The Saints needed their defense to step up in the final 2 drives again in week 13, and once again they answered the call. Jonathan Vilma's interception and 4th down tackle secured the 13th victory of the year, a number that is a new high water mark for success in New Orleans.
Drew Brees is my hero, he threw another great game and continues to establish himself as the preimer pass thrower in the NFL today. Reggie Bush had a bust out game adding 2 more TDs to his over all total for the year, and again proved that in limited time he has become a very productive player. Bush also dazzled with his ability to find the end zone if given any space to work with, his patented fluer de leap is becoming one of the more exciting things you can see on the football field.
There were a few negatives. The defense again seemed to crumble right when they could have put the game away in the 3rd quarter, and the big play bug reared its head again, as the secondary was scorched a few times in the game. I keep telling myself this will all be fine when Porter, Greer, Fujita and Gay are back, and I have no reason to think otherwise. That doesn't make the defensive poor play any easier to watch.
The Saints won a tough one in Atlanta, which is never easy and have the season sweep of the Dirty Birds, which is always nice to have under your belt. Next week we have the Cowboys in the Dome, a game that is important for pride and fan clamoring but otherwise not much else. It will be a funtime in primetime Saturday Night!
