Saints hosting Arizona

Saints' head coach Sean Payton made a key decision Sunday in his club's 16-14
come-from-behind road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he did what most critics say you
should almost never do and that is take points off the board. Place kicker Garrett Hartley had 
booted a 20-yard field goal, but the Bucs were off sides. Following a timeout it appeared
quarterback Drew Brees talked Payton into going for it on fourth down instead, taking the points
off the board, which almost came back to haunt the Saints as Mark Ingram, the former Heisman
Trophy Winner, was stuffed by the Bucs' defense, which only had 10 players on the field.
The Black & Gold managed to overcome that decision and take care of business as Brees
directed Sunday's dramatic five-play drive with 1:06 left and no timeouts, racing the Saints
down field, resulting in Hartley's 27-yard game-winner, putting the team in the driver's
seat at 2-0 in the NFC South race.
Tight end Jimmy Graham, who had a career day with 10 catches for 179-yards including a
56-yard TD from Brees, talked about his veteran QB.
"That guy, Drew Brees, he's magical, he really  is." It doesn't matter what time of the game it
is, at what point in the game it is, he has belief in us, and he knows that. If you give him
a minute, if you give him 30 seconds, we all have hope on this team," Graham added.
Tampa Bay held a 14-13 lead when Ryan Lindell missed on a 47-yard field goal attempt, giving
the Saints new life.
Saints' middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said he likes what the team's defense has done to this
point in the season.
"It's a new team, new defense and new defensive coordinator. Last year was last year," said
Lofton.
The Saints are back in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday, hosting the Arizona
Cardinals, who moved to 1-1, taking a 25-21 victory over the Detroit Lions.
