Nah, Sean Payton understood that momentum in a game that big was paramount. There was nothing lesser about that Saints squad. Perhaps undervalued, maybe under recognized due to market but as far as talent, go and compare both rosters, both teams were stacked. I understand how the "lesser tean" angle adds to the great coach narrative for Payton, which I'm not denying he is, but in this case...right bark, wrong tree.
