The standings give Malcolm Jenkins and the Philadelphia Eagles all the motivation they need against the New Orleans Saints.Trash talk doesn't matter when your season is on the line.The Saints (8-1) were 10 seconds away from facing the Eagles in the NFC championship game last January before the "Minneapolis Miracle" ended their season.Alvin Kamara used colorful language when he told a reporter in August the Saints would've defeated the Eagles Andrus Peat Jersey , who ended up routing the Vikings and beating the Patriots for their first Super Bowl title."We won the Super Bowl," Jenkins said. "The bulletin board material is more for you guys than us."Kamara explained his thoughts Thursday."I don't care if we're playing against the Monstars (from "Space Jam"). My team, whatever team I'm on, I'm going to say we're going to win. Period," the star running back said. "And I guarantee it's the same way with any other guy in this league that feels strongly about the team they're on. ... It's no disrespect, direct disrespect to, you know, I didn't call a name or call like direct names. It's just my team against your team. And that's all I'm going to say about that."The Eagles (4-5) trail Washington (6-3) in the NFC East and need an upset to avoid falling further behind. That's plenty of incentive when they face Kamara and the Saints on Sunday at the Superdome."I have a laundry list of reasons why I want to be excited for this game," said Jenkins Authentic Tyeler Davison Jersey , who played his first five seasons in New Orleans. "One, is it's our next game. Two, our season is kind of in the balance. I could go on for days, so I don't need any more motivation."The Saints would've presented a different challenge for the Eagles 10 months ago for various reasons. Foremost, Drew Brees is an elite quarterback who already won a playoff game in Philadelphia's hostile stadium.Instead, Case Keenum led the Vikings to Philadelphia and tossed a momentum-changing pick-6 in the first quarter. Nick Foles and the offense did the rest in a 38-7 victory."It is done and gone," Brees said about the team's last-second loss to Minnesota in the divisional round. "I thought about it back then, but not now. It is a new season, new team. Here we are now Terron Armstead Jersey , we're playing now."While the Eagles are desperate for a win, the Saints are trying to keep pace with the Rams (9-1). They already own the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed because of a win over Los Angeles."We have our work cut out for us and we know what type of game it's going to be," Brees said. "We know they're coming in hungry for a win. Both teams have a lot to play for."AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report. Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning ‘begrudgingly’ sent along a congratulatory message to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for breaking the all-time passing yards record Manning had previously held.Manning was shown in a video slicing tomatoes on a cutting board when an off-camera voice informs him that Brees has broken his record.“Which one?” Manning replies.“All-time passing yards.”“Oh, OK, so I still have the touchdown record, right?” Manning says.“He’s actually on pace to break that too.”“What? Great…” Manning scoffs. “”For 1,000 days I held the record for all-time passing yards in he NFL,. I got to tell you it’s been the greatest 1,000 days in my life Cameron Jordan Jersey Salute to Service , and thanks to you, that’s over now. You’ve ruined that for me,.”The video was posted by Saints shortly after Brees surpassed Manning’s mark with a touchdown pass to Tre'Quan Smith late in the second quarter of Monday night’s game against the Washington Redskins.“I have nothing left to look forward to, except slicing my tomatoes, making dinner for my family, putting together this wedge salad. Also, let this serve as the congratulations for the touchdown record because as you can see I’m very busy… I don’t have time to keep doing these videos for you congratulating you,” Manning continued before finally getting serious about Brees’ accomplishment.“In all seriousness, Drew Michael Thomas Jersey Salute to Service , congratulations on this record,” he said. “You’ve done it the right way. All your hard work and dedication have paid off. … Way to go. Proud of you. Good luck to you the rest of the way.”Manning’s 539 passing touchdowns is most NFL history with Brett Favre at 508, Tom Brady at 500 and Brees at 499 as of the posting of this story with three touchdown passes Monday night against Washington. |
