Some have gone cover two or cover three allowing just the short underneath stuff. Others have used the exact same approach the Falcons used Monday night by constantly bringing the house, thus limiting the deep game by forcing the ball out quicker. Brees and Payton have adjusted to taking that short stuff and treating it as a passing run game. They have been taking those four to five yards routes all day long.

There is more than one way to win the game offensively. Do not think that the Saints can only wing it to win it.

The Saints defense won that game. The only thing the offense did was atone for their own very huge mistake.

Brees had that great completion percentage going all night, but through 11 drives, the team had 7 punts, 2 INTs, and their longest drive had been 44 yards.
