New Orleans Saints (5-1)
Can you blame me for holding back on the Saints this long? I mean they still had to beat a top team the hard way, by digging it out at the end. Here are the three things I liked about their performance in the Eagles game: 1) That magnificent 8:26 drive at the end that closed out the contract. 2) The stunt they ran that rang the curtain down on Philly's last offensive play. I wish I could diagram it for you ... I mean it was just so beautifully conceived. They covered the tackle and tight end with a DB and an LB. Grant, the DE was reduced way down, to a gap between guard and center. They pinched the two outside guys hard, making sure they were occupied, and then looped Grant wide, outside the tackle. His quickness allowed him to get in on time and pressure Donovan McNabb into an incomplete. Beautiful. On TV they were mumbling something about how the Eagles "had to do a better job of picking up those rushers," completely ignoring the ingenuity of the stunt that had been set up. 3) Sean Payton's coaching, how he had Drew Brees go into his kneels and burn the clock until the last-second field goal, to shortstop that possibly rarest of all maneuvers by the Philly defense (which was out of timeouts) ... allowing the deliberate TD so as to get the ball back, down by a point. Did you love this game? I sure did.

Dan Patrick asked Bob Costas what was the best story in the NFL so far this year. Costas said the Saints.
