NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-3) TO HOST ST. LOUIS RAMS (6-6) AT LOUISIANA SUPERDOME The Saints (9-3) return to the Superdome this Sunday after a two-game road swing with a five-game winning streak to host the Rams (6-6) at 3:05 p.m. CT. New Orleans is coming off a dramatic come-frombehind 34-30 victory at the Cincinnati Bengals. Down by three in the final minutes, the Saints drove to a fourth-and-2 at the Cincinnati seven-yard line with 34 seconds left. New Orleans called a timeout and decided to line up as if they would snap it to try and draw the Bengals offside. It resulted in a neutral zone penalty and on the following play, QB Drew Brees threw a three-yard touchdown pass to WR Marques Colston. Brees finished 24 of 29 for 313 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The Saints had five plays that went for at least 42 yards. Brees also had a 52- yard touchdown pass to WR Robert Meachem. RB Chris Ivory carried 15 times for 117 yards and two TDs, including a career-long 55-yard score. With a second quarter 52-yard throw to TE Jimmy Graham, Brees surpassed Archie Manning as the club s alltime passing yardage leader. He now has 21,932 passing yards as a Saint. Brees' 21,932 yards with the Saints is the most passing yards by a quarterback over any five-year span in NFL history. The performance marked his 36th 300-yard passing game since 2006, also the most by a player over any five-year period in league annals. The Rams ended their eight-game losing streak to the Cardinals last Sunday with a 19-6 victory in Arizona. The win marked the first time St. Louis had won consecutive road games since November 18, 2007. The win keeps the Rams in a first-place tie with the Seahawks in the NFC West.

LAST MEETING Nov. 15, 2009: Saints 28, St. Louis 23 @ Edward Jones Dome Despite a furious fourth quarter Rams rally, where they rallied from an 11-point deficit and were driving for a touchdown as time expired, the Saints held on and improved to 9-0 as their nine-game winning streak tied a franchise record. Things started slowly for the Saints as QB Drew Brees had a pass picked off by St. Louis S Oshiomogho Atogwe. The Saints defense stepped up as S Usama Young picked off Rams QB Marc Bulger in the end zone and returned it 24 yards. RB Reggie Bush put the Saints on the scoreboard with a three-yard TD run.

2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW WEEK 1: Saints 14, Minnesota Vikings 9; September 9, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome The Saints won a club record third consecutive season opener as a consistent performance on offense, defense and special teams carried New Orleans in the NFL s kickoff performance. QB Drew Brees highlighted the Saints performance as he completed 27 of 36 attempts for 237 yards and a TD. RB Pierre Thomas had a team-best 71 yards on 19 carries with his one-yard TD run in the third quarter giving New Orleans the lead for good. Brees connected on completions with nine different Saints led by WR Marques Colston s five receptions for 62 yards. RB Reggie Bush chipped in with five catches for 33 yards. The Saints out-gained the Vikings, 308 to 253 yards, and held the ball for 33:43 in time of possession as they scored their fewest points in a winning effort since Sean Payton became coach in 2006. New Orleans got out to a early 7-0 lead, but then saw that evaporate in the second quarter until Thomas one-yard scoring run in the third stanza to put them back up for good. The Saints defense displayed their mettle, allowing only 253 yards of offense by the Vikings and held Minnesota to 5-of-13 on third downs (38%). LB Jonathan Vilma had a second quarter interception of Vikings QB Brett Favre, while DT Sedrick Ellis sacked him. Favre finished 15-of-27 passing for 171 yards and one interception for a 71.7 passer rating. Vilma recorded an interception on a play where a pressure on Favre was credited to S Roman Harper. The win improved their opening day record to 16-28. This was the first time in club history the Saints have won three consecutive season openers. The Saints are 4-1 in season openers under Payton. The 14 points scored were the fewest by the Saints in a winning effort since Payton became head coach in 2006, and the fewest in a win since defeating Dallas 13-7 on Dec. 28, 2003 in the Superdome. Brees and WR Devery Henderson connected on a 29-yard TD on a third down play on New Orleans first offensive drive for the Saints first points of the season. DT Remi Ayodele blocked an extra point in the second quarter. It was the first extra point blocked by the Saints since DT Grady Jackson at Cincinnati on Dec. 22, 2002. WEEK 2: Saints 25, San Francisco 49ers 22; September 20, 2010 @ Candlestick Park The Saints posted an impressive road victory behind timely plays by the arm of Drew Brees, the foot of Garrett Hartley, who booted a 37-yard game-winning field goal as time expired and four forced turnovers by the defense and special teams unit. The Saints scored nine early first quarter points. On the first drive, the 49ers had the ball on their 15-yard line on third and five when the ball flew over San Francisco QB Alex Smith s head and fell out the back of the end zone for a safety. New Orleans then capitalized on the ensuing possession fro the safety and drove 46 yards on seven plays to cap it off with a six-yard touchdown pass from Brees to RB Reggie Bush. Leading 9-7 at halftime, 49ers RB Anthony Dixon ran for a two-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a 14-9 edge. The Saints responded when Brees fired his second score of the game on a three-yard pass to TE David Thomas with 1:43 remaining in the quarter. Taking advantage of a 43-yard punt return by Bush to end the third quarter, Hartley kicked the first of his three fourth quarter field goals to put the Saints up 19-14. Later on, WR Courtney Roby recovered a muffed punt on coverage, setting up another field goal to give New Orleans a 22-14 edge. San Francisco RB Frank Gore ran for a TD and Smith connected with 49ers TE Vernon Davis for a two-point conversion with 1:19 left, but Brees took advantage of the time to engineer the game-winning drive. Brees completed 28 of 38 passes for 254 yards with two TDs for a 108.9 rating. RB Pierre Thomas led the Saints in rushing (46 yards) and receiving with eight catches for 57 yards. WR Marques Colston had a team-high 67 yards receiving on five grabs, including an acrobatic 30-yard catch to set up the game-winning field goal. The defense forced Smith to throw interceptions to S Roman Harper and CB Tracy Porter in Saints territory. LB Jonathan Vilma had a game-high ten tackles and his forced fumble, which was recovered by S Malcolm Jenkins to avert a potential 49ers score. The win marks the first time the Saints have started 2-0 in two consecutive seasons. It extended their win streak against their former NFC West rivals to six games. Brees had a streak snapped of an NFL record five consecutive games with 300 or more yards passing on Monday Night Football. Head Coach Sean Payton improved his record on Monday Night Football to 6-2.

