These players are playing for each other, and they are all supporting each other and are genuinely happy for each others' success and accomplishments.

One minor correction. These players are playing for each other, and a ring.

They seem to recognize that once you retire people really won't care how many receptions or yards or sacks or tackles you had (unless they are HOF numbers) but they will notice that big gold ring.

I also think they see what a real leader Brees is. Who would have imagined a game where Brees would hand the ball off 24 times without a pass. This year his personal numbers are down but he would prefer one more ring to one more record. This team is playing follow the leader.
