You would think that it is no great accomplishment to beat a 1-7 Rams team that was averaging less the 10 points a game.
But, the Saints 28-23 win over the Rams was one of their better wins of 2009.
The Saints secondary was decimated by injury before kickoff, and then lost cornerback Tracy Porter with a knee injury on the first play from scrimmage of the third quarter.
On the field for the Saints in crunch time were cornerback Leigh Torrence (not usually on the field in dime packages), and defensive tackle DeMario Pressley (promoted from the practice squad).
Yet, the Saints pulled out the victory. Despite the fact the Drew Brees had a subpar game (2 TD passes, but 2 interceptions).
In their current state, with so many injuries on defense, the Saints will have to grit it out every week.
That they were able to do in St Louis doesn't seem like a quality win, but it was.
