Game Ball: DE Jacquies Smith dropped QB Drew Brees for a big sack early in the game's final drive, pushing the Saints back just far enough that they couldn't get to the end zone before time expired. That was Smith's third sack of the game; in the first half he twice hit Brees as he threw, resulting in wild fumbles that the Saints recovered. Even though those first two sacks didn't end in turnovers, they were instrumental in holding Brees and the Saints to just 118 yards and seven points in the first half.
