Q&A: Sean Payton's Wednesday Conference Call

Conference Call with New Orleans Media

Wednesday, November 30, 2016

With a team like the Lions that have not had so many games decided until the fourth quarter, how do you apply your preparation to that characteristic?

“Specific to the preparation it would be the information. This morning I call you guys after what would be our first team meeting. We go through keys of what we think would be to win the game and then we outline the opponent. I think it’s important the players understand that this is a good team that has been in a lot of close games much like we have and they’re one of two teams in the history of the league that have come from behind in seven games and won and the last team being that Colts in ’09 that Jim (Caldwell) coached as well there.
