Saints Shows the Giants No Mercy in 48-27 Beat Down

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints dominated in what many thought would be a close game against the New York Giants. The fierce pass rush of the Giants was neutralized as Brees and company stayed on the attack. It was not only Drew Brees having his typical mind boggling throwing numbers but it was an entire team effort that pummeled the Giants 48-27.

New York Giants secondary was torched for 368 yards of passing and 4 scores by Brees. He threw the ball long, short, and it did not matter where Brees passed he seemed to find a Saint. At one point, he made 15 consecutive completions. The 4 touchdown passes went to Wide Receivers Marques Colston, Robert Meachem, Lance Moore and Tight End Jeremy Shockey. The running game also took it shots at the Giants number 1 defense as runningbacks Mike Bell, Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, and fullback Heath Evans accounted for 3 rushing touchdowns and 133 yards on the ground.

Saints' defense rattled Giants Quarterback Eli Manning. He only managed to complete 14 of 31 passes for 178 yards. The hype about Giants running game was just that hype. The New Orleans held New York's ground game to 84 yards. The Giants could only muster 17 points for the first half as a testament to a good defensive showing for Saints' defense in the first half. Saints shows their defense has teeth and overall had a good game.

New Orleans is no longer a team that resembles the greatest show on turf, St Louis Rams of the past as just a team with a high octane offense. Their defense is playing well thanks to Defensive Coordinator Gary Williams implementing a new defensive mentality in New Orleans. With the new found defense to complement the high wire offense, the Saints' more than convincing victory over the Giants is just a precursor to what the unit will achieve this season. A franchise that were once so bad they were called the "Aints" is now a squad that waits for another NFL team to jump up to get beat down like the Giants.
