Energy was spiking at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome ahead of Monday night’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, and the Saints’ team leaders understood that. With their teammates huddled around them, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and linebacker Demario Davis stepped in to fire them up, feeding off the energy filling the building.
You love to see it. Brees has led these pregame huddles for more than a decade, but Davis stepped into his place when the quarterback was held away from his team for a few weeks on doctor’s orders. And when Brees returned, he and Davis were able to work together naturally, mixing Brees’ iconic chants with Davis’ impassioned style.
It’s worked well so far, and did a lot to set the tone for this prime-time game with the Saints’ Super Bowl-winning team in attendance. You can view it for yourself in the video embedded below:
