In this story:

Sunday's Saints game against the Chargers certainly has a 'do-or-die' feel to it. New Orleans is looking to rebound in a big way after losing five straight, and hopefully the mini-bye gave them some time for a soft reset to focus on the large task at hand. The team's second injury report of the week certainly brings some encouragement to the table. You can check out the Thursday attendance rundown here.
