The Saints passing game faces a major test this Sunday against Seattle. The Seahawks have become one of the best teams in the league, because of how they defend the pass. New Orleans Quarterback Drew Brees says Seattle’s defense doesn’t have a weak link…:
Cut 16 (13) “handle pressure”
Sunday’s game also marks the return of tight end Jimmy Graham to the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The Seahawks tight end’s first five seasons in the NFL were in New Orleans where he caught 51 touchdown passes. Brees said it was surprising to see Graham go in the offseason of 2015, adding they were close but both understand that things like that happen in this league. He says he’s sure Graham will be excited to be back, and that the fan base will be happy to see him again, as they appreciate all he did for New Orleans. The FOX game kicks off at noon.
