Saints mock Detroit Lions with heartbreaking loss montage – and then lose
The video board at the Superdome showed three of the most famous Lions losses: Dan Orlovsky running out the back of the end zone, Aaron Rodgers throwing a game-winning Hail Mary at Ford Field, and Justin Tucker hitting an NFL-record 66-yard field goal at the buzzer.
First and foremost, that is extremely impolite. And also amusing. I’m curious how they chose these three games.

Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn recently provided insights into Martin’s development. Glenn highlighted that the transition from college to the NFL has been challenging for Martin, particularly in mastering hand techniques essential for his position. However, there’s a silver lining as Martin shows improvement in practice, dedicating time before and after sessions to hone his skills.
“Man, just coming from where he did in college and understand exactly how he has to play in this league (NFL),” Glenn stated. ‘The one thing I think that he had an issue with early is just being able to use his hands and understand how to use his hands. And man, I tell him in practice, he’s doing a really good job of that. I mean before practice, after practice, those are the things that Brodric is doing a really good job of to get himself on the field.”
Glenn also emphasized the importance of lateral agility for defensive linemen, an area where Martin is diligently working to improve.
“And then other than that, man, I’m a big believer in D-linemen being able to have lateral agility and he’s working his butt off trying to work on those things too.”
