The New Orleans Saints clinched the NFC South with their Thanksgiving win over the Atlanta Falcons, but Drew Brees isn't ready to call this season a success.
"This was objective No. 1, obviously - win the division," Brees said, according to ESPN's Mike Triplett. "But I think you know our mindset and the group of guys we have in there and just kind of how we've progressed each and every year. We've got bigger fish to fry, so to speak."
Brees took a back seat in the win - completing 18 of 30 passes for just 184 yards and a touchdown - as New Orleans' defense stymied its opponent.
The Saints' postgame gear echoed Brees' sentiment, as players wore T-shirts in the locker room that read "The South Is Not Enough," according to Triplett.
"We all know what the goal is," versatile quarterback Taysom Hill said, according to NOLA.com's Rod Walker. "You can't overlook winning your division and getting back to the playoffs and certainly trying to get back to the NFC Championship Game. But the ultimate goal is to always win the Super Bowl. But we know there are steps to get there."
New Orleans sits second in the NFC at 10-2 with a first-round bye in the playoffs well within reach.
