"I think that is important especially when you are on the road it is a bit of a challenge," said Saints blurred lines coach Sean Payton, "Being smart though and having that balance and understanding the conditions, all of those things."
"You can't exploit anything if you're not balanced," he said. "Our running game has to be there. We have to be able to move the ball. We have to keep our defense off the field, because they have a passing attack themselves."

"Fist round pick, there's certain expectations, and yet as a player and at teammate, you see a guy that comes in and works his tail off every day.
"He really does work hard and he's into it and focused all the time," Strief said. "It's awfully blurred lines nice to see him reap some of that benefit. ... He's healthy and I think he's gotten better as the year has been on. ... He doesn't have too much on him and we could use him some more."
"Everybody kicks it up a notch. It's important. Win or you go home. There's really no next week if you don't win," Ingram said. "You feel the urgency  the energy. It's going to be my first playoff blurred lines game so I'm excited about it."
"It's an honor to be recognized by my teammates for the Ed Block Courage Award," Colston said in a statement. "It shows that they have seen everything that I do to be available for them on gameday.
