p1. Phillip Rivers throws for an early touchdown, and trash-screams the Saintsrsquo; bench before running off the field. Smith and Grant respond on the next Charger possession by knocking him out of the game in a sack sandwich, and his fumble is run back by Ellis for a TD./p
p2. Brees throws for four touchdowns, including a 60-yarder to Colston where he outjumps Cromartie by about a foot in the end zone./p
p3. Deuce scores two touchdowns rushing, one on a 75-yard ldquo;scamperrdquo; (showing the press that he can ldquo;scamperrdquo; as well as Bushhellip;honestly, wouldnrsquo;t you like to see one of these 200+ lb. masses of muscle ldquo;scamperrdquo; smack into a sportswriter, just once?), and one touchdown receiving on a long screen pass. After his third touchdown he spikes the ball at Paytonrsquo;s feet./p

Gary Gibbs calls a more aggressive defense that results in more pressure on the QB and better coverage in the secondary.

p1) Itrsquo;s an ugly game with both teams executing very poorly (i.e. missed blocks, offensive players slipping on the field, dropped passes, and many, many punts by both teams)./p
p2) LT does get something for his fantasy owners ndash; 2 TDs/p
p3) Saints make a defensive stand to preserve the win late in the 4th as the Chargers turn it over on downs in their final drive, when they needed a TD and PAT to win./p
