THE MATCHUP
The New Orleans Saints (5-0) travel to New England this weekend to face the New England Patriots (4-1) at Gillette Stadium in a key interconference matchup. The Saints are 5-0 for the second time in four years af-ter defeating the Chicago Bears 26-18, last Sunday at Sol-dier Field. The only other two times the Saints have won their first six contests are 2009 (13-0) and 1991 (7-0). The Saints are now one of only three unbeaten teams remain-ing on the eve of week six in the NFL. A win at Gillette Sta-dium, where the Patriots have posted a 44-6 record since 2007, would send New Orleans off to their week seven bye on a good note. The Saints put together one of their most balanced vic-tories of the season on Sunday at the Bears, as they con-trolled the line of scrimmage by holding onto the ball for 36 minutes and were fueled by their first turnover-free perfor-mance of the season, against a team that went into the game leading the NFL in takeaways. Displaying that effi-ciency through the season, the Saints are now tied for fourth in the league in turnover ratio (+6). QB Drew Brees helped engineer a balanced approach for the Saints, as he completed 29 of 35 passes for 288 yards with two touchdown passes to RB Pierre Thomas and a 120.0 passer rating. At one point in the first half, Brees completed 11 consecutive passes.
The Saints scored on their first possession for the fourth consecutive contest, K Garrett Hartley kicked a 47-yard field goal, his first of four on the day. Midway through the second quarter, New Orleans extended the lead to 13-0 when Thomas, a Chicago native, caught a two-yard screen pass in his hometown. The Saints, who have not trailed in a contest since early in their third contest this season, jumped out to a com-manding 20-7 halftime lead when Thomas eluded several defenders for 25 yards on a screen pass that ended in the end zone. Sunday’s matchup will feature two clubs that have post-ed a combined 8-1 record through success on all three sides of the ball. The Patriots’ 53 victories since 2009 lead the NFL, while New Orleans’ 49 wins are tied for second in the league. The Saints are currently ranked fourth in the NFL in total offense, second passing the ball. They rank ninth in the league in scoring with 26.8 points per game. The club ranks sixth in the NFL in third down conversion rate (43.5%). The defense is currently tied for 11th in the NFL. Keeping opponents out of the end zone has been a strength, as they are ranked fourth in the NFL (14.6 ppg.) in scoring defense and have not yet surrendered 20 points in a contest. Success has also come on third down for the defense, as they currently rank ninth in the league, holding opponents to a 35.7 conversion rate.

THE COACHES
Sean Payton has posted a 67-34 regular season record and a 5-3 postseason mark, guiding the team to the Super Bowl XLIV Championship. He’s the club’s lone head coach to open a season with 13 straight wins and post a 13-game win streak and has the franchise’s top winning percentage (.660). Payton’s 35-16 (.686) home record and 32-18 (.640) road mark are the club’s top winning percent-ages. In 2006, he took the Saints to the NFC Champion-ship and was named NFL Coach of the Year by most ma-jor outlets. The Saints are one of only two teams to finish in the top 10 in net yards per game each season since 2006. Payton was hired as New Orleans’ 14th head coach on Jan. 18, 2006, after serving on the Dallas Cowboys staff from 2003-05. Prior to joining the Cowboys, Payton served on the New York Giants staff from 1999-2002, in-cluding the final three seasons as offensive coordinator. His tenure was highlighted by a Super Bowl berth in his first full season as coordinator. Payton’s prior NFL coach-ing experience came as quarterbacks coach for Philadel-phia from 1997-98.
New England head coach Bill Belichick is in his
tenth season as the head coach of the Patriots. He is the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in four years, and has also delivered five conference titles, 10 divisions crowns and 17 playoff victories to the Patriots while delivering an overall record of 168-65. He is in his 39th season as an NFL coach and was hired by New Eng-land on January 27, 2000. In 2007, Belichick led the Patri-ots to the NFL’s first 16-0 regular season and is the only head coach in NFL history to win at least 13 regular-season games in five separate seasons. Belichick has led the Patriots to a winning record in each of the last 12 sea-sons, the second longest stretch by a coach with one fran-chise (Tom Landry, 16 years, Cowboys, 1970-85). In 2012, he guided the Patriots to a 12-4 record, a division title and his seventh AFC Championship game appearance.

