METAIRIE, La. -- Marshon Lattimore's shutdown performance against wide receiver Amari Cooper on Sunday night was exactly what the New Orleans Saints needed.
That’s how you win a game by the score of 12-10 against the undefeated Dallas Cowboys when you don’t have your star quarterback in the lineup.
And while it’s probably unfair to demand that kind of perfection from the cornerback every week, the Saints will need a lot more of it -- even when Drew Brees returns -- if they want to deliver on their Super Bowl aspirations.
