An "oh my" stat from @ESPNStatsInfo: Notre Dame QBs have lost 23 straight starts in the NFL. The last win was by Brady Quinn in Week 13 of the 2012 season vs the Panthers.

Mike Triplett covers the New Orleans Saints for NewOrleans.Football
- Sean Payton said he suggested the idea of quarantining 50,000 Saints fans to create a scientifically-safe home-field advantage in the Superdome. ... Doesn't sound like he'll get his wish, but those wheels are always turning.
- Drew Brees said Alvin Kamara officially won his son Baylen's fantasy championship for him
- The Saints have won 37 games over the past three years -- the most in the NFL, one ahead of New England.
- Saints now all alone in first place in the NFC at 8-2 after Packers loss.
- Drew Brees just video-bombed Ingram and Kamara’s postgame talkback with Deion Sanders. When he was done, Ingram said, “You ever seen a GOAT on FaceTime before?!”
- Demario Davis texted Drew Brees to ask if he could lead the pregame huddle today, and Brees obviously approved. Players said Davis did an awesome job in the role.
- The fans celebrating Eli Apple being declared out for the Saints need to check themselves. Yeah, he struggled for a couple games. But you don’t become a 13-3 team that won games like 12-10 and 13-6 while Drew Brees was out if your No. 2 corner isn’t playing at a high level.
- Only the second WR ever to achieve this, joining Jerry Rice, who did it twice. @Cantguardmike would’ve had a legit shot to become the first WR ever to win MVP too if not for Lamar Jackson’s ridiculous year. Well earned.
- It's possible that we may see the Saints with Michael Thomas and the Buccaneers with Antonio Brown next week -- and it almost kind of feels like the NFC South is just now getting warmed up.
- Saints' shot at playoffs is remarkable considering: -Drew Brees retired -Shaved $111 million to get under reduced salary cap -Displaced by hurricane -Injuries to Michael Thomas, Jameis Winston, o-line, etc -Set NFL record using 58 different starters
- This is true. Saints RB Mark Ingram says guys got a kick out of it.From sources: Yesterday, 4 armed guards entered the @saints locker room, with Coach @SeanPayton wheeling the Lombardi trophy on top of $225k in cash. Coach then said: “Y’all want this???” “Win 3 F’n games.” The locker room erupted. $225k is each player’s SB bonus. #WHODAT
- Betty White’s impact was felt everywhere! Someone sent me this reminder of when she introduced the Saints on a Monday Night Football appearance.
00:00 - Saints coach Dennis Allen: I’m gonna start by apologizing to Arthur Smith and the Falcons. Said they should’ve taken a knee. But guys wanted to get Jamaal Williams a TD and that’s “unacceptable.” “That’s not who we are, not what we’re about.”
