The Saints completely destroyed the Raiders at the Black Hole on Saturday Night.  Drew Brees was incredible completing 14 of 17 passes for 179 yards with 2 TD passes.  Mark Brunell looked pretty awful in this game following Brees as he completed 4 of 13 passes for 86 yards with 2 interceptions.  Joey Harrington finished up the game in solid form completing 4 of 6 passes for 46 yards with 1 TD pass.  RB Lynell Hamilton led the way on the ground for the Saints in this game with 95 yards rushing on 16 carries (5.9 ypc).  He also added 2 catches for 16 yards (8.0 avg) on Saturday.  Undrafted rookie RB P.J. Hill had another outstanding game with 83 yards rushing on 12 carries (6.9 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  WR Robert Meachem only caught 1 pass in this game but it went for 71 yards.  Devery Henderson was also outstanding in this game with 3 catches for 69 yards (23.0 avg) with 1 TD.  Lance Moore was busy too in this game catching 4 passes for 29 yards (7.3 avg) with a TD.  The Saints controlled the clock for a stunning 39:27 of this game rolling up 536 total yards on offense (232 rushing, 304 passing). 

The defense was led by LBs Troy Evans (5 tackles, sack) and Marvin Mitchell (5 tackles).  The Raiders finished up with only 289 total yards on offense (52 rushing, 237 passing) as they were dominated in all three phases of this game by the Saints.
