Can Saints keep unbeated?
Written by footballfan on November 21st, 2009
The New Orleans Saints defeated the St. Louis Rams 28-23 and improved to 9-0 for the first time in franchise history. They have scored an NFL-best 331 points, the fourth-most by a team in the first nine games of a season in NFL history. Next up, Sean Payton’s team continues its tour of the NFL’s bottom rung as they travel to Tampa to face the one win Bucs.
The Buccaneers (1-8) won their first game in Week 10, 38-28 over the Green Bay Packers, then nearly came back for another in a 25-23 loss at Miami last week.
Josh Freeman has completed 32 of 63 passes for 417 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in three games, including a brief relief appearance against New England. He has had some problems with fumbling, both during the center exchange and on sacks. But he’s proved to be a clutch player.
He has brought the Buccaneers back from double-digit deficits in each of his two starts, and his passer rating of 117.9 in the fourth quarter is the fourth best in the NFL (Brees is No. 1 at 124.2).
To young Freeman, it’s a chanllging game vs Saints. But it’s a good chance to accomplish something. Because Drew Brees is on pace to join Peyton Manning as the only players in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards in four consecutive seasons. It’s worth playing against such strong opponent.
Yeah, the Saints are playing one of the worst teams in the league, but games will get harder for them to win as the winning streak continues. The Saints will go to 10-0, but take the Bucs and 11 1/2 points.
