For the Saints, they go into Frisco rested and ready to go. After defeating the Minnesota Vikings in week 1, Drew Brees & Co. are set to hand the Niners their second loss of the season in primetime. "Every game is a huge gam
e, especially when you're going from a Thursday night prime-time game to a Monday night prime-time game," Brees said.

Going out west to take on the Niners should be a great early task for the defending champs, as their focus and determination will surely be tested.
"They're going to be tough," Bush said. "It's at their field, home field advantage. The crowd's going to be behind them and anybody who knows Mike Singletary knows how fierce of a competitor he was."

For the Niners, they’re coming off a very disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks on opening night. But more embarrassing were the reports that the tension between players and coaches was so bad, that some players even approached Singletary this offseason to complain about offensive coordinator, Jimmy Raye.
"I believe in our country, in society, the saddest thing has happened," Singletary said. "One thing that I want to teach our guys is to be men. If there's something that you have to say, go say it, and say that you said it. But don't go say a bunch of stuff, 'But don't tell him I said it.' To me, that's a rat, that's a coward, so those things I can't spend my time on. …
"I don't want to deal with a rat. I don't want to spend my time trying to find out who said this, who did that. The article is not factual, No. 1. No. 2, I don't want to spend my time trying to find a rat. In time, the smell will come."
