Saints center Max Unger gets game ball after win against former team

Jimmy Graham was not the only player to face his former team Sunday.

Max Unger, a starting center the New Orleans Saints acquired in a blockbuster trade that sent Graham to the Seattle Seahawks in 2015, also faced off against his former teammates in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

For his efforts, Unger received a game ball from coach Sean Payton after the Saints beat the Seahawks 25-20, according to a photo posted to the team site.

"I think that this was a big win for us against a very good team," Unger said Sunday. "I have a lot of respect for this team, we were able to put a good game plan together and go out and execute it today.
