Cincinnati -- Grading the New Orleans Saints and their performance against Cincinnati in the Saints 34-30 win.

Offense -- 3.5 fleur de lis

Another outstanding performance from quarterback Drew Brees and running back Chris Ivory; wide receivers Robert Meachem and Marques Colston and tight ends Jimmy Graham and Jeremy Shockey made big catches. The Saints gained 436 yards and won in the fourth quarter. It would appear a four fleur-de-lis game. As players noted afterward, however, the team was plagued by penalties, and Brees blamed them for putting the offense in situations that left them 1-of-8 on third downs. They also lost the turnover and time of possession battles, albeit narrowly. On most Sundays, Brees noted, a statistical ****tail like that indicates a loss.
