Being the Honey Badger

Happy Friday, and welcome to the Nov. 15 edition of the Saints Insider newsletter.

We are two days away from the Saints’ game against the Cleveland Browns at Caesars Superdome. The Saints will be looking to stay on the winning track after snapping a 7-game losing streak last week. Here’s a look at our stories from Thursday.

Tyrann’s redemption

Safety Tyrann Mathieu wasn’t pleased with the way he has played since his arrival in his hometown of New Orleans. But then he came out against the Falcons and recorded a key interception, a sign that he’s still got it. Read Luke Johnson’s story on Mathieu.

Austin’s power

Receiver Kevin Austin has been tucked away on the practice squad. That didn’t stop him from showing coaches what he can do. It was enough to get him elevated from the practice squad and into some real game action.

Play action

One of the biggest reasons for the Saints’ success Sunday was Klint Kubiak using more play action passes. Why was it so effective? Well, here’s why.

Ace in the hole

Alvin Kamara has a new business venture, partnering with Five O Four golf. Read all about it here in this story.

Good news

The Saints’ injury report had some good news. Two key defensive backs were back. Check the injury report here to see who is back.

That’s all for today. Be sure to go to www.nola.com today for more updates, including a story on center Erik McCoy’s return to the lineup. Also, read about Browns’ quarterback Jameis Winston returning to face his former team.

We’ll record an episode of The Saints Insider podcast today, so make sure you’re subscribing to the YouTube channel.

As always, thanks for reading.
