Saints strike fast in OT, beat Cowboys

It would be a mild surprise if Hillman doesn’t see more touches than C.J.

Now with that, here are your best New Orleans Saints rookies and 1st year players up to this point, and why the future is bright for the sport of Pro Football in NOLA.

Overtime wouldn’t last too long after a 80-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees to CJ Spiller on a wheel route to win the game and give Drew Brees his 500th career passing touchdown, giving the Saints their first victory and Dallas their second loss of the season.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee has been diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night’s game against the New Orleans Saints. “Fortunately enough, I was able to do that”. I am sure that drive both Sean Payton and Rob Ryan nuts. They cut it close, losing to Baltimore, but they’ll host Houston on Tuesday, also coming off a loss. And for the Saints, perhaps, it was an especially gratifying ending.

The teams then exchanged field goals. He was getting picked on a good bit, and said he welcomes it. He is another player who will be good for the Saints. We caught them in a man-to-man on the last play. The tackle C.J. broke on the safety was huge. “It was a great play”. However, when the Cowboy needed him to step up late in the fourth quarter, he took them 91 yards in eight plays, making several tight throws to five different receivers. Drew Brees needs to find a way to get the ball down the field to his receivers for those explosive plays.

But the Cowboys could not otherwise control the ball in the second, netting only 25 rushing yards, while Weeden was sacked twice. He finished 16-for-26 for 246 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions, but he lost his 10th consecutive start.

He also thought about what would come next: A touchdown pass would be the 400th of his career, just hours after he became only the third quarterback in National Football League history to complete 5,000 passes.

Brees’ arm strength wasn’t an issue on Sunday night against Dallas as he passes for a season high 359 yards.

Terrance Williams was targeted 10 times and only caught three passes, but his diving touchdown reception was a beauty. “I think that’s about being patient”.

“I’m going to take that one. But if he’s drawing a lot of attention there are other places to go”. “I wasn’t anxious about how many times I was touching the ball throughout the game. I’m just trying to get the guys to rally around me and go from there”. “He’s got another plan”. Yes, but the offense play calling is boring, the offensive line doesn’t look like its old self, and the defense gave the Saints more gifts than Santa Claus on Sunday night.

A general view of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome prior to the game between the New Orleans Saints and the Dallas Cowboys. “We have to clean up that operation because it’s three (misses) now”, Payton said. “We’re setting it up to get it on the left hash, all the spots that we feel we’re comfortable kicking”. The Rangers will go there under first-year manager Jeff Banister, whose team lost ace Yu Darvish to Tommy John surgery before the season started. “We’ll learn from it but we’ll put it behind us and get ready for the Patriots”.

Brees, though, considered the miss to be an opportunity.

Brees said he rarely thinks about numbers during a game, but had heard a few whispers on the sideline that he had gotten within one of the 400-touchdown mark on Hill’s score.
