The New Orleans Saints sure are fun to watch. After trailing 14-7 after the end of the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints came storming back in the second quarter to take a 28-14 halftime lead. Although they struggled at times in the second half, New Orleans was able to stay undefeated after posting a 35-27 victory.
Quarterback Drew Brees finished with 308 passing yards and two touchdowns. Pierre Thomas had 14 carries for 91 yards and a rushing touchdown. He also had a receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Falcons got 151 rushing yards and a touchdown from Michael Turner. Matt Ryan struggled a bit, finishing with 289 passing yards to go with one touchdown and three interceptions.
The star wide receivers on both teams shined. Roddy White had 108 yards and a touchdown, while Marques Colston had 85 yards and a touchdown.
The Saints are now 7-0 on the season and look like a Super Bowl contender. The Falcons, who are also in the NFC South, will have to play well in the second half of the 2009 NFL season to earn a spot in the playoffs.
