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.
