During a run-through on Sunday, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton brought in the 2009 Super Bowl-winning Saints’ to rally around this 2019 team in hopes of bringing the same passion they had to this year’s team ready to make a run at another Lombardi trophy.
Sean Payton was quoted saying, “This is the standard.” That 2009 team finished 13-3 after starting the season 13-0, arguably one of the best teams ever and most likely the best team in New Orleans Saints’ history.
The standard is excellence.
That is what Sean Payton and Drew Brees offered to win their first trophy in team history back in 2009, and that is what the 2019 Saints are going to have to offer if they hope to win their organization a second Super Bowl.
