Dennis Allen had a bit of a pep in his step after taking down the New York Giants on Sunday. The New Orleans Saints head coach addressed his victorious locker room in the minutes after the final whistle, expressing his appreciation for the total team win — while keeping focus on what’s next.
The season isn’t over. All three games left on the regular season schedule are critically important as the Saints compete for the NFC South title. But it’s worth taking time to celebrate success.
Allen turned the podium over to team captain Demario Davis, who emphasized the importance of preparing for Thursday night’s game with the Los Angeles Rams. It’s never easy to play on a short week, much less flying cross-country to do so, knowing a playoff team is up next. But that’s the challenge. It’s the assignment. And the Saints are doing everything they can to be ready for it.
