The New Orleans Saints were surely glad to be back on home turf after 42 days since their last home game in Louisiana.  After exchanging scores with the Green Bay Packers for the 1st half, the Saints exploded in the 3rd quarter enroute to a dominating 51-29 victory.

The game had some pretty big implications, since both teams were not playing up to expectations and in danger of being eliminated from the playoff picture. The Saints can rest easier now at 6-5, while the Packers at 5-6 are still not out of it yet either, but certainly closer.  New Orleans won consecutive games for the 1st time all season – kind of hard to believe huh?

Saints vs. Packers – Monday Night Football Video Highlights

Drew Brees executed a perfect offensive game plan against the league’s best passing defense (prior to the game at least).  The Saints threw to the center of the field often and got quite a few yards after the catch by Lance Moore and Marques Colston, among others.  Brees led New Orleans w/ 4 TD passes and was taken out of the game once it was clear that the Saints would win.

NO was w/out Reggie Bush, despite rumors that he would be active for the game.  After matching a team high 51 pts, it is clear that the Saints did not need Bush and that they should be even stronger when he returns.
