There was the New Orleans Saints, displaced and disjointed a year ago when Hurricane Katrina basically plummeted the organization in a FEMA trailer. Yet they have found magic this year with a new coach, a new quarterback and the best player Houston didn't want to surge into first place with an 8-4 record.

There was the Dallas Cowboys, creeping along at a .500 pace until the Wunderkind quarterback took over, and for six consecutive games had been living a Walter Mitty existence, solely responsible for yanking a franchise up by its bootstraps and leading it to five wins (the past four straight) and into first place with an 8-4 record.

The Saints' fantasy, capturing the imagination of a country, marches on.
