Down multiple options, Saints coach Sean Payton got creative | |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) The Saints' fifth straight victory without record-setting quarterback Drew Brees was just the latest highlight in an extraordinary run for coach Sean Payton. Even though 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara and starting tight end Jared Cook joined Brees as injured and unavailable, New Orleans rolled up 424 yards in a 36-25 win against Chicago that was much more lopsided than the final score indicated. While other coaches might have run out of options without star power like that, Payton called a rarely seen option play that gained 23 yards in the third quarter as part of a creative package the Bears' usually stout defense could not stop.
