Sunday afternoon’s matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Kansas City Chiefs was tailor-made for overreactions. As if the defending Super Bowl champions coming to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome wasn’t already a matchup for the ages, toss in quarterback Drew Brees’s return to the field after missing the previous four games due to 11 rib fractures and a collapsed lung.
One then only needs to mention that at the last second Saints All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas was placed on the injured reserve (IR) to add more drama to the mix. Saints social media and the CSC chat was flowing with overreactions immediately following the game.
