Hello, hello! This is Terrin Waack checking in for the Saturday edition of the Saints Insider newsletter. The date is Dec. 24, 2022. Unfortunately, fellow beat writer Luke Johnson and I are not in Ohio for the Saints’ game against the Cleveland Browns. Our flights were canceled due to Winter Storm Elliott. But fear not, there will still be complete live coverage of all the action. The Saints (5-9) and Browns (6-8) are scheduled to play at noon Saturday. The Week 16 matchup is set to air on CBS. ICYMI: It’s cold in Cleveland. Now, let’s get to the latest and greatest from our crew at Nola.com: — Saints linebacker Demario Davis will make a sustainable impact with his Devoted Dreamers Academy.
