After a lackluster opening drive, the Saints much-improved defense decided to show up in Green Bay after all. The Packers marched down the field with ease to start the game, culminating with a 46-yard jaunt by rookie RB Aaron Jones to give them the early 7-0 lead. From that point on though, the Saints defense shut things down, allowing an early-erratic Drew Brees to lead a comeback.
New Orleans scored on all four of their meaningful second-half possessions, and their defense stiffened even more, not allowing the Packers to close the gap. From a 19-17 lead to a 26-17 victory, the Saints have won four games in a row.
