Saints fight off Falcons to stay unbeaten
The Saints are still perfect, despite an imperfect performance, and now need one more win to set the record for best start in franchise history. Drew Brees had 308 yards passing, Pierre Thomas scored two touchdowns and Jabari Greer returned an interception for a score to help the Saints improve to 7-0 with a 35-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Only the 1991 Saints began a season with as many wins and no Saints team has started 8-0.
