NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints proved once again Sunday how dangerous they are inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
And now they won't have to leave this place again until the Super Bowl as a result of their thrilling, come-from-behind 31-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Saints (13-2) locked up the NFC's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, thanks to Brees' 1-yard touchdown pass to Michael Thomas with 1:25 remaining and a game-clinching fumble by Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with 32 seconds left that was forced by Saints defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and recovered by linebacker Demario Davis.
