The usage for New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray went up this week by nearly 10 percent, according to the Week 6 snap counts.

In the Saints' 12-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Murray took the field for 28 of the Saints' 66 plays, or 42 percent. His highest outing before the Jacksonville game was Week 2's game against the Los Angeles Rams, where he was in on 35 percent of the plays.

Murray's statistics reflected his increased usage. His 79 yards...

3 Ups and 1 Down from yesterday’s win over the Jaguars

An ugly win is still a win, right?

It was still a roller coast of a game, with plenty of “Ups” and “Downs” along the way, though. Here are a few that stood out:

Down: Teddy Bridgewater

Please understand that I’m by no means a “Teddy Bridgewater Hater” or anything of the sort. I think Bridgewater will be a great NFL quarterback, whether for the New Orleans Saints or elsewhere in 2020. That being said, I’m not a blind homer either. I’m simply willing to point out...

The Saints improved to 5-1 with a 13-6 win over the Jaguars that showed the team’s ability to grind out a win behind a strong defensive performance.

New Orleans has won four games in a row and they haven’t always followed the same script. They gave up 514 yards in a 33-27 win over the Seahawks, didn’t score a touchdown the next week while beating the Cowboys and then outlasted the Buccaneers in a 34-27 win in Week Five. According to the team, the common thread is...

Good morning Y’all

As always, for our novice readers or non-New Orleanians, welcome!

Let’s start with some definitions:

Beignets (English: /bɛnˈjeɪ/; French: [bɛɲɛ], ben-YAY literally bump) are distinctly New Orleans, a delicacy intimately connected to the city’s rich French heritage. Best enjoyed heavily powdered with sugar.

Café au lait (/ˌkæfeɪ oʊ ˈleɪ, kæˌfeɪ, kə-/; French: [kafe olɛ]; French for “coffee with milk”) is a delicious New Orleans way to start...

The Jaguars didn’t have a prayer against the Saints on Sunday.

Pope Francis accidentally tweeted support for the Saints only hours before they took the field in Jacksonville.

“Today we give thanks to the Lord for our new #Saints,” Pope Francis tweeted. “They walked by faith and now we invoke their intercession.”

The hashtag inadvertently added the Fleur de Lis to the tweet.

The Saints retweeted Pope Francis after their 13-6 victory, respoinding, “Couldn’t lose...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Thomas Morstead felt good for the first time in two weeks.

The New Orleans Saints punter had been battling a "GI bug" and a "respiratory rut" recently, with a light fever as of late. But during Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Morstead felt like himself.

"I felt kind of young today," Morstead, 33, said. "So that was nice."

Feeling youthful helped Morstead dominate in the punting game. Five of Morstead's six punts landed...

What seemed like a simple religious tweet from Pope Francis on Sunday turned into a social media moment that New Orleans Saints fans likely will remember for a long time.

On Sunday, Pope Francis tweeted out his gratitude to God for a group of newly canonized Saints. What he didn't realize is that when he tweeted "#Saints," Twitter's algorithm automatically added a fleur-de-lis to his tweet.

The tweet quickly caught the Who Dat Nation's attention, and some of the...

Saints' Cam Jordan may seem like he's all over the map, but he knows right where he is

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Just try to keep Cam Jordan pinned down.

It feels like it must be just as hard in a postgame locker room as it is for offensive tackles on the field. Wherever he is, Jordan is all over the map, but wherever he is, he is also in control. Try to ask him about the game and be satisfied instead with mustache commentary. Try to defend his speed off the edge and he’ll beat you with strength. Try leading him one direction — “Does it ever get old…” —...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Teddy Bridgewater apologized to Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen following Sunday's game.

Not that the Saints' backup quarterback really needed to.

Nobody in the Saints' close-knit locker room cares about how they win or who gets the credit.

They only care about the end result, which for the fourth straight week without Drew Brees was another Saints victory.

Simply put, the Saints just keep scrapping and finding ways to win...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Latavius Murray had a more important place to be during practice on Friday.

Murray's fiancée, Shauntay Skanes, went into labor just before midnight on Thursday. Nearly 24 hours later, their son Marley was born at 11:06 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 11.

"It was a long, long process sitting in the hospital just kinda playing the waiting game," Murray said. "But once she gave birth, everything just went away. You're just happy that you had a healthy...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It wasn’t a big statistical game for New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook, but three of the game’s most crucial plays ended with the ball in his hands.

In the first quarter, Cook converted a third and 13 by beating his man to the sideline on a deep out for a 13-yard catch, putting the Saints in position for Wil Lutz to give the team a 3-0 lead with a 47-yard field goal a few plays later.

Cook scored New Orleans’ only touchdown of the game...

The Saints, with an inadvertent blessing from the Pope, moved to 5-1 on Sunday with a win over the Jaguars. They shut down the Jacksonville offense, holding them to 226 total yards and making rookie phenom Gardner Minshew II look decidedly less than phenomenal.

After the game, Saints defensive end Cam Jordan explained to PFT by phone that their experiences against other elusive quarterbacks made it easier to corral Minshew.

On a day when Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t on point and Alvin Kamara clearly appeared to be less than 100 percent, the Saints’ defense stepped up in a big way in their 13-6 victory at Jacksonville.

New Orleans allowed just 226 total yards and held the Jaguars to two field goals.

It was the third straight game Dennis Allen’s defense has held its opponent to less than 260 total yards, after allowing 257 yards to the Cowboys and 252 to the Buccaneers the last two weeks...
