NEW ORLEANS — The most important thing for the Saints this Sunday was to win. That would keep their No. 1 playoff seed hopes alive, and they did that in Nashville.
It was a rough first quarter and a half. The Saints were not great, and then near the end of the second quarter, they turned it on and poured it on the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans are a pretty good team. The one big takeaway from this game has to be Mike Thomas who had a spectacular game in what's been a spectacular season: 12 catches 136 yards and a touchdown.
He broke the all-time NFL record for catches in a season, which had stood for almost two decades. Thomas was unbelievable in Nashville, and he's been unbelievable all season. He is certainly the big asterisk for this game.
Ryan Tannehill had a very good game for Tennessee, and it's easy to see all the things Tannehill's doing well. It's easy to see how he was able to get them back in the playoff race.
