The New Orleans Saints have advanced to the second round of the postseason after a wild card win over the Chicago Bears. Next on the horizon, a meeting with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
If the Saints want to get past the Buccaneers, they will need to play even better than they did against the Bears, when they limited Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago offense to essentially only 3 points all game (a garbage-time touchdown was scored as time expired).
But with a beat down of the team that eliminated them from the postseason back in 2006, and a matchup against Tom Brady - who the Saints have already beaten twice this year - on deck, Saints Twitter was excited to say the least.
Here are some of the best reactions:
Have a nice flight. Thanks for coming. https://t.co/KttGRWpwKR

Although lining up for just 24 plays, Deonte Harris ran wild when he was on the field last night.

Matt Nagy said the Bears had a meeting about C.J. Gardner-Johnson, where they studied his actions and told the players to avoid getting into it with him.
