¦The Saints aren’t trying to go undefeated this year.
They’re just trying to win every game.
“You can’t do it any other way,” said Saints Coach Sean Payton, who ironically described his approach to being 11-0 in the exact way he described his approach to starting 0-4 in 2007 — by taking it one game at a time.
“I can’t speak for the players, but I don’t know where (the goal of an undefeated season) fits in for us. It’s not at the top of the list as much as winning this week’s game in Washington,” Payton said. “I know you’ve heard me say that, but I couldn’t tell you who we play three weeks from now, really.
“Certainly we’re aware that we’ve been able to play well and win 11 games, and that gives you confidence. And yet, the next challenge is up, and you really have to jump in and get submerged in it.”
