What we learned: Saints’ Ben Watson and Drew Brees turn back hands of time in 43-37 overtime win vs. Falcons

On a day that saw the Saints defense meet their weekly quota for yards given up (more on that later), it was the contributions of two old timers turning back the hands of time that stood out.

Throughout the game, there were moments where Drew Brees and Benjamin Watson looked like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 4, as both took their lumps while proving they could still hang athletically with the young guns in their 18th and 15th NFL seasons respectively.
