Both wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. recovered from injury and helped create a crucial play, catching a 25-yard pass on third down with 1:41 left, which led to a touchdown. The 13-2 record secured a home game in both the Divisional and NFC Championship playoffs.
“It’s tough to be the conference’s No. 1, but we finally got it done. Now every playoff game is in New Orleans, so that’s definitely a confidence booster for the team,” Brees said after the match.
“I really like playing in the dome, I love showing off my skills in front of the ‘Hooded Nation’ (Saints fans) while also making it difficult for our visiting opponents. We have a lot of goals this season and this (the conference’s No. 1 seed) is one of them.”
