To open up the National Football League season this Thursday, September 8th, the New Orleans Saints faced the super bowl defending Green Bay Packers at Green Bay. This was an exciting match up with two of the leagues greatest quarterbacks Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers facing off and it was sure a big day for fantasy owners of these players. The Packers were able to hold the lead the entire game, however Sean Payton and the Saints were able to be competitive and keep it a close game. Drew Brees made heroic efforts and brought his team to the 1 yard-line on the final drive of the game. Sean Payton turned to their first round overall draft choice Mark Ingram, being a power back it wasn't a poor decision. Unfortunatley the Green Bay Defensive Front was able to hold Ingram back when the game was in his hands. This could have been a great way for Ingram to boost his confidence being able to run the ball past the goal line especially since the game was at Green Bay. I see both of these teams making it to the playoffs this season and both have the potential to be dangerous late in the post season.
