ATLANTA -- Buckle up, New Orleans.
The shootout Saints are back.
Another fall of pinball football and Arena League scores awaits. Another season of track meets beckons.
If we learned anything from the Saints' scintillating, see-saw 43-37 overtime win against Atlanta on Sunday (Sept. 23), it's that they are the living embodiment of the city they represent. Like New Orleans, the Saints are resilient, flawed and above all else, never boring.
In a game that featured 941 yards, 80 points, 56 first downs and as many touchdowns as punts (10 each), the Saints proved they are the slightly healthier, more well-rounded and better-coached offensive juggernaut than their NFC South archrivals.
