Archie: Saints Should Be Wary Of Lions
20th December, 2008 - 8:15 pm
The Ledger - Archie Manning believes that the Saints should be wary of the winless Lions when they take the field on Sunday.

"I never played in a playoff game and won it, never have, in the NFL, been in a championship game. But I don't think a championship win could be better than to get that monkey off your back," Manning said this week.

Manning played for the Saints in 1980 when the team opened the season 0-14 before recording a win in their final game.

"I know the Saints are out of the playoff picture, but they don't need to go up there and wallow around," Manning said. "They need to be up and mentally ready to play as hard as they ever have. To me, if I'm a coach, I would rather be going in there to play an 8-6 team instead of an 0-14 team." [READ]