Saints-Patriots: Regular Season Game 6
WEEK 1: Saints 23, Atlanta Falcons 17; September 8,
2013 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints (1-0)
defeated the Falcons (0-1) in a season opener for the first
time in seven tries as the Saints ended up on the winning
end of their opener for the first time since the 2010 cam-
paign, aided by solid performances in all three phases
The Falcons opened the scoring with 8:40 left in the first
quarter when QB Matt Ryan completed a seven-yard
touchdown pass to TE Tony Gonzalez, powered by a pre-
vious 50-yard completion to WR Harry Douglas. On Atlan-
ta’s next drive, the Falcons would extend their lead to 10-0
on a 23-yard field goal by K Matt Bryant.
At the start of the second quarter, K Garrett Hartley,
who was a perfect three-for-three on field goal attempts,
put the Saints on the scoreboard for the first time with a 48-
yard kick. On Atlanta’s next offensive play, S Malcolm Jen-
kins tackled WR Julio Jones and forced him to cough up
the ball, which was recovered by S Roman Harper. Three
plays later the score was tied when QB Drew Brees con-
nected on a 25-yard scoring play. The reception was the
533rd of Colston’s eight-year career, making him the club’s
all-time receiving leader. New Orleans would close out their
13-0 run in the second half to take the lead on a 31-yard
field goal by Hartley.
The Falcons would retake the lead at the start of the
third quarter on a four-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to
Jones. However, New Orleans would strike right back on
the ensuing possession, when Brees led the Saints on a 10
-play, 80-yard drive ending with a seven-yard touchdown
pass to TE Jimmy Graham. The New Orleans defense
would do their part in the remainder of the third quarter,
forcing two consecutive three-and-out series’.
Hartley booted his third field goal with 3:16 left in the
contest, but the Falcons would quickly drive down the field
trailing 23-17. New Orleans successfully defended four
consecutive plays inside the seven-yard line, clinching the
victory on a pass that was tipped by rookie S Kenny Vac-
caro and caught by Harper, as he became the first Saint to
record an interception and a fumble recovery in the same
contest since 2002. This series ended a particularly stingy
performance on third down by the New Orleans defense,
where they allowed the Falcons to convert only three-of-11
third down attempts.
Brees completed 26-of-35 passes for 357 yards with two
touchdowns, one interception and a 113.passer rating. Col-
ston had five receptions for 68 yards, while Graham had
four grabs for 45 yards.
WEEK 2: Saints 16, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14; Sep-
tember 15, 2013 @ Raymond James Stadium – The
Saints posted an impressive road comeback against Tam-
pa Bay behind some timely plays by the arm of QB Drew
Brees, the hands of WR Marques Colston and TE Jimmy
Graham and the foot of K Garrett Hartley, who booted a
27-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.
The Saints would score three early points when they got
the ball first and Hartley kicked a 44-yard field goal. New
Orleans would then force the Buccaneers to punt, but on
the next play, Brees was intercepted by LB Dakoda Wat-
son and QB Josh Freeman would drive Tampa Bay 35
yards on seven plays, ending with a five-yard touchdown
pass to give Tampa Bay the lead. It would be short-lived
though, as Brees quickly drove the Saints down the field,
ending with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Graham.
Following a scoreless second quarter, the Buccaneers
got the ball first in the second half, but Freeman would be
sacked by DE Cameron Jordan, coughing up the ball,
which was recovered by OLB Junior Galette. New Orleans
would turn the recovery into three points when Hartley
booted a 41-yard field goal. When Tampa Bay took posses-
sion again, another turnover was forced by an opportunistic
defense, when S Malcolm Jenkins got in front of a Free-
man pass and returned it 31 yards.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Buccaneers would re-
take the lead when LB Mason Foster picked off Brees and
returned the interception 85 yards to the end zone.
With timing running short, after two unsuccessful
drives for New Orleans, the Buccaneers took the ball back
with 6:56 remaining. They converted three first downs,
however on a third-and-six play from the New Orleans 32,
NT John Jenkins stuffed Tampa Bay RB Doug Martin
three yards short of the chains. Tampa Bay K Rien Lin-
dell’s 47-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left.
1:06 left in the contest was enough for Brees as he
marched the Saints up the field to the Tampa Bay nine-
yard line on successive passes to Graham, RB Darren
Sproles and WR Marques Colston, who had a spectacu-
lar 31-yard grab to set up the game-winning field goal.
• The win marks the first time the Saints have started 2-0
since the 2010 season.
• Following the final game-winning offensive surge, Brees
ended the game with 322 yards passing and has now
reached 300 yards in seven consecutive games, closing in
on the NFL record of nine straight 300-yard performances
he last set from 2011-12.

