In standard, Marson Lattimer did not want to do the Day of Thanksgiving playing football.

"You're trying to be with your own family for Thanksgiving dinner," said Lattimore. "I than any other will work dwellings and to look."

But on a more serious note, Lattimore understands, in fact, that this is not much than any other than this.

Saints opposite the falcons.

A day of thanksgiving.

Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

"It will be something special," said Lattimor. "Everyone will work and look. For example, the fact that we are obliged to demonstrate and organize own work."

For the first time, the dome will not be closed for business on Thanksgiving Day, for example, as the saints play their first household game at the celebration. It's elementary 2nd game Thanksgiving blameless in the situation of the franchise. (They headed to Dallas and beat 30-27 cowboys in Jerry's world in 2010.)

Game Day Thanksgiving, similarly, are looking for the hottest team in the NFL, the top on the League, winning streaks of 9 games, which gave the Who Dat Nation a large amount of gratitude for this season.

They have all the chances to be grateful, in fact that Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker missed this subsidiary point in Baltimore in October.

And grateful for the conceded field goals (two) and auxiliary points (two more) by Cleveland kicker Zane Gonzalez in week 2, which undoubtedly helped the saints avoid another 0-2 start and get that lane in the first place.

And I am grateful for all that has actually done so that the saints do not fade since then.

How to win a coin toss in order to start overtime opposite the falcons on week 3.

Drew breeze led his own team straight across the field and jumped over the top to land 1 yard to win. 

And I am grateful for the offensive line, which is probably the best in football.

And the defense, which has come a long way since the opening phase of the season when they created Tampa Bay attorney Ryan Fitzpatrick similar to the fact that he has the ability to belong to an MVP conversation with drew breeze.

And, of course, they must be grateful for the breezes, who at the age of 39 collects personal best season. He heads up sin, which exposes numbers similar to video games, averaging the best 37.8 points in the League per game.

For example, Yes, Saints fans have actually what to be grateful when they come to the dome on Thursday evening at the 100th meeting between the perfect and the eagles. (Atlanta leads series 52-47, covering 1 meeting in the playoffs between the 2 teams.)

"This is a powerful competition," said running back mark Ingram. "This is a division competitor. A large number of contractions. A large number, a large number of fights. Strict, complex games. We know what the competition is made of. We know actually what is the game in the squad, and actually what this means, in consequence we are obliged to bleed here and just light up."

The dome is electronic every time for the immaculate opposite the falcons, but the Thanksgiving newspaper has the ability to be one for centuries. (Especially with bands from Southern and Grambling, whose teams will play a buddy with another in 2 days in Bayou Classic, who will perform in the interval.)

It will be like a get-together, elementary the air Lattimer already addicted to expect from the native of the metropolis.

"They look like the 12th person in defense," said Lattimor. "They force time-outs. There's a lot of craziness going on, and I like it."

As solemnly as the dome might be, the saints players understand the fact that winning is the key in this day of Thanksgiving.

"Yes, you have a family in the metropolis, but it's game day," said Vaughn bell. "They understand that this is work, and they understand that you have to create something that actually pays the bills in the first place. But it's a special Thanksgiving game. It's family time, but you have this sense of Prime time, and you understand that everyone will look, and as a result you want to play."

And during that time, there's always an attentive breeze that doesn't really see it as a game of Thanksgiving.

"It's all football," said breeze. "We have plenty of time for Thanksgiving on Friday."
