METAIRIE, La. - The New Orleans Saints lost power at their practice facility when Hurricane Zeta hit the area on Wednesday afternoon. But otherwise the team's normal operations were not disrupted much.
Coaches stayed at the facility and did their normal game-planning work under generator power on Wednesday afternoon and evening, while players were sent home to ride out the storm.
"The power went out here, the generators came on. They worked. And we got our work done," coach Sean Payton said. "So it was relatively pretty smooth here."
