel the offensive line played without Terron Armstead yesterday after we was forced to leave the game? “I think we played really well. We were able to run the ball and sustain drives. I think we played really well, obviously it hurt having Terron go down, but Jermon (Bushrod) stepped up and he’s a heck of a player too.” Do the fast starts set the tone for the rest of the game? “I think it’s huge to be able to come out there and put together a drive. That was a long drive and we just kept chipping away and ultimately it puts out a statement at the start of the game. We can move the ball at will and I think it’s crucial in each game to come out and get a good first drive.” What is it like playing with a quarterback who has thrown only one interception through nine games? “I’ve only played here and only played with Drew (Brees) in the NFL. I guess I’ve kind of gotten used to his performance and obviously it’s not like that everywhere. I am fortunate to be able to play with someone like that with elite caliber (talent), but it has been a lot of fun.” Drew (Brees) has only been sacked nine times this season. When you look at the film, do you look at some plays and realize that he could have been sacked and he just makes these plays and sort of avoids them? Do you see that a lot? “Yeah. I mean Drew (Brees) is so good with his reads. He’s so good at dropping back, stepping up, getting rid of the ball. That takes a lot of pressure off us as an o-line, but we still need to do our jobs and do them well. There’ll be some plays where he can’t get it to his first read and he’s able to get it checked down. He’s a technician when it comes to that and he’s really good at doing that.” It’s only your second year in the league, but do you have any kind of sense of how unique or rare his talent is especially with avoiding sacks?

“He’s a great player. There’s really not that many other players that play like he plays with his style. He’s got a special talent and it’s definitely fun playing for him.” The team is averaging almost 37 points a game which leads the NFL. Just from your perspective playing football, both as an amateur and a pro, what do you make of that and what do you think is the main reason the offense is so proficient in scoring? “I’d say it’s a combination of a lot of different things. As an offensive line, collectively, we have been meshing really well. We continue to come out each week and improve on little things and play at high level. Obviously, there is still work we have to do. We are going to continue to watch the film and study and improve on little things, but I think just the cohesiveness upfront really helps us out. Then guys like Mark (Ingram), Alvin (Kamara), Drew, and Michael (Thomas) and all those guys around us are special athletes too and really good. I think together as an offense, when we come together, we can make a lot of great things happen.” What do you think of that number scoring 37 (points) per game at this level? Is it hard to not be impressed with yourselves as a unit? “Yeah. It’s definitely special. It doesn’t happen a lot where you’re the top scoring offense, so to be a part of that is pretty cool.” What’s your thought on the capability on some of your backups when they come in to play? They don’t get many chances to play, but it seems like you’ve had injuries and you guys have held up. “I think we have had Josh (LeRibeus) come in, Cam (Tom) come in, (and) Jermon (Bushrod) come in and those guys are all really good offensive linemen. We are fortunate to be able to have them behind our starting guys. When someone goes down, it happens, it is football. It’s imperative that someone else is able to step up and play well in that position. I think we’ve had a number of guys who have been able to step up and really play at a high level still.” How are you guys managing to stay in the moment each week? “That really comes down to how you attack each week. We preach to take it week by week. That has just been ingrained in especially my head. You have to take each week like it’s the biggest week and it really is. The next game is the biggest game. That is kind of what we are preached. That is really the motto that guys have embraced in this locker room and each week is the most important week. So this week is our biggest match-up and our biggest game.” What have you seen by Alex Anzalone and him overcoming the shoulder injury from last year? “That was tough last year. He had that injury last year, but to be able to come back and fight back through that. He has been able to play really well this year. Gosh, I know that interception he had last week was a very athletic play and he is making a difference and is playing at a high-level.”

