Saints 5-1?!?

Some things got back to normal over the weekend.

This, however, is far from normal.  The Saints went to 5-1, winning just the type of game they have been losing regularly for the last 40 years:  After cruising to a 14-point halftime lead, the Saints looked ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by letting the Eagles score 21 unanswered points to go up 24-17.  In the past, that would have been more than enough to break their sprit, and they would have gone on to throw a couple of interceptions, etc. and lose something like 34-17.  But Sunday, in a shocking turn of events, the Saints scored the final 10 points of the game to prevail 27-24.

I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts, because I'm pretty sure it can't last all that long.

Two words: Drew Brees.  He is the difference.
