| The Saints gave up a TD on the Falcons opening drive, and then they scored, and scored, and scored, and kept on scoring. Courtney Robey ran back two kickoffs for TD's, Drew Brees beat the Falcons DB's for 4 more TD's, and Pierre Thomas added a TD on the ground. The Falcons offense gained good yardage on occasion, but their weak pass blocking combined with double digit deficits was a lethal combination, and the Saints sacked Chandler seven times. The Saints are for real. the 98 Falcons? I thought pretty highly of them, but surrendering 49 points to anybody says you are not that great after all. |
