| Oakland, CA (BettingExpress) - Chase Daniel tossed two touchdown passes in the New Orleans Saints' 40-20 preseason victory over the Oakland Raiders. Daniel spelled Drew Brees after three series and completed 9-of-18 passes for 191 yards. Brees was sharp as well, engineering scoring drives on each of the Saints' first two possessions, which were capped by rushing touchdowns from Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas. He went 15-of-23 for 189 yards. Brees' counterpart, Jason Campbell, threw for 150 yards on 12-of-17 passi |

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) - When the New Orleans Saints' defense stayed on top of Darren Sproles a bit too long during a practice drill on Thursday, most of the offense jumped in to rescue the new running back, setting off a brief scuffle on an otherwise peaceful California day. The Saints are counting on their undersized speedster to carry them past the departure of Reggie Bush and on to bigger achievements. Sproles doesn't sound terribly sad about leaving San Diego, where he spent the past six seasons with the |

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) - Pierre Thomas feels a bit nostalgic when talking about the New Orleans Saints' core group of running backs. He can't help but be reminded of 2009. Thomas compared this year's crop of rushers to the crew from two seasons ago that featured Mike Bell, Reggie Bush and Thomas - a group which ranked sixth in the NFL in yards gained on the ground. The Saints are hoping a similar production also provides the same end result: a Super Bowl championship. ``I feel like it's the same way,'' Thom |

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) - New Orleans Saints receiver Joseph Morgan has become a training-camp darling after two impressive touchdowns in his first two preseason games. In Morgan's eyes, he's only as good as his last practice. Morgan eluded numerous defenders on a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown during the Saints' preseason win over the 49ers on Aug. 12. He followed that up with a 56-yard TD reception in last Saturday's loss to the Texans, unleashing the same speed that attracted the attention of the Saint |

Ben Tate ran nine times for 95 yards and a score against the Saints' oft- porous run defense. Foster capped the Texan's seven-play, 72-yard opening drive with a two-yard touchdown run. Andre Johnson reeled in a 48-yard pass from Matt Schaub to begin Houston's second possession and Foster ended it with a 28-yard touchdown run. Schaub played until |

HOUSTON (AP) - Arian Foster ran for two touchdowns and Ben Tate rushed for 95 yards and another score in the first half of the Texans' 27-14 win over the New Orleans Saints on Saturday night. Foster, the NFL's leading rusher in 2010, returned after sitting out Houston's preseason opener against the New York Jets with a sore hamstring. Tate, a second-round pick in 2010, was seeing his first game action since breaking his ankle in the first preseason game last year. He had a 4-yard touchdown and gained 43 yard |

| (BettingExpress) - One of the lasting images of the New Orleans Saints' 2010 season was Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch breaking several tackles against the team on his way to the end zone in an NFC Wild Card Playoff victory for the Seahawks. Not a good way to go out if you're the defending Super Bowl champions. Some believed it was a fluke that the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV after a 13-3 regular-season campaign in 2009, while others gave them a legitimate shot to defend the only title won in franchise histo |