2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW WEEK 3: Atlanta Falcons 27, Saints 24 (OT); September 26, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome Atlanta K Matt Bryant kicked a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime to give the Falcons a 27-24 win. The Saints overcame three turnovers and a three-point fourth quarter deficit to tie the score on their final drive of regulation when K Garrett Hartley kicked a 32-yard field goal. However, in overtime, after the Saints defense stymied Atlanta s first drive, Hartley missed a 29-yard attempt and the Falcons would successfully execute their next time down the field. QB Drew Brees completed 30 of 38 passes for 365 yards with three TD passes, two to WR Lance Moore and two interceptions. Moore had a career day with six receptions for a career-high 149 yards, tying his best in TD grabs and adding a career-long 72-yard punt return to set up a first quarter scoring throw from Brees to TE Jeremy Shockey. Shockey led the Saints in receptions with eight catches for 78 yards. DE Will Smith and DT Sedrick Ellis recorded one sack apiece. LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar led New Orleans with a career-high 13 tackles. Atlanta QB Matt Ryan completed 19 of 30 passes for 228 yards with two TDs. TE Tony Gonzalez had eight receptions for 110 yards with one TD, while RB Michael Turner carried 30 times for 114 yards with a TD. The loss snapped a streak of six consecutive September wins for the Saints, dating back to 2008. For the third straight game, the Saints scored a TD on their first possession. Dating back to the 2009 opener and including the playoffs, the Saints scored on their first possession 13 times (10 TD, 3 FG) in 22 games. Brees first-quarter interception was not only the first turnover committed by the Saints in 2010, but the first in 15 quarters, dating back to the second quarter of the 2009 NFC Championship. The pick was his first in 243 attempts, counting the postseason, his first in his last 141 regular-season throws. His last interception came in Week 15 of 2009 vs. Dallas. WEEK 4: Saints 16, Carolina Panthers 14; October 3, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome The Saints posted an impressive win behind a powerful run game, timely third down conversions, a relentless pass rush and some key plays on special teams in a contest which wasn t decided until the final seconds. On their first drive, the Saints drove to the one yard line, where WR Lance Moore fumbled on a hard hit and it was recovered by Panthers LB James Anderson in the end zone for a touchback. But the Saints got the ball back after forcing Carolina to their first of two first half three and outs on a day where they constantly harassed rookie QB Jimmy Clausen, allowing him to complete only 11 of 21 passes for 146 yards. On their next drive, QB Drew Brees directed a six-play, 76-yard scoring march, ending with Moore rambling into the end zone on a four-yard TD grab. However, the Panthers tied the score on a 55-yard pass from Clausen to RB Jonathan Stewart. New Orleans took the lead near the end of the half, when K John Carney, starting his third Saints stint, kicked a 32-yard field goal. The Panthers took the lead on their first drive of the second half, when RB DeAngelo Williams had a 39-yard run. Failing to convert a third down on their next drive, New Orleans was forced to punt, but a hard hit on coverage by LS Jason Kyle forced Panthers CB Captain Munnerlyn to cough up the ball and it was recovered by WR Courtney Roby at the Carolina 29. Carney kicked a 32-yard field goal to put the Saints within one. Brees engineered an 18 play, 86-yard drive, that took up 9:25 of the fourth quarter and ended with Carney kicking a 25-yard field goal to give New Orleans the lead with 3:55 left. Carolina on their final drive, marched as close as the New Orleans 36, but their hopes ended when the Saints pushed them out of field goal range on successive plays with S Usama Young tackling Williams for a four-yard loss and S Malcolm Jenkins sacking Clausen before a final incompletion. Brees completed 33 of 48 passes for 275 yards with one TD as the Saints ran up 121 yards on the ground and outrushed Carolina s powerful attack. In his most extensive, rookie RB Chris Ivory led the club in rushing with 67 yards on 12 carries, teaming with Ladell Betts who had 47 yards on the ground and caught four passes for 23 yards. WR Devery Henderson had six receptions for a team-leading 59 yards. WEEK 5: Arizona Cardinals 30, Saints 20; October 10, 2010 @ University of Phoenix Stadium In a topsy-turvy contest, the Cardinals came back from a 10-0 deficit and prevailed despite failing to score an offensive touchdown rushing or passing. CB Jabari Greer gave rookie Cardinals QB Max Hall a rough initial reception in his first drive of the game of his first NFL start, picking him off and returning the interception 26 yards. New Orleans would capitalize on the early turnover and K John Carney kicked a 31-yard field goal. New Orleans increased their first quarter lead to 10-0 when the Saints quickly would get the ball back and QB Drew Brees drove the Saints on an 11-play, 76-yard scoring drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown pass to TE Jeremy Shockey. (continued on next page)

