The New Orleans Saints Are For Real

For this first time in over a year, the Saints played a true home game on Monday Night against the Falcons. Despite being heavy underdogs, they played with amazing passion and demolished the Falcons 23-3.

Both offense and defense played well. The Falcons who were off to the best rushing starts in NFL history were held to just over 100 yards. They shut down the Falcons new "college type" offense.

You could fell the magic in the air, on the 4th play of scrimmage, the Saints blocked a punt then Curtis Deloatch fell on it for a touchdown. It was a "story book" begging for the Saints.

The Saints whole season is sold out for the 1st time in history. The crown was chanting "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?" during the game.

Critics may say the Saints han;t proven themselves. The played the Packers and Browns weeks 1 and 2, and the emotion of returning to New Orleans propelled them to this victory, but quite frankly the New Orleans Saints are for real!