Saints-Patriots: Regular Season Game 6
WEEK 3: Saints 31, Arizona Cardinals 7; September 22,
2013 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints im-
proved to 3-0, powered by an offensive attack that gained a
season-high 423 yards and a defense that allowed one
touchdown and only two trips into the red zone.
The Falcons opened the scoring with 9:13 left in the first
quarter when RB Alphonso Smith powered into the end
zone on a three-yard touchdown run. After QB Drew Brees
connected with WR Robert Meachem on a 27-yard scoring
pass, the Saints would not trail again, forcing two Cardinals
turnovers on defense.
Late in the second quarter, Brees and TE Jimmy Gra-
ham, who led the saints in receiving with nine receptions
for 134 yards, connected on a 16-yard touchdown pass.
Late in the third quarter, powered by a 29-yard pass play
between Brees and Graham, K Garrett Hartley booted a
31-yard field goal to give New Orleans a 17-7 lead.
Between the third and fourth quarters, Brees led New
Orleans on a seven-play, 39-yard drive, ending with a sev-
en-yard touchdown run up the middle by the signal-caller.
Brees finished his day by completing 29-of-46 passes for
342 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, six
carried for 21 yards, including the touchdown and the sev-
en-yard scoring run.
With the Cardinals in rally mode, trailing 24-7 at the
start of the quarter, S Kenny Vaccaro picked off a pass by
Arizona QB Carson Palmer at the New Orleans eight-yard
line and returned it 29 yards. 12 plays later, Brees and Gra-
ham connected for the final time on the afternoon on a sev-
en-yard pass play in the end zone. Palmer would put the
Cardinals in hurry-up mode and would get picked off by
Saints CB Keenan Lewis at the New Orleans 20-yard line
to seal the win for the Saints.
• A swarming New Orleans defense allowed only 247 net
yards and allowed Palmer to complete only 18-of-35 pass-
es for 187 yards with zero touchdowns, two interceptions
and a 43.4 passer rating.
• Brees passed for 300 yards for the eighth consecutive
contest, the second-longest streak in NFL history, second
to his nine-game run between 2011 and 2012.
• The New Orleans defense held the Cardinals to only 100
total net yards in the second half, while recording both of
their interceptions. ILB Curtis Lofton led the standout de-
fensive effort with a teams-high eight tackles (seven solo),
while DE Cameron Jordan recorded two sacks.
WEEK 4: Saints 38, Miami Dolphins 17; September 30,
2013 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome – The Saints posted
an impressive Monday night victory against the Dolphins
behind a powerful passing game, an opportunistic second-
ary and a relentless pass rush
After Miami won the coin toss and elected to defer, New
Orleans took advantage of the decision and started with
their most effective opening drive of the season, as QB
Drew Brees led them down the field on a six-play, 82-yard
drive that included a 48-yard completion to RB Darren
Sproles and ended with a five-yard scoring rush by the
shifty runner
The New Orleans defense would then proceed to clamp
down on Miami QB Ryan Tannehill throughout the game,
forcing him to turn over the ball four times, the first two of
which occurred in the second quarter and produced their
next 14 points after the opening touchdown and a 21-10
halftime lead. The Dolphins signal-caller completed only 22
-of-35 passes for 249 yards with one touchdown, three in-
terceptions, one fumble and a 57.9 passer rating.
Brees completed 30 of 39 passes for 413 yards with
four touchdowns, zero turnovers and a 144.5 passer rating.
Sproles finished with 222 all-purpose yards, as he carried
four times for 28 yards and also had seven receptions for a
game-high 114 yards with one touchdown. TE Jimmy Gra-
ham finished with four receptions for 100 yards with two
touchdowns.
The pass rush was led by the front seven as OLB Jun-
ior Galette, DE Cameron Jordan, DE Tyrunn Walker and
OLB Martez Wilson each recorded sacks. S Rafael Bush
recovered a fumble and CB Jabari Greer made an inter-
ception, a pair of turnovers that led to 14 points in the se-
cond quarter. CB Chris Carr and ILB Will Haerring also
added picks.
• With the win, the Saints are undefeated after four games
for the fourth time in the 47-year history of the franchise.
The 1991 (started 7-0), 1993 (started 5-0) and 2009
(started 13-0) teams also had 4-0 or better starts
• Brees passed for 300 yards for the ninth consecutive con-
test, now tied with his nine-game run between 2011 and
2012 for the longest streak in NFL history.
• With four sacks for the second straight week, it marked
the first time the Saints recorded at least four takedowns in
two straight games since the 2009 season. With his fourth
sack of the season, DE Cameron Jordan now leads the
team and is tied for seventh in the NFL.

After forcing a three-and-out to open the contests, the

er look back as they would jump up to a 20-7 halftime lead,
as they stayed turnover-free against the club that led the
NFL in takeaways going into the contest and held onto the
ball for 36 minutes. Saints QB Drew Brees completed 29-
of-35 passes for 288 yards, two touchdowns nad a 120.0
passer rating. RB Pierre Thomas, a Chicago native, was
the recipient of both touchdown throws, as he posted nine
receptions for 55 yards, also leading the team in rushing
with 36 yards. TE Jimmy Graham led the team in receiving
with 10 receptions for 135 yards.
While playing turnover free football offensively, S Mal-
colm Jenkins sacked Bears QB Jay Cutler and forced
him to fumble the ball as it was recovered by DE Cameron
Jordan. ILB David Hawthorne and S Kenny Vaccaro,
also added takeowns, while New Orleans held the Chicago
Rushing attack to under 100 yards.
• Brees finished the day by completing 29 of 35 passes for
288 yards and two touchdown passes with zero intercep-
tions, for a passer rating of 120.0. He completed 11 con-
secutive passes at one point in the first half, as he helped
get the Saints off to a 20-7 halftime lead.
• Graham tied his career-high in receiving for the second
time this season, as he led the team with 10 catches for
135 yards.
• In a return to his hometown, Thomas got the start and
finished with nine receptions for 55 yards with two touch-
downs and led the club in rushing with 36 yards.
• A stout run defense held Bears RB Matt Forte to only 55
yards on the ground. ILB Curtis Lofton led the run-
stopping effort with nine tackles (eight solo).
• New Orleans has held opponents to under 20 points for
five consecutive games for the first time since the 2000
campaign, when they did so for a six-game stretch. This is
the longest period for the club to do so to open a season,
since they held their first six opponents to under 20 points
in 1992.

