Tip to Mock, Freeney loves all the new LTs
But Freeney did play, and had a memorable sack in the second quarter. He beat Saints tackle Jermon Bushrod to the inside and got to Drew Brees, using one hand to rip him down from behind.
It was one of the few highlights for Freeney, who said his ankle might have stayed loose in the third quarter but for the extra-long wait during the halftime show by the Who.
“My ankle completely seized up at halftime,” he said. “I didn’t start feeling decent until the fourth quarter.”
So some rockers in their 60s threw him off his game? Poetic justice. To them, he’s just a rookie.
