- for the new orleans saints... - there always seems to be some - kind of streak involved.- and after beating the carolina- panthers, 27-24 - on sunday... there's quite a fe- of them... still in tact.

- - - - - - starting with a three-game- winning streak... as the black- and - gold improve to 4-2 overall, on- the year.

- they've also won six games in a- row, over n-f-c south teams...- the last two coming, in this- 20-20 campaign.

- and then there's the matter of- winning 15 straight games,- in the month of october... and- 17 straight home games... in th- month of october.

- all of those being a by- produc- of drew brees of leading- the saints... on the 52nd game-- winning drive, of his career...- the - second most, in the super bowl- era... behind only peyton - manning.- and yet... it was a two-minute- drill resulting in a touchdown,- to- end the second half... that was- all the difference.

- - "we were right on the cusp ther- with five - seconds with the possible end - zone play and we had leverage - outside.- inside, we had inside leverage.- drew did a great job of finding- deonte.

And i agree - with you, that probably was the- game-winning drive that we just- didn't know at the- time."- "i think when you look back on- it, i think we- really only had six meaningful- drives in this game, with the - exception of the last - one where you're just trying to- run the clock out.

So, those ar- very few scoring- opportunities.

So, man, every - chance we got to score, we need- to put points on the- board.

So two-minute drive, we- go out, to be able to get seven- points as opposed to- three - obviously, in dramatic- fashion there with those last - couple plays - that ends up - being a huge turning point in - the game."- - - - after the dust settled, from- week 7... brees is now behind - tom - brady for the all-time lead, in- career touchdown- passes... 559 to 558.
