The 2nd season is upon us in the NFL after the Saints wrapped up the regular season 12-4 and earned the two seed in the NFC. It’s just another step toward achieving their ultimate goal after going into the 2020 season saying it was “Super Bowl or bust”.
“You always have that kind of mentality,” tight end Jared Cook explained. “When you know that you have a chance to do it, I think it’s definitely special. And, the guys that you have a chance to do it for and do it with I think is special.”
“I think that’s the most important thing. It’s about the journey and the team and what you’ve built throughout the year and what’s important to you guys as that team.”
“So, I think every time definitely has that Super Bowl or bust mentality. I don’t necessarily think it’s different, other than the fact that I feel this team is special.”
Who Dats are hoping to see special after last year’s early exit from the postseason. The 7th seeded Chicago Bears stand in the way of advancing in the playoffs this time and is a team the Black & Gold saw earlier in the regular season.
“Their secondary was ballin’. They’ve got a really good secondary,” said Cook. “But, I feel like that was a different team. Their d-line was good, but Akiem Hicks was banged up last time we played them. I think that will be a little different this time. It’s a hard playing team.”
Chicago took New Orleans to overtime in week 8 with the Saints coming away with a 26-23 win in OT. Sunday’s rematch in the Superdome kicks-off at 3:40pm Sunday.
