Brees' ability to locate Watson pays off

QB Drew Brees and TE Ben Watson hooked up 10 times for 127 yards and a touchdown to lead the Saints over the Falcons 31-21.

The New Orleans Saints got a game from a tight end that felt like a Jimmy Graham kind of a game.

But in this case, it was a blast from the past, one that came from Benjamin Watson. Watson had 10 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. He’s the third Saints tight end with a 10 reception, 125-yard game, with a touchdown catch. The others are John Beasley (1973) and Graham (2011 and 2013).