ROSTER ROLL CALL
Of the 53 players currently on the Saints’ roster, 36 were
on the active roster, a reserve list or the practice squad at
the end of the 2012 season. Among newcomers, the roster
includes three unrestricted free agents, three veteran free
agents, one trade acquisition, four draft picks and six rookie
free agents.
Of the 53 players, 29 have less than four years of previous
NFL experience, including 10 players who were in their first
NFL training camp. The following is a breakdown of New
Orleans’ roster by years of experience (year entering): 13
years-1, 10 years-3, 9 years-2, 8 years-7, 7 years-4, 6
years-3, 5 years-5, 4 years-5, 3 years-7, 2 years-5, 1 year-
1, rookies-10.
HIGHER EDUCATION
42 different colleges and universities are represented on
the Saints’ roster. Of that total, seven are represented by
multiple Saints, led by three apiece from Illinois, Oklahoma
and Tennessee.
MY HOMETOWN
Saints players come from 29 different states and U.S. terri-
tories. Of the 80 players currently on the team’s roster, the
state which claims the most members of the team is Texas
with 10.
MY HOMETOWN
Saints players come from 23 different states. Of the 53
players currently on the team’s roster, the state which
claims the most members of the team is Texas with nine.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
As the competition for roster spots in training camp is in-
tense as they eventually cut down from 90 to 53, a spot on
the practice squad is another avenue to eventually get onto
the active roster. The Saints have five players who have
moved up to their 53-man roster after being on NFL
practice squads, three who have spent time on the Saints
practice roster before being promoted.
The most notable member of the group is WR Lance
Moore. After spending most of 2005 and 2006 on the
club’s practice squad, he’s evolved into one of the team’s
leading playmakers with career totals of 313 receptions for
3,868 yards with 36 scoring grabs, 37 overall touchdowns.
In club record books, his reception total is ranked fourth,
yardage total seventh, scoring grabs fifth and total touch-
downs tied for sixth. Moore again ranked among the club’s
receiving leaders in 2012 with 65 receptions for a career-
high 1,041 yards (16.0 avg.) and six touchdowns, ranking
fourth on the team in receptions, second in yardage, fourth
in touchdown grabs and first in yards per catch. His 313
career receptions rank 21st all-time among undrafted play-
ers since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, while his yardage to-
tal (3,868) is 24th and his 36 TD grabs are tied for 13th.
Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Phila-
delphia Eagles in 2008, FB Jed Collins spent parts of
three seasons on the practice squads of the Eagles, Cleve-
land Browns, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears and finally
in New Orleans for most of the 2010 campaign before he
won the lead blocking job in 2011 for the NFL’s top-ranked
offense. Collins is coming off the most productive game of
his career on Sunday 11 rushing yards and four catches.
C Brian de la Puente first broke through in 2011 after
spending most of his first three seasons in the NFL on five
different practice squad rosters, including most of the 2010
campaign with New Orleans. After making the 2011 53-
man roster out of training camp, he assumed starting cen-
ter duties permanently in week seven, opening up 12
games for the offense that set an NFL record for net yards
per game. He started all 16 games at center for the Black
and Gold in 2012. The Saints have racked up at least 400
total net yards in 25 of the 33 games that he has opened in
the middle.
T Bryce Harris was originally a member of the Falcons
practice squad as a rookie in 2012 who was signed to the
Saints active roster in week two. Harris has appeared in
seven contests, as an asset on special teams and as an
extra blocker on the offensive line, while opening one game
at right tackle.
After spending most of his rookie season on the practice
squad of Atlanta in 2010, S Rafael Bush was promoted to
the active roster for one regular season game and one
playoff contest. In 2011, he was signed to the Denver Bron-
cos roster from the Atlanta practice squad at midseason
and posted three special teams stops and nine defensive
tackles in the postseason. In 2012, Bush ranked first on the
club with a career-high 15 special teams stops and one
fumble recovery with 13 defensive tackles (nine solo), one
interception, a pass defense, a forced fumble and a fumble
recovery. In 2013, Bush has appeared in five games with
one starts and posted 16 tackles (ten solo), two passes
defensed, a fumble recovery and one special teams stop.

