The New Orleans Saints shocked the NFL community on Sunday (Sept. 15) with a dominant victory over the Dallas Cowboys 44-19 to keep their undefeated season going. With vibes through the roof after pulling off the upset inside Dallas’ AT&T Stadium, Saints head coach Dennis Allen quoted Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” during his postgame speech to the team in the locker room, which fired up the players.
“Man, that’s a hell of a win guys,” Allen said. “We said we had to come in and play our brand of football and that’s exactly what we did. We played the way the Saints have to play this game. And look, sometimes you just gotta f–king pop out and show ’em.”
The locker room exploded after hearing coach Allen quote K. Dot, and one player even dapped him up. Fans loved the move as well when the clip made its way to X on Monday (Sept. 16).
Former NFL player Gerald McCoy tweeted: “This a quote from Dennis Allen HC of the Saints IN NEW ORLEANS but yall crying on why they picked Kendrick Lamar for Super Bowl!! THIS WHY!!”
Another fan shouted out running back Alvin Kamara, who led the team with four touchdowns. “Alvin Kamara: Certified Boogeyman He the one that upped the score on ‘em!”
The Saints got out to a 35-16 lead at halftime and cruised to the victory in Dallas. Kamara turned the clock back with a performance for the ages scoring four touchdowns. Another tough test awaits as the Saints welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to town this weekend.
“Not Like Us” has remained a Billboard Hot 100 staples in its nearly five months on the chart. The Drake diss track is still holding strong at No. 10 after topping the chart in May.
Fans will have to wait and see if Lamar brings the diss record to the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show when he takes the stage in New Orleans in February.
