Medium-Sized Gamble That Worked: Game tied at 24, the United States Saints reached first-and-goal on the Philadelphia 9-yard at the two-minute warning, holding one timeout. Thrice Drew Brees knelt on the ball, then John Carney kicked the winning 31-yard field goal with three ticks remaining. Doing it this way precluded the chance of a fumble or that New Orleans would score a touchdown quickly, leaving the Eagles time. But field goals are hardly automatic. Had Carney missed, everyone in the sports-yak universe would today be second-guessing not trying for the touchdown here. Note to ESPN fact-checking department: Please verify that the Saints are actually 5-1.