BUCKING THE ODDS
Players whose names are not called in the NFL Draft often
face challenging odds in sticking on a team. Yet the Saints
final 2012 53-man roster featured 25 players who had
bucked convention. The current 53-man roster features 18
undrafted veterans and six undrafted rookies. Among the
undrafted veterans who have enjoyed productive NFL ca-
reers are Moore, de la Puente, Collins, Bush, S Isa Abdul-
Quddus, RB Travaris Cadet, CB Chris Carr, DE Glenn
Foster, OLB Junior Galette, CB Jabari Greer, K Garrett
Hartley, ILB David Hawthorne, ILB Ramon Humber, DE
Tom Johnson, RB Khiry Robinson and RB Pierre Thom-
as.
After originally making the club’s 53-man opening day ros-
ter as a free agent out of divisional 1-AA Fordham in 2011,
Abdul-Quddus has played in 33 games with four starts and
posted career totals of 46 tackles (30 solo), two intercep-
tions, 10 passes defensed, one forced fumble, one fumble
recovery, 20 special teams stops and two special teams
forced fumbles.
Signed following a standout career at Appalachian State,
Cadet was one of two undrafted rookies to earn a spot on
the 2012 opening day roster. The Miami native ended up
appearing in 13 games and finished ranked third in the
NFC and tied for seventh in the NFL in kickoff return aver-
age (26.5), also chipping in seven special teams tackles.
Signed as a free agent out of Boise State by Oakland in
2005, Carr has stuck in the NFL for nine years based on
his versatility on both defense and special teams. Carr saw
his most extensive action of the season vs. Miami, Sept.
30, and made an acrobatic fourth quarter interception, his
first since 2010.
Signed as a free agent out of Illinois following the 2013
NFL Draft, where he started 23 games on the defensive
line and posted 73 tackles, four sacks, one interception and
one pass defense, Foster matched his college quarterback
takedown total in the preseason as he finished among
league leaders and earned a spot on the 53-man roster,
adding a takedown in his NFL debut vs. Arizona Sept. 22.
Signed out of Stillman in 2010, Galette has evolved into a
gifted pass rusher, appearing in 37 games with six starts,
posting totals of 63 tackles (43 solo), 12.5 sacks, two pass-
es defensed, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery. and 11
special teams stops. In 2013, Galette has converted to out-
side linebacker in the 3-4 alignment and has posted three
sacks to rank second on the team and a fumble recovery.
A 2004 undrafted signing by Buffalo out of the University of
Tennessee, Greer has returned two interceptions for touch-
downs as a Saint and recorded 61 passes defensed since
signing with the club in 2009, the most by a Black and Gold
defender over that period. In 2012, he tied for the club lead
with three picks and defended 14 passes. On Sept. 30, vs.
Miami, he recorded his first pick of 2013.
Signed by New Orleans at midseason in 2008 as an un-
drafted free agent from Oklahoma, Hartley has made his
mark as one of the most reliable kickers in club history,
making 72-of-85 field goal attempts (84.7%) with 361
points. He ranks fourth in franchise record books in field
goals and fourth in scoring as part of a season where he is
ranked first in the NFL in scoring among kickers with 50
points.
Originally signed as a free agent out of Texas Christian in
2007 by Seattle, the hard-hitting Hawthorne has appeared
in 77 career games with 56 starts, posting 413 tackles (276
solo), seven sacks, seven interceptions, 15 passes de-
fensed, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Originally joining the Indianapolis Colts in 2009 out of North
Dakota State, Humber has appeared in 43 career games
with five starts and posted 51 tackles (29 solo), one sack,
two passes defensed and one forced fumble, while excel-
ling on special teams, where he has posted 48 career
stops, including three in 2013 to rank among team leaders.
After first going to training camp out of Southern Mississip-
pi with Indianapolis in 2006 and 2007, Johnson a Moss
Point, Miss. native, took his game to the Arena Football
League and CFL from 2008-10. He stuck to the Saints ros-
ter in 2011 and has appeared in 30 games, posting 59
tackles, three sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.
Signed out of Illinois in 2007, Thomas led the club in rush-
ing in both 2008 and 2009 and has scored 33 career touch-
downs. Overall, he ranks seventh on the club’s all-time
rushing list with 674 carries for 3,11 yards, while his 4.6
yards per carry average ranks fourth in club record books.
He’s only the third player in franchise record books to have
3,000 yards rushing and 1,500 yards receiving. His 4,994
total yards from scrimmage rank seventh in club record
books and 22nd in NFL records for an undrafted player.
Signed out of West Texas A&M, the hard-running Robinson
earned a roster spot in the preseason when he led the club
in both rushing and receiving and led the league in rushing
and total yards from scrimmage (331) when he carried 49
times for 228 yards (4.7 avg.) and posted 11 receptions for
103 yards (9.4 avg.). Robinson has seen action out of the
backfield in the last three games and ranks third on the
club in rushing with 19 carries for 84 yards (4.4 avg.)

Ahead is a synopsis of the offensive line:
LEFT TACKLE Charles Brown - A 2010 second round
draft pick, this promising loffensive ineman earned the
starting left tackle job in the preseason and protects the
blindside of QB Drew Brees. The former University of
Southern California standout has opened seven games at
right tackle since 2011 and the first five of 2013 at left tack-
le for the fourth ranked offense in the NFL.
LEFT GUARD Ben Grubbs - Grubbs joined the Saints in
2012 as an unrestricted free agent and has moved into the
left guard slot after spending the first five seasons of his
career with Baltimore. Originally a first round selection
(29th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft, Grubbs has played in
95 career games with 91 starts and was an integral part of
the Ravens’ offensive productivity in the passing game and
running game as the team set or tied several team records
between 2008-11. Enjoying a breakthrough campaign in
2011, Grubbs was selected to his first Pro Bowl. Since
coming to New Orleans, Grubbs has opened 21 straight
games at left guard.
CENTER Brian de la Puente - After spending the majority
of his first three NFL seasons on the practice squads of five
clubs, de la Puente assumed starting center duties early in
the 2011 season. Since his inclusion into the lineup, the
New Orleans offense has rolled up at least 400 yards in 26
of the 33 contests he has opened up in the middle of the
offensive line. In 2012, the Southern California native has
opened all five games for an offense ranked fourth in the
NFL in net yards per game and ninth in scoring.
RIGHT GUARD Jahri Evans - The 2006 fourth round draft
choice has made a rapid ascent from his small school roots
at Bloomsburg into one of the NFL’s top interior linemen
and one of the top offensive linemen in franchise history.
Evans has been named to four consecutive Pro Bowls
since the 2009 season, all as a starter, as well as being
named Associated Press first-team All-Pro from 2009-12.
His 114 streak of straight starts which ended Sept. 22, vs.
Arizona, was the longest streak to begin a career in New
Orleans and the second-longest streak at the time by an
active NFL guard, tied for third-longest overall among NFL
players.

