Payton hyped Saints with Lombardi Trophy, $225K in cash

Sean Payton knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and the New Orleans Saints head coach used a unique stunt Wednesday to get his players focused ahead of Sunday's divisional round.

Payton, along with four armed guards, wheeled the Lombardi Trophy and $225,000 into the team's locker room, running back Mark Ingram confirmed to Fletcher Mackel of WDSU News.

"Y'all want this? Win three f------ games," Payton told his players, according to Ingram.

Saints players can earn a $225,000 bonus if they win the Super Bowl.

Positioned as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, New Orleans is looking to add its second title of the Payton-Drew Brees era after being stunned by the "Minneapolis Miracle" in last year's postseason.

The Saints will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday for the right to play in the NFC Championship Game. New Orleans blew out the reigning champions 48-7 during the regular season.
