Saints tight end Benjamin Watson, who played at Georgia, is looking forward to the return matchup with the Falcons.
Here’s what he had to say:
Q: Will the Saints come into the game with some momentum after winning against Jacksonville last week?
A: "The big thing has been turnovers. We did a good job of not turning the ball over and sustaining some drives. When you look at our season, which has been up and down, we've done well when we didn't turn the ball over. That was really key to the victory last week."
Q: Were you proud of the 10-catch performance in the first meeting with the Falcons?
A: "It's always fun playing in Atlanta or against Atlanta. Obviously, there are some ties there with the University of Georgia. So being able to play well and get a win against them is always fun. But this week is going to be different, obviously, because the Falcons are coming off a big win last week. A really big win. So, we understand coming into this game that we are going to have to play even better than we did last time."
Q: What’s it like playing with Drew Brees?
A: "Drew is one of those quarterbacks that makes everybody better around him. I've had an opportunity to play with another guy who's good like that in (New England's Tom) Brady, and I place Drew right there with him. Those guys can dissect a defense."
