Saints quarterback Drew Brees isn't running from New Orleans' disappointing record this season, nor has he lost sight of the opportunity their weak division has afforded them.
"We can't escape the reality of where we are right now," Brees said. "You are what your record says you are. We're a 4-6 team right now. None of us feel that because we're still in contention that that's good enough. We still have a lot of work to do."
Brees has tossed 10 interceptions this season, two away from his total from all of 2013. He has only had three games without throwing a pick, and has just two games this season in which he threw more than two touchdown passes. By this time last year Brees had four games of three-plus touchdown passes.
The Ravens, meanwhile, are coming off a much-needed bye week that has them fresh for the stretch run according to head coach John Harbaugh.
"Players took some time off and kind of emotionally and physically recharged a little bit," Harbaugh said. "You don't realize how exhausted you are until you get a chance to take a deep breath and relax."
He also said that he expects a desperate Saints team to come out guns blazing. "We're going to have a tough environment," Harbaugh said. "They're coming off two losses, they're a very proud team, very well coached, very talented. Great quarterback, aggressive defense.
"We're going to have our hands full and we'd better be ready to go. I'd like to think our guys understand that, but we'll find out Monday night."
