Saints keep finding ways to grind out wins, stay atop NFC | |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) On a night when the high-powered offense was stuck in neutral, the New Orleans Saints still found a way to grind out a 12-9 win over Carolina behind their ever-improving defense. That could bode well for these Saints (12-2) as they prepare to make a run at the Super Bowl. For years, they've relied on star quarterback Drew Brees to score a lot of points, put up big yardage and win games for them. But suddenly the Saints have a defense that is not only keeping them close when the offense sputters, but might be one of the best in the NFL. New Orleans has not allowed more than 17 points in any of its last six games. MORE | |