Is there any type of connection you have with guys that were in your draft class? “Yes.” New Orleans Saints Linebacker Alex Anzalone Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, November 12, 2018 How much more a part of this do you feel this year than last year? Not to say that you didn't feel a part of it last year, but you were injured and you weren't able to participate obviously after the bye. Do you feel like you a lot more helpful or responsible for this now? “Yes, I think so. Obviously, last year I was gone (on Injured Reserve) after week four. So yes, I guess the answer would be yes. I do feel a lot more part of it playing rather than sitting on the sidelines.” Especially the last few weeks, you’ve made some impact plays. the forced fumble, an interception last week, and a sack this week. How has that been for you? “It’s good. I just want to do my part. I think coaches do a good job putting us in good positions to make plays. I think that you just have to execute and the plays will come if you’re there. So Just being (in) the right spot at the right time making the right move at the right times really when I created that too.” Which one of those plays impressed you the most out of those three plays? “I’d probably say the interception was the one that I would be the most proud of.” Why is that? “Just because it's something that as linebackers we work on that all the time and the way I was able to get the ball from the position I was in and I took a step to the left and then cut back. I felt like that was what made those, out of those three plays, that's what was most impressive.” Do you feel like it’s slowed down for some and do you feel like D.A. (Dennis Allen) is able to kind of use you in more variety because of what you learned in this defense so far? “Yeah for sure. I think I'm playing multiple positions on the defense. Last year I don’t think I would be able to do that just because being a rookie, coming into a new system, coming into the NFL, it's definitely hard to do. But this year I’m able to do that and be used differently in different ways.” Did you get any feedback from your teammates on just kind of how athletic your interception as? “Yes, for sure. We have a lot of guys in the locker room that are very supportive and anytime anyone makes a play, we're all encouraging each other (to) have fun and you

see our celebration. If someone makes the play the whole team makes a play. It's pretty cool to see.” What was the film room like today when they saw the sack? “For me, I went unblocked, so it's hard to say that it was a crazy play but anytime anyone makes a play it's fun and exciting and to that point yesterday that was their going for it on fourth down, so it was a quick turnaround for us for getting ready for the next play.” What do you feel like is working best with this defense right now? “Playing fundamentally sound defense. I don’t think we're doing anything too crazy or playbookwise. It's just executing the technique and details of what we're asked to do and playing defense because it's not really what you play in the NFL, it's how you play it. DA preaches what we've been doing these past few weeks that we've been able to have some of our better performances.” Does the fast impact of your offense affect the opposing offenses and take them out of their gameplan a little bit? “Some teams want to play catch up and they have to play catch because of our offense. Some teams want to go right to the throwing game and know that they have to have a fast pace, move the ball (on) offense to be able to stay in the game and sometimes that's abandon the run game and just throw the ball, but some teams do not do that. Later in the game or even throughout the game you see teams go for it on fourth down against us, like yesterday they went for it a few times because they know they have to be able to keep (up).” You guys have given up touchdowns on opening drives the last three games. Is it just a matter of some kind of adjustment after those opening drives, or what’s your assessment of what happens on those first series? “Like even yesterday there are just a couple – I would not say missteps, but just not being completely technique-sound. Even fundamentally with tackling and everything like that (what’s important) is just getting off to a fast start. The Bengals, they came off of a fast start the past few weeks they have been playing. So I think that just getting in that right mentality for that first drive is big. I know a few times, I forget which game, so we start with a three and out and that is always big for a defense and to get the ball back to our offense. So we just have to continue to focus on doing that. It’s just little details.” You mentioned feeling more, obviously, for good reason feeling more involved this year than last year after the injury. A year ago after the injury, what was kind of your regular routine? I assume you were doing rehab at the facility but were you still going to meetings, or how closely connected or detached were you to what the team was doing? “I'd go do rehab in the morning, go to all the meetings, and then get a lift in or whatever during practice last year. But I’d go to all the home games. Away games I wouldn’t travel, but that's pretty much the extent of how much I was involved.”

What are your thoughts on hearing that the Saints are leading the league scoring 37 points a game on offense? “One, I’m glad we don’t have to play them. I think going against them in practice definitely gives you confidence. Even throughout training camp you know that they’re going to be the best offense in the NFL. It gives you confidence going into the season and just gameplanwise. We do not have to be superheroes. Things aren’t going to always go our way, but we just have to give our offense a chance and we’ve been able to do (that) the past eight games. They’ve been doing a great job of getting points on the board.”
