The New Orleans Saints' victory-sealing pass Sunday by Drew Brees to Marques Colston was 10 years in the making. That's how long the duo has worked together on perfecting certain routes and throws.

Their diligence paid off with a third-and-4 pass for 20 yards just outside 2 minutes that allowed the Saints to run off the remaining time for a third win in four games.

"If you counted the hours those two spend post-practice for the last 10 years, I'm not sure it wouldn't equal a year," Saints coach Sean Payton said Monday. "Then all of a sudden on third-and-4 to win a game, it pays off. The execution was fantastic."
