Drew Brees expecting tough conditions in Philadelphia

Drew Brees expects the conditions in Philadelphia to be difficult for Sunday's wildcard playoff game.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has admitted that it will be tough for his side in their wildcard playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

The Saints have never won a road playoff game and were disappointing away from home in the regular season, but Brees said that the players would prepare as best they can for the expected wintry conditions.

"Obviously we don't have a chance to practise in it," NBC Sport quotes Brees as saying. "We've all played in that kind of weather before, not on a consistent basis, but you just kind of make the preparations.

"You try to prepare for it as best as you can, but once you're there, it's football. It's about execution. It's about knowing your assignments and executing it. Whatever the conditions are, you manage that, whether it's wind, rain, snow or whatever."

The Saints were 8-0 at home, but 3-5 on the road in their 16 regular season games.
