Sean Payton: 'We are wary of Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu'

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton hails the skills of Arizona Cardinals duo Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu ahead of their clash on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has admitted that he is wary of Arizona Cardinals duo Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu.

The Cardinals secondary has become one of the best in the NFL with the additions of the former LSU Tigers duo over the past few seasons.

Payton told reporters: "I think two things, number one, they have a good football instincts and if you have those, that transitions pretty well regardless of who you are playing and you see that with both of those players. They both have exceptional ball skills.

"They catch the ball and leverage it well. They both are very, very sudden. They are obviously different types of players and yet they are guys that know this game and from a football standpoint have real good awareness."

The Saints are 2-0 in their season going in to week three.