RIGHT TACKLE Zach Strief - This 2006 seventh round
pick out of Northwestern has appeared in 99 regular sea-
son games and eight postseason contests. A team captain
for the second consecutive year, Strief has opened all five
games on the right side.
SCORING DEFENSE
After ranking 31st in opponent points per game in 2012,
under the coordination of Rob Ryan, New Orleans has ris-
en in the rankings to fifth as they have not given up 20
points in any of their contests, marking a five-game streak
of doing so for the first time since the 2000 season (six
game streak). It also marks the first time that the Saints
have given up below 20 points in the season’s first four
games since the 1992 campaign, when they did not do so
until the seventh contest of the season.

In his eighth season with the team, special teams coor-
dinator Greg McMahon’s units have consistently been de-
fined by solid performances by the kicking, coverage and
return games.
Stressing opportunistic play since 2006, the unit has re-
covered 14 fumbles, scored ten touchdowns - six on punt
returns and two on blocked punts – and blocked two punts,
four field goals and two extra points.
Since 2008, New Orleans has been ranked in the top 10
in kickoff return average three times and finished ranked
11th in the league in 2012, averaging 24.8 yards per return.
Running back Darren Sproles led the club with a 26.8
kickoff return average, while rookie running back Travaris
Cadet, who made the team as an undrafted free agent took
over primary kickoff return duties for the Black and Gold at
midseason and finished second among NFL rookies with a
26.5 return average, including a club-long 75-yard runback.
In 2013, Sproles has sparked the club’s punt return game
with several long returns, as his 8.7 average is currently
ranked fourth in the NFC and tenth in the NFL.
The club’s current specialists have enjoyed standout
performances throughout their tenures with the club. P
Thomas Morstead was selected to his first Pro Bowl fol-
lowing the 2012 season and has kept up the pace, aver-
averaging 47.7 gross and 44.3 net, while creating unfavor-
able field position for opponents, who have the league’s
11th lowest return average, during a period when the
Saints have faced some of the league’s elite return men. K
Garrett Hartley has booted 12-of-14 field goals in 2013,
including a game-winning 27-yard kick vs. Tampa Bay,
Sept. 15 and tying a career-high by booting four field goals
at Chicago on Sunday.
The coverage units were buoyed by a mixture of main-
stays and new additions. S Rafael Bush, acquired off of
waivers from the Denver Broncos at the conclusion of the
preseason, led the team with 15 special teams tackles in
2012, while recovering a fumble on punt coverage, which
would lead to a New Orleans touchdown, adding one cov-
erage stop in 2013. Inside linebackers Will Herring, voted
a special teams captain in 2013 and Ramon Humber fin-
ished tied for second on the club with 14 coverage stops
apiece in 2012, while also adding one and five respectively
through the season’s first five games in 2013. Rookie in-
side linebacker Kevin Reddick, an undrafted free agent
out of the University of North Carolina has proven to be a
find, as he currently leads the team with seven special
teams stops and one forced fumble.

