I hope you were careful not to put a stake in the Saints a month ago. They've got the 49ers, Falcons and Giants in a 15-day span starting in Week 12, but New Orleans is 4-5 with Oakland next Sunday, and the 31-27 win over Atlanta was no fluke. Drew Brees is hot, the defense is generous but not hopeless and New Orleans is dangerous. Can you imagine the story if they wiggle into the sixth seed and have a prayer to play in a home Super Bowl, after what this team has been through this year? I thought the hero of the day Sunday was cornerback Jabari Greer. He was as shaky as a corner can be, and felt he'd let his team down on two long Atlanta completions earlier in the game.

But with New Orleans hanging on to the 31-27 lead on 4th-and-2 at the Saints' 2, Matt Ryan sent his Mr. Reliable, Roddy White, on a simple in-cut from the right flank with Greer in pursuit. White had a step on Greer. But to the far right, Tony Gonzalez was wide open. Ryan didn't see him. He thought he could laser the ball into White, and tried to. "All I was thinking was, 'I gotta make that play,' " Greer said from New Orleans afterward. "I gave up two big balls, very big. And here it was, a chance to get something back.'' Ryan threw a line drive to White, and Greer leaped in from the right, with both hands, tipping it away -- barely. "A blessing,'' Greer said. "Just incredible, really. A quality win against a great opponent, a huge rivalry game, a game we had to have.'' Here come the Saints.

I'm really not a huge fan of what Peter King usually has to say, but I actually like that he gave us some credit.

I know it had to kill him to say...

He must have had a proxy write that. He can't possibly be objective.
