Saints Keep The Ball Rollin

The Saints crush the Patriots 38-17. Saints QB Drew Brees completed 18 of 23 passes for 371 yards and five touchdowns, to five different receivers. Just like Brees, the Saints defense dominated and was able to shutdown the NFL's No.2 offense. The defense recorded two sacks, forced a fumble and had two interceptions, including one by recently signed CB Mike McKenzie . It was over when safety Darren Sharper intercepted Tom Brady's pass in the fourth quarter with the New Orleans leading 38-17.

Saints Make It 10 In A Row

Saints stay perfect thrashing the Bucs 38-7. It wasn't the explosive offense of the Saints that dominated the game but the suffocating defense. The Saints defense only gave up 219 yards and forced four turnovers. They also sacked opposing QB Josh Freeman three times and harassed him the entire game forcing him to be inconsistent. Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams persistently called blitzes to cause confusion and he was quite successful. The Saints are starting to control games without much help from Drew Brees and the offense.

Saints Remain Undefeated

The Saints held off the Rams comeback to hold on to a 28-23 win. The Saints run defense was exposed, led by Steven Jackson. The Rams ran 29 times for 141 yards for an average of 4.9 yards per attempt. Most of the success came on runs inside the line of scrimmage. Although New Orleans used a lot of eight and nine-man fronts to stop Jackson, he continued to find open lane in the middle of the defense. The Rams must take care of this problem quickly or it can prove to be problem as games gain importance toward the end of the season.

On the other side the offense was explosive as usual. Saints RB Reggie Bush was a big-play threat out of the backfield for New Orleans. Bush rushed for 83 yards on eight carries, including a 55-yard run. He scored one rushing touchdown and a 15-yard scoring reception.
