Recap
Today's game went down to the wire. The Dolphins held the New Orleans' explosive offense in check for 3 and 1/2 Quarters. Brees was sacked 5 times in the 1st half, 3 times by Jeoy Porter. The second quarter was the same for the Saints' offense. The Dolphins' Defense just would not let up. The Saints tryed all their money plays and nothing would work. The Saints had entered the half with the least amount of points scored in the 1st half all season. But, went in with the least amount of points allowed. The defense definally steped up in this game, especially in the 1st half to keep the Saints in the game. When the game entered the 4th quarter, everything went from boring and slow, to the game on the line. The Saints' dominance continued threw the 4th quarter, stop the Dolphins on 3rd and Goal. If the defense were to let up and give them the touchdown, the score would of been 28-19 with 2:00 min left. The Saints would of went on too lose the game. Saints drove right down the field being down 24-19 and on 4th and Goal they steped up for the big play by Drew Brees throwing a Touchdown down pass to Randy Moss with just 0:08 seconds remaining. The Saints are starting too look like themselves again. Can the Saints keep this winning streak alive? Or could the even fall apart again? This is what Sean Payton had to say after the game -
"Even though our offense was abit slow for the first 3 quarters, the defense steped up when we really needed them too to keep us in the game. My credit goes out to the Dolphins' Defensive Cordinator for being able to keep our explosive offense in check for nearly the whole game."
