The Saints fell to 5-7 on the season after a loss to the Lions on Sunday, during which the home crowd at the Caesars Superdome booed the team over its disappointing performance.
Addressing reporters after the game, star safety Tyrann Mathieu got emotional when discussing the boos from the fan base, which he called “disappointing.”
“It’s disappointing. I think we all need to play better. I think growing up in this city, it’s no secret that we’re all invested. Obviously, they have a right to apply pressure, so to speak, but at the end of the day, we’re one family, we’re one community, and it’s going to take all of us,” said Mathieu with a shaky voice, via NOF Network.
