Saints vs. Vikings: Here’s what Saints’ coach Sean Payton told his defense about Brett Favre before last season’s NFC Championship game – “If you keep hitting him (on Sunday) he’ll make a mistake. If we keep putting pressure on him (Sunday night) he’ll start being careful, he’ll start doing anything he can to avoid getting hit and he’ll make a mistake. I promise you, if we hit him for four quarters, he’ll turn into that old man who’s scared of the rain.” They left Favre black and blue. Hopefully, the Saints will do the same tonight. [NOLA]
