Clock management at the end
I thought the same thing about getting that play off before the two minute warning. I guess we wanted to catch them off guard, which we did. BDM
I was thinking the same thing BLUE_DOG_MAN because I wanted the Saints to use as much time as possible. However, I bet San Diego was thinking the same thing. Therefore, the element of surprise caught San Diego as well as myself off-guard. In the end, it turned out well and we scored.
On another note, glad to see the San Diego meltdown by giving us 2 turnovers at the end. This was a rare case of a team giving the game away, and I'm glad to see our defense capitalized on it. The ball hasn't bounced our way lately, so I'm pleased it did this time.
And finally, I'm happy for Drew winning at San Diego yesterday although it probably wasn't the outing he wanted to display there:
Brees: 63.9 COMP%, 207 YDs, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, 74.7 Rating
Rivers: 65.1 COMP%, 321 YDs, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 93.3 Rating
