Today at 1:00 p.m. the New Orleans Saints (5-1), fresh off a bye week, will host the Buffalo Bills (3-4) in the Superdome in Week 8 action that can be live streamed here. Bills fans can access the radio broadcast on WGR 550 AM, while Saints fans can listen to the tilt on WWL FM 105.3.
The Saints are likely to come out firing on all cylinders this week, following a devastating defeat at the hands of the Patriots two weeks ago, followed by a bye week to dwell on the loss.
"At times, when you lose, especially a tough loss like that, you make more of an impact when you're encouraging and very positive," said quarterback Drew Brees.
"At times, human nature would tell you to do one thing when really you may need to just take a deep breath and do the other. I think after a loss, human nature would tell you to get all riled up and mad and angry and yell. I think cooler heads prevailed and Sean has a great feel for that, to say, 'Man, you guys battled, you played your heart out. It didn't go our way this time but there's going to be many more like this. Let's be ready to win those.'"
Injuries will play a major role in this game, as two big names are questionable for Sunday's matchup. Saints tight end Jimmy Graham injured his foot against the Patriots and has yet to participate fully in practice since the game. He is a gametime decision.
For Buffalo, star running back C.J. Spiller has been dealing with an ankle injury that's clearly limited him for most of the season. Spiller is doubtful, and his fellow back Fred Jackson is toughing out the game with injuries of his own. "I expect to be out there. I'll do everything I can," Jackson said.
