METAIRIE - The Saints like where they are five games into the season, though they are nowhere near as dominant as they were in their Super Bowl championship season of 2009.

New Orleans is 4-1 alone atop the NFC South after rallying Sunday to beat Carolina 30-27 with a 6-yard touchdown toss from Drew Brees to Pierre Thomas in the final minute.

New Orleans’ only loss was a 42-34 setback on opening night to defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay, and that game ended with the Saints a yard away from a potential tying touchdown and 2-point conversion.

A victory Sunday at Tampa Bay (3-2) would give New Orleans a two-game cushion in the division at the end of a three-game road trip.

“You begin to develop a personality each year, and it’s a little different from year to year,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “A win like (Sunday) can do a lot in that it was hard-fought, we had to come back, and we had to be resilient. You gain confidence from that.”
