The Saints killed it on the felid, but absolutely destroyed the locker room
NFL rivalries will always bring out the best in a player. What happens when they win or through, however? The New Orleans Saints should be giving out “Celebration 101” lessons on that.
Following the team’s dominating 38-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was clear New Orleans was ready to party as if they were on Bourbon Street. And thanks to several videos that took over the Internet, fans received a front-row look at the Canal Street champions tearing up the locker room at Raymond James Stadium.
The kicker of it all is if you right in the middle, that’s head coach Sean Peyton hitting some moves that would make even Michael Thomas and Marshon Lattimore jealous next to offensive tackle Terron Armstead.
Is Sunday’s dancing proof the Saints are back?
Much like their moves inside the locker room, the Saints killed it on the field for all 60 minutes. In a game that was expected to be in favor of Tom Brady and the red-hot Bucs, New Orleans commandeered a victory from the swashbucklers and now a half-game lead in the NFC South standings.
Drew Brees threw for 222 yards with four touchdowns as Michael Thomas returned to action to lead the team with five catches for 51 yards. Brady, who’s been near flawless since Week 1, battled consistent pressure, throwing three interceptions on the way to the team’s third loss.
In a close battle for the divisional crown, Sunday’s outing could bless New Orleans in the long run for the division title. For now, let’s all consider ourselves winners seeing Peyton shake and wave it like he just doesn’t care.
The way things looked on Sunday, this might not be the last time we see the Saints dancing in Tampa Bay.
