Saints Dethrone Rams as NFL's Team to Beat
The phone rings.
"Who dis?"
Michael Thomas answers, "It's the New Orleans Saints."
"Who dat?"
The receiver responds, "The NFL's best team, that's who."
Thomas' performance during Sunday's 45-35 victory over the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Rams will be long discussed due to his on-field production and touchdown celebration.
"That's something that some kids don't do, to pay homage to an old soul," former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn said of Thomas' cell-phone tribute, per the Times-Picayune's Larry Holder. "For him to do it on a national stage took a lot of courage. I'm humbled."
The young man's domination only serves as a microcosm of the Saints overall success, though.
