At stake was the power in the NFC. After a 48-27 win over the Giants, the Saints now hold that.
In the battle of two of the conference’s unbeatens, New Orleans set an early offensive pace the Giants couldn’t keep up with, racking up 493 total yards and putting seven different players in the end zone.
New Orleans (5-0) and Minnesota (6-0) are now atop the NFC, while the Giants fall to 5-1.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees was at his best, passing for 369 yards and four touchdowns while exposing a top-ranked Giants defense that didn’t get pressure up front and struggled in pass coverage. Meanwhile, the Giants’ offense couldn’t sustain any momentum after failing to score on its opening drive for the first time all season. Continue
THE GIANTS NEED TO GET BRANDON JACOBS RUNNING THE BALL MORE! HARD-NOSED POWER RUNNING WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINE BEING THE MOST PHYSICAL ITS EVER BEEN! (and then mix it in with some AHMAD BRADSHAW). not to say Eli and the receiving corps aren't good but GIANT FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT POWER and PHYSICALITY and thats what BRANDON JACOBS embodies.

I think that it is quite evident that Sheridan wants to put his stamp on this defense and be different from Spagnuolo and just rush four. I'm sorry but the old formula is the only thing that will work! Swallow your pride and unleash the hounds!
