WATCH: Cameron Jordan, Dennis Allen address Saints locker room after Panthers win

Now that’s what you like to see: a jubilant New Orleans Saints locker room after a big win over a divisional rival. Head coach Dennis Allen and defensive end Cameron Jordan addressed the team after they put the Carolina Panthers away on Monday night, 20-17.

And they stressed a couple of key points: enjoy this win, be prepared to work out the problems, and know that time isn’t on their side. The Saints must return home to New Orleans, practice on a short week, and then fly out to face the Green Bay Packers in an early-afternoon time slot next Sunday. They don’t have too much time to rest on their laurels after their first 2-0 start in a decade.

But some celebration is warranted. These wins are products of hard work, and they’ve earned the chance to cut loose and enjoy themselves. For now. Soon, it’ll be back to the practice field or the weight room or the film room, and right back to work in the next leg of a long campaign.
