  • The Saints, currently at 5-0, are the leagues top-ranked offense. The Dolphins are just 2-3, but they do boast the best ground game in the league averaging 177 ypg.

  • The Dolphins should be a good physical test for the Saints defence.
    by tim_micallef via twitter at 10/25/2009 8:25:42 PM
  • Saints are challenging the completed catch - waiting for a review
    by Nat at 10/25/2009 8:26:10 PM
  • There is some confusion, the replay machine is not working and so the Saints lose a time out
    by Nat at 10/25/2009 8:28:28 PM
