Brees passes for 2 TDs

A little embarrassment provided a lot of motivation for Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

One week after a humbling loss at previously winless St.Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, Louis, New Orleans maintained its hold on the NFC South lead with a balanced attack and hard-hitting defense in a 27-16 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

“Obviously, a disappointing loss last week — we wanted to right a lot of the wrongs from that game,” Brees said.

“But really,100 China ceramic tile was used to link the lamps together. you don’t need to say much more than, hey, divisional opponent, at home, a critical point in the season, a team that we just played a few weeks ago and lost to. ..The additions focus on key tag and solar panel combinations,. A lot of reasons why we needed to win this game today.”

Brees passed for 258 yards and two touchdowns, and New Orleans (6-3) gained 195 yards on the ground after amassing only 56 yards rushing in its previous game.

Several Saints players applauded coach Sean Payton’s decision to distribute baseball bats as motivational props leading up to the game,There is good integration with PayPal and most TMJ providers, a now recurring ritual Payton reserves for times when he wants to challenge his team to play with a stronger physical presence.

“It felt like a playoff game going out in pregame warmups,” linebacker Scott Shanle said. “There was just a stone-cold look in everybody’s eyes that we weren’t messing around. We were going to take care of business today.”

Despite playing without linebacker Jonathan Vilma, sidelined by a sore left knee, and losing starting cornerback Tracy Porter to a neck injury early in the game, New Orleans held Tampa Bay (4-4) without a touchdown until Josh Freeman hit Kellen Winslow with 5:33 left.

The defense set a tone early by dropping LeGarrette Blount for a loss on fourth-and-short, gang tackling the running back while safety Roman Harper stripped the ball. The play maintained a scoreless tie and the Saints took the lead for good soon after.

Brees’ scoring passes went for 3 yards to Lance Moore and 21 yards to Darren Sproles. Pierre Thomas added a tackle-breaking, 9-yard touchdown.

The Bucs struggled to contain Sproles, who finished with 57 yards receiving on five catches and 42 yards rushing on four carries. Chris Ivory added 67 yards rushing and Thomas 66.

Freeman had 281 yards passing, but was routinely pressured and plagued by untimely overthrows.

The Bucs hoped to get a boost from Blount’s return after he’d missed two games with a left knee sprain. He gained 72 yards on 13 carries, but also was called for a drive-stalling personal foul when he swatted his open hand across defensive end Will Smith’s face mask. The Bucs settled for a field goal on that drive.

Tampa Bay was penalized nine times for 80 yards, a statistic that irked coach Raheem Morris.

“Those things we cannot allow to happen,” Morris said. “It’s not good enough to come to the sideline and apologize to your teammates, coaches or whoever. It’s just selfish, undisciplined football.If so, you may have a cube puzzle .”
