Both the Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints finished 7-9 in 2015, but that won't make their 2016 regular season opener any less interesting.

If anything, Amerson wants it that way and is preparing for it to go down just like that. The Jets, who went 10-6 previous year and are looking to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2010, fell to 26-30 all-time in openers. These are two guys who have been pretty solid in training camp and some preseason games.

As for the offense, if it's what we are used to seeing over the last 10 years, then you know Brees will lead them down the field. This week, New Orleans brought back right guard Jahri Evans and brought in rookie kicker Wil Lutz and veteran cornerback Sterling Moore. Robertson had a game-high 11 tackles, two for loss, a quarterback hit and a pass defensed vs.

Flacco was playing in his first regular-season game since November 22 when he tore both his ACL and MCL against the then-St. Nelson has picked off Brees once, in 2010.

"Drew felt like this was going to get done, I felt like this was going to get done", Payton said. "Communication is the number one key".

Allen has some pieces out there to get things done in this game, as well as the entire season. "We work hard at the relationships and I think having that and having that with our staff and having this staff with the players, I think there is value in it". Hopefully, it favors the Saints at the end of it all.

Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said Vang acted erratically when confronted by staff and did not cooperate with officers. He was previously sentenced in 1998 to 19 years in prison on numerous rape charges involving teens aged 14 and under.

Brandin Cooks is one of the fastest receivers in the NFL.

NOTES: K Sebastian Janikowski became Oakland's all-time leader in seasons of service (17), passing former WR Tim Brown. It also became the longest pass from scrimmage in the National Football League over the last four seasons. Brees has saved the Saints before and if New Orleans has a chance to move the ball on offense it's going to have to be in the air.

"As a secondary if you want to test yourself and see how good you are right now and how good you could be, it's the flawless game to go out there and go after it", Amerson said.

The play put Brees over 300 yards, the 97th time that has happened in his career.

The Colts originally opened as 6 point favorites against a Lions team that looks far less scary without Calvin Johnson around.

On Sunday, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio did a very bold thing when he chose to go for a two-point conversion with less than a minute left and the Raiders having the opportunity to tie the Saints on the road. He's the team's ninth offensive lineman and even with Austin Howard out with an ankle injury, teams often have only seven active lineman.
