The New Orleans Saints shared a look inside their victorious locker room on Sunday, where head coach Kellen Moore awarded game balls and addressed the team after knocking out the New York Giants. Even though they started slow and almost gave it away in the fourth quarter, there were plenty of congratulations to go around.
Moore shouted out the defense for creating four turnovers -- intercepting both Giants quarterbacks with linebacker Isaiah Stalbird forcing a fumble on special teams. He also recognized the offense for rushing for 175 yards on the ground, and the offensive line for paving the way. Alvin Kamara received a game ball for joining the 5,000 Yards Club. So did cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., who picked off both Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy. Veteran left guard David Edwards was given a game ball for petitioning a QB sneak at the goal line, and he was chosen to deliver the final word before breaking down the huddle.

Winning cures everything in the NFL. The calls for Moore's job and the criticism for general manager Mickey Loomis aren't going away. That the Saints nearly choked a 34-10 lead is proof they aren't where they need to be just yet. But cutting their losing streak off at three weeks was exactly what they needed if they're going to salvage this season. Now let's see them do it again in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
