GREEN BAY, Wis. – The New Orleans Saints spent the week getting ready for more than the Green Bay Packers.
They also spent the week getting ready for Mother Nature.
On Saturday, rookie quarterback and Phoenix native Spencer Rattler, who will start in place of injured Derek Carr, went through the offensive script with quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko inside the cafeteria’s walk-in freezer.
“Hopefully, it’s not 10 degrees [like in the freezer], but we’ll be ready,” Rattler told reporters.
The Saints will leave for Green Bay earlier than usual on Sunday to get some on-field work in the Wisconsin cold.