Saints-Patriots: Regular Season Game 6
DREW BREES
• Since first signing with New Orleans as a free agent in
2006, Brees has thrown for 4,000 or more yards each of his
seven seasons with the club, the only quarterback in Na-
tional Football League history to throw for 5,000 yards in
three different seasons, setting the league single-season
yardage record in 2011 and ranked at or near the top in
every passing category, both in single-seasons and over
the seven-year period as a member of the Saints, breaking
nearly every club record.
• In 2012, the seven-time Pro Bowl selection completed
422-of-670 throws (63.0%) for 5,177 yards with 43 touch-
down passes, 19 interceptions and a 96.3 passer rating, as
he was selected to the league’s All-Star game for the fourth
consecutive season . Brees finished the season ranked first
in the National Football League in both passing yardage
and touchdown passes. He joined Dan Marino (1984, 86),
as only the second signal-caller to have two seasons with
40 or more touchdown passes and in leading the league in
touchdown passes for a fourth time, tied an NFL record
held also by Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson, Steve Young and
Brett Favre. It also marked the fourth time in his seven sea-
sons as a Saint he led the league in passing yards (2006,
2008, 2011). Brees also finished tied for third in the NFL in
completions and ranked eighth in passer rating.
• In 2013, Brees is following up with another standout sea-
son, as he’s completed 140-of-201 passes (69.7%) for
1,722 yards, 12 touchdowns, four interceptions, one rush-
ing touchdown and a 107.4 passer rating. He’s furrently
ranked second in the NFL in passing yardage, third in com-
pletions, fourth in completion percentage, average gain
(8.57), touchdown passes and passer rating and sixth in
third down passer rating (100.3).
• Few players in the modern day free agency era have
made the impact that Brees has on the Saints, who is con-
sidered one of the most productive signings in league his-
tory. Since 2006, he leads the NFL with 35,293 yards, 256
touchdown passes, 4,541 attempts, 3,050 completions, a
67.2 % completion percentage, 64 games with at least 300
yards, ten with at least 400, 276 completions of 25 yards or
more and ranks fourth in the league with a 98.6 passer rat-
ing.
• Brees has been selected to play in six Pro Bowls as a
Saint, with seven overall berths in the National Football
League’s all-star game, twice as the conference’s starting
signal-caller. Brees is the only Saints quarterback to be
selected to the All-Star game more than twice. His six se-
lections as a Saint is tied for second all-time in club record
books.
• Brees has posted a 74-42 regular season record in
games he’s started since joining the Saints in 2006. Includ-
ing his five playoff victories, he’s recorded 79 total wins as
a Saint, making him the winningest quarterback in fran-
chise history. Brees’ win total ranks third among NFL signal
-callers since arriving in New Orleans in 2006.
• Clutch when it counts at the most important times for his
team, Brees has successfully engineered 22 regular sea-
son game-winning drives in the fourth quarter and overtime
as a Saint, including his most recent one against Tampa
Bay, Sept. 15. He’s also led a pair of comebacks in the
2009 postseason, including in overtime of the NFC
Championship game and the fourth quarter go-ahead scor-
ing drive for a touchdown in the team’s Super Bowl XLIV
victory.
• In his 13-year National Football League career, Brees has
completed 4,175-of-6,350 passes (65.7%) for 47,641
yards, 336 touchdown throws and a 94.7 rating. He’s the
National Football League’s all-time third-most accurate
passer, is ranked fourth in completions, sixth in touchdown
passes and passing yardage and seventh in passer rating.
He’s only the seventh player in NFL record books to throw
for at least 47,000 yards.
• Until he failed to throw for a touchdown at Atlanta, Nov.
29, 2012, Brees had thrown a touchdown pass in 54 con-
secutive regular season games, surpassing Johnny Unitas
for the longest streak in National Football League history
on October 7 vs. San Diego with his 48th. The streak
spanned four seasons from 2009-12.
• Twice in the past three seasons, Brees has passed for at
least 300 yards in an NFL-record nine consecutive games.
His most recent streak spanned both the 2012 and 2013
seasons and ended this past Sunday at Chicago.

ery, while also tying a career-best by adding four stops on

while he also set a career-high in fumble recoveries, tying
for the team lead and for 15th in the NFL. In 2013, as the

ership abilities in the middle of the New Orleans defense
will be integral to this change.
• During his six-year NFL career, Lofton has recorded dou-
ble-digit tackle totals in 38 games. With his team-best 157
tackles, Lofton reached double-digit figures in seven con-
tests in 2012 and has done so twice in 2013.

MALCOLM JENKINS
• A consensus All-American at Ohio State and the top-rated
defensive back in the 2009 NFL Draft, where he was
picked 14th overall, Jenkins was converted by the Saints to
the safety position in 2010, where he has shown a nose for
the end zone, as he has returned one fumble and two inter-
ceptions for touchdowns in the last four seasons, as part of
career totals of 340 tackles (243 solo), two sacks, five
picks, 34 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and three
fumble recoveries.
• In 2012 despite missing the last three games with a ham-
string injury, Jenkins finished ranked third on the club in
stops with 95 tackles (70 solo), one interception return for a
TD, five passes defensed and a blocked field goal. Known
for making big plays at opportune times, the defensive
team captain’s biggest tackle of 2012 occurred, Oct. 21, at
Tampa Bay, when he stopped Buccaneers WR Vincent
Jackson at the New Orleans one-yard line as he caught up
to him following a 95-yard pass play. New Orleans would
eventually end up stopping Tampa Bay on four plays on a
crucial goal line stand.
• Voted a team captain for the second straight season, Jen-
kins has gotten off to a quick start as he forced fumble by
Falcons WR Julio Jones that was recovered by Harper in
the opener vs. Atlanta, Sept. 8. He also chipped in five
tackles (one solo). On Sept. 15 at Tampa Bay, Jenkins
picked off QB Josh Freeman and returned it 31 yards. On
Sunday at Chicago, he sacked Bears QB Jay Cutler, forc-
ing a fumble that was recovered by teammate Cameron
Jordan. Jenkins has filled up the stat sheet, posting 21
tackles (14 solo), one sack, one interception, two passes
defensed and a team-leading two forced fumbles, while
adding a special teams stop.
ISA ABDUL-QUDDUS
• This former undrafted free agent who snagged a roster
spot out of Division 1-AA Fordham as a rookie with his play
on special teams has impressed on both coverage units
and defense. Appearing in 15 contests with three starts in
2012, Abdul-Quddus filled up the stat sheet by posting 36
tackles (24 solo), two interceptions, eight pass defenses
and one fumble recovery and nine special teams stops.
After suffering an ankle injury at the conclusion of the pre-
season that sidelined him for the first three games, he’s
posted one tackle in limited defensive action in two games
in 2013.

