ATLANTA -- The New Orleans Saints spent almost an entire day answering the Atlanta Falcons offense, and, in the end, they did not want to answer any more.
It was a leaping Drew Brees who gave the Saints a hard-fought win against their most bitter rival when he jumped high with the ball extended toward the goal line, a 1-yard touchdown run that made the Saints 43-37 winners in overtime against the Falcons.
That was Brees' second touchdown run of the game, which was sent into overtime when he capped an 11-play, 81-yard drive with his first touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 37.
