Reviewing the Saints’ Victory Over The Giants
The New Orleans Saints had possibly their most complete win of the year on Monday, when they crushed the New York Giants, 49-24, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, in New Orleans, La.
Yes, they did have a 62-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts earlier in the year, but the Giants have six wins this year, which is six more than the Colts.
And yes, the defense did allow 465 yards to the Giants, but they got into the end zone only once in the first three quarters.
For the Saints, they had 372 passing yards, 205 rushing yards, and a great performance by the offensive line.
Not only was the win the most impressive of the year, it may be the most impressive in some time.
