Payton addressed lack of production from TE Evan Engram “I think a lot of it is the script.
There are times where you definitely look to involve him, but we don’t come off a game like last week and then look at who got touches. We’re not playing the fantasy game. We’re trying to win. Sometimes, I can recall over the years, big wins against tough teams and maybe a player like [former Saints TE Jimmy] Graham or [former Saints WR] Mike Thomas didn’t, and it’s not intentional. These guys are going to cloud [WR] Courtland [Sutton]. They’re going to put their best corner on him at times. Some of that is how that game unfolds.”
