Quarterback Drew Brees called the New Orleans Saints victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football a ‘waking up’ moment, and that ‘it’s about time’.

The New Orleans Saints needed a win in their bid to win the wide open NFC South. Even at 2-4, they have a good chance to take the division as the rest of its teams struggle. They knew they’d be in a shootout with the Packers on Sunday Night, but this time the Saints came through with a 44-23 statement victory. The Saints are back and with a looming matchup against the Carolina Panthers ahead, QB Drew Brees knows the team woke up at the right time.

“It’s like my grandfather always said.” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said, per ESPN. “He said there’s three types of people or three types of teams in this world: those that make it happen, those that watch it happen and there’s those that wake up one day and say, ‘What the heck happened?’ I feel like all this year we’ve been waking up and saying, ‘What the heck happened?’ It’s about time we made it happen.”

Brees certainly made it happen with 311 passing yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions. After a back-breaking late INT cost the Saints the game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, Brees was close to flawless in Week 8 against the Packers, going 27-for-32 on his pass attempts.

The Saints will need a repeat performance on Thursday night when they visit division-leading Carolina. The Panthers have struggled as well and this would be a prime opportunity for the Saints to set the tone for the second half of their 2014 NFL season.
