New Orleans Saints 30, Kansas City Chiefs 7
The Saints totally dominated the Kansas City Chiefs last night. Drew Brees was on fire throwing the football as he completed 17 of 19 passes for 182 yards with 1 TD pass. Jamie Martin relieved him and he was somewhat efficient throwing the ball as he completed 10 of 13 passes for 94 yards with 1 interception. Tyler Palko finished up the game completing both of his pass attempts for 19 yards. Undrafted rookie running back Pierre Thomas was the player of the game last night for the Saints as he carried the football 11 times for 90 yards (8.2 ypc) with 2 TD runs. Reggie Bush also looked sharp running the football as he toted the rock 6 times for 51 yards (8.5 ypc). Antonio Pittman was busy again with 11 carries for 36 yards (3.3 ypc). Deuce McAllister got his work in carrying the football 6 times for 14 yards (2.3 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 32 yards. Lance Moore continued his fine pre-season with 6 catches for 88 yards (14.7 avg) and David Patten also had a strong showing with 6 catches for 75 yards (12.5 avg) with 1 TD grab. The Saints were absolute ball hogs last night as they had possession of the football for 37:13 of the game! They carried the football 37 times for 197 yards (5.3 ypc) and they also completed 29 of 34 passes for 282 yards.
The Saints defense was super sharp against the under manned Chiefs. The Chiefs ran the ball 18 times for 54 yards (3.0 ypc) and they only completed 13 of 29 passes for 99 yards.Â