Saints-Bears: Regular Season Game 5
RAFAEL BUSH
• Claimed off of waivers at the conclusion of the 2012 pre-
season, this second-year safety was a constant on the
club’s special teams units, while also becoming an integral
part of the club’s multiple defensive back packages. In
2012, Bush appeared in all 16 games, ranking first on the
club with 15 special teams tackles and one fumble recov-
ery, while also chipping in 13 defensive tackles (nine solo),
a 40-yard interception return, one pass defense, one forced
fumble and one fumble recovery.
• Joining Abdul-Quddus as another diamond from the Divi-
sion 1-AA ranks, Bush has started the first two games of
his NFL career in consecutive weeks as a third safety and
has posted 16 tackles (14 solo), two passes defensed and
one fumble recovery, while also adding one stop on special
teams.
KENNY VACCARO
• A first-team All-American at the University of Texas and
one of the top-rated defensive backs in the 2013 NFL Draft,
the club’s first-round pick is a versatile defender who is ex-
pected to immediately became on asset on defense. He
started 32-of-51 games for the Longhorns and finished his
college career with 264 tackles, two sacks, 16 stops for
losses, five interceptions, 21 passes defensed, four forced
fumbles, one fumble recovery, two blocked kicks and 14
special teams stops. As a senior in 2012, he earned first-
team All-American and All-Big 12 as he totaled a team-
leading 107 tackles, four stops for a loss, two interceptions,
five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a recovery.
• Vaccaro made his regular season debut in Black and
Gold vs. Atlanta, Sept. 8, a memorable one, as he opened
the contest in a nickel package and stayed on the field for
every defensive snap except for one. The hard-hitter post-
ed seven tackles, but his most significant play of the con-
test was the last defensive snap when he broke up a pass
in the end zone that was picked up by Harper for an inter-
ception to help preserve New Orleans’ 23-17 victory. He
has filled up the stat sheet as a candidate for NFL Defen-
sive Rookie of the Year as he has opened all five games in
the New Orleans secondary and ranks among club leaders
with 32 tackles (26 solo), one sack, one interception and
two pass defenses, while also making contributions on spe-
cial teams.

THOMAS MORSTEAD
• P Thomas Morstead, the club’s fifth round draft pick in
2009, was among the nation’s top punters at Southern
Methodist University and continued that trend in his three
years with the Saints. In 2012, he enjoyed one of the finest
seasons by a Saints punter, ranking second in the NFL in
both net (43.2) punting average and gross (50.1), as he
was selected to the Pro Bowl and named an Associated
Press second-team All-Pro.

45 of Morstead’s kickoffs sailed into the end zone for touch-
backs in 2012, tied for sixth in the NFL, to assist the New
Orleans defense in the battle for field position.
Thomas Morstead has established himself as one of the
most productive punters in NFL history through three sea-
sons as a member of the Saints after being picked by the
club in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He’s the
team’s all-time leader in both gross (47.2) and net average
(40.5). Morstead’s 43.2 net average in 2012 ranked fourth

PUNT/KICKOFF COVERAGE UNITS
• Players who are expected to play key roles on coverage
units in 2013 include Abdul-Quddus, Bush, Cadet, Herring,
Humber, Reddick, CB Rod Sweeting, Vaccaro, White and
Wilson.
• Signed by New Orleans as an unrestricted free agent
from Seattle in 2011, Herring has been a stalwart on the
special teams units the past two seasons. In 2013, the
newly elected special teams captain has one stop to add to
his career total of 55.
• After ranking among team leaders with 11 special stops
as a rookie in 2011, Wilson, a converted linebacker, has
been important to the Saints both on defense and special
teams, where he finished ranked fourth on the club with a
career-high 13 stops and a blocked punt, which was recov-
ered and returned for a touchdown.
• After recording 17 special teams stops to lead the Indian-
apolis Colts team as a rookie in 2009 that faced the Saints
in Super Bowl XLIV, Humber joined the Saints in 2010 and
has since been an integral part of the club’s special teams
units. Posting 45 career special teams stops, Humber, re-
joined the club during training camp and finished tied for
second on the squad with Herring with 14 coverage tack-
les, adding two stops in 2013.
• Acquired off of waivers from the Denver Broncos for his
special teams acumen at the final 53-man roster cutdown,
Bush, a second-year veteran, made an immediate impact
as he led the Saints as he finished his first season in New
Orleans and first full NFL campaign ranked first on the club
with a career-high 15 special teams stops, also adding a
fumble recovery and also became a valued member of the
secondary, posting 16 tackles (14 solo), two passes de-
fensed and one fumble recovery, while also adding one
stop on special teams.
• Beating the odds to secure a roster spot as an undrafted
free agent, Reddick, a hard-hitting linebacker from the Uni-
versity of North Carolina was a two-time team captain for
the Tarheels who posted 275 career tackles. His tackling
ability will be an asset on special teams, where he leads
the team with seven stops and one forced fumble.
• Sweeting is an undrafted free agent from Georgia Tech
who also secured a roster spot based on his speed and
coverage skills that were displayed in the preseason. On
Sept. 15 at Tampa Bay, he recorded his first career special
teams tackle.