2010 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW (continued from previous page) Despite a second quarter Cardinals field goal and touchdown fumble recovery on a play where DL Anthony Hargrove had forced Hall to fumble, but the ball was picked up and brought into the end zone by Arizona T Levi Jones in the second quarter, the Saints remained on top at halftime as Carney booted his second field goal of the contest to give the Saints a 13-10 lead at the midway point. The Cardinals would go on a 13-0 run off two field goals and a 27-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Kerry Rhodes. With 3:25 remaining in the game, the Saints got the ball back at their 18-yard line. The Saints drove to the Arizona 35 where Brees connected with WR Robert Meachem for his first TD of the season with 1:49 left. With the Saints trailing 23-20, Carney attempted an onside kick but Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald recovered it. On 3rd and eight at the New Orleans 33, Hall completed a pass to TE Ben Patrick and he coughed of the ball at the 25-yard line where Fitzgerald recovered it much to the dismay of the Saints. After the Cardinals were forced to punt, the Saints got the ball back at their nine-yard line. On first down, Brees threw his third pick of the game to Cardinals DB Dominique Rogers-Cromartie who returned it for a 28- yard touchdown to seal the Arizona victory. The Saints outgained the Cardinals in net yards by a 358-194. The 41 yards rushing the Saints defense surrendered was the least since the 33 rushing yards given up to Detroit in the 2009 season opener. Brees completed 24 of his 39 attempts for 279 yards and two TDs. WR Marques Colston led all receivers with seven catches for 97 yards. RB Ladell Betts, who got the start, rushed with 44 yards on 10 attempts. WEEK 6: Saints 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6; October 17, 2010 @ Raymond James Stadium The Saints had their most dominating performance of the season on both offense and defense to beat the Buccaneers 31-6 and improve to 5-2. New Orleans started off fast as they scored on their opening drive for the fifth time in six games, marching down 94 yards on seven plays, ending with a 41-yard TD pass from QB Drew Brees to WR Lance Moore. New Orleans extended their lead to 14-0 when Brees found WR Robert Meachem for a 41-yard TD early in the second quarter The Saints went into halftime with a 17-0 edge. New Orleans continued their outstanding defensive performance in the third quarter when LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar forced a fumble by Tampa Bay RB Carnell Williams, recovered by LB Marvin Mitchell at the Tampa Bay 45-yard line. Eight plays later, Brees found FB Heath Evans for a four yard TD. The Saints defense held Tampa Bay scoreless until they scored a touchdown with 5:43 remaining in the fourth quarter. New Orleans rolled to 475 yards of total offense, 298 in the first half, while holding Tampa Bay to 277, including only 42 on the ground, 20 in the first half as the Saints took control. New Orleans churned out a season-high total of 212 rushing yards. Brees completed 21-of-32 passes for 263 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a 109.2 passer rating.

RBs Ladell Betts and Julius Jones combined for 52 yards rushing and Betts one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was his first as a Saint. S Roman Harper led the defense with seven solo tackles and his NFL-high third forced fumble of 2010. WEEK 7: Cleveland Browns 30, Saints 17; October 24, 2010 @ Louisiana Superdome The Saints undermed their chances with four interceptions and two game-changing special teams plays by the Browns. With New Orleans punting after the first possession, Cleveland WR Joshua Cribbs lateraled the return to CB Eric Wright who raced 62 yards to the New Orleans 19-yard line before being tackled, setting up an early field goal. Cleveland increased their first quarter lead to 10-0 when they took advantage of a 38-yard pass interference penalty to put them in at the four-yard line where RB Peyton Hillis ran in four yards for a touchdown. Despite a second quarter Saints field goal, the Browns scored ten second quarter points as they took advantage of a fake punt and rushed 68 yards to set up a field goal and LB David Bowens returned a pass by QB Drew Brees 30 yards for a touchdown to give them 20-3 lead at the midway point.
