GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The New Orleans Saints knew Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers wouldn't be easy just because star Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn't playing.
As it turned out, this was the toughest of the Saints' past four games, and despite trailing for much of it, New Orleans managed to extend its winning streak to four games with a 26-17 win over the Packers at Lambeau Field.
With the victory, the Saints (4-2) currently stand alone in first place in the NFC South, though the Atlanta Falcons will have a chance to join them at 4-2 on Sunday night.
