"Hey, listen to me now! "There's three stages to this game. You play, you compete and lethal. "When you're a kid, you play. You play because you love this game. You love the game of football. "Then you tarted learning fundamentals. You started learning technique. You started learning how to compete. And how to win. "Then the third stage... not everybody gets to the third stage. Not everybody gets to be lethal. "But when you get a group of guys, a team like this that love one another, that play for one another... that's lethal. "When you go into every game and know that you got a chance to win - no matter what the circumstances, you will find a way to win - that's lethal! "All season long we played. We competed. "And tonight? We are lethal!"Check it out below. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoadKxDq4O/ He had Michael Thomas hanging off his every word and the pair formed an unbreakable connection that was a consistent supply line for the Saints all night. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1085105091605159936 Thomas has been absolutely brilliant again this season and, on Sunday night past, he clocked up another 12 receptions totalling a crazy 171 yards as Brees sought out his reliable wide receiver time and time again.
