Saints players praise Antoine Winfield Jr. after epic performance in Bucs' Week 8 win

Antoine Winfield Jr. had an incredible game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.

Winfield was mic’d up for his big game in New Orleans, and the hot mic revealed Saints players praising him after the game for his performance.

Safety Jordan Howden, who like Winfield, played his college ball for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, referred to Winfield as ‘the chosen one’.
