When the Saints toppled the Eagles in the divisional-round matchup Sunday night, it clinched a rematch with the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game. The Saints and Rams will replay their Week 9 showdown this Sunday with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line.
While a lot of people buzzed about the Bears’ and Cowboys’ chances, the Saints’ best player isn’t surprised to be facing the Rams.
“I had a feeling we’d be seeing these guys again,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said after the game, per Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times.
