[NFL] Saints Escape With A 35-27 Final Score Over The Falcons

Drew Brees threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, and Pierre Thomas ran for another score, as the New Orleans Saints held on to beat the Atlanta Falcons, 35-27, to remain undefeated. Brees completed 25-of-33 passes, but was also intercepted once and lost a fumble that Kroy Biermann returned for a touchdown. Thomas ran for 91 yards on 14 carries and had a touchdown reception for New Orleans, which is off to its first 7-0 start since 1991 and gained a stranglehold on the NFC South. "This is a huge win. Obviously you win, it's worth two [in the division]," Brees said. "It wasn't the prettiest win at times, but we did what we needed to do when we needed to do it to get the win."
