Saints Use Defense To Beat Bills
Morrison continues his neck breaking pace to lead Saints past Bills

Coming of a last second FG loss to the Packers, the Saints stay on the road to face the Bills. Bills have had a difficult season themselves and were trying to find answers to some of their tough losses this season. Saints have struggled with their passing and rushing attacks to go along with a defense that hasn't played very well. Though the rushing attack found some openings last week with the OL playing much better these last 3 games. The defense has also picked up the pace and began to play much better these last 3 games, especially in the pass defense category. 

Saints go off to a very good start today, with Williams finding some holes and Zack playing much more efficient than he has in the past few weeks. The Bills defense though, played very well in their own ways. The Bills would be very effective with their blitzes and would really start stopping a lot of the rush lanes that Williams would find. The Bills LB's are some of the best and quickest in the league. 

Saints would have to settle for several different fg's but it was their defense which stepped up to help pick up the slack. Anthony and Cam Jordan would get sacks and the defense would shut down the passing and rushing attacks of the Bills. Bills QB Murry would be under a 100 yards going into the 4th quarter and the rushing attack was almost non-existent for the Bills. 

Morrison, several weeks ago, was shut out of the reception category for the first time in his career. Ever since then, he's been on a tear, ripping opposing defense and showing why he is one of the top WRs in the GFML. Today, he stayed red hot with 8 receptions for 135 yards and a TD. Morrison has helped settle Zack over the past 3 weeks and helped turn around a passing offense that was one of the worse in the league. 

Saints would come out of Buffalo with a victory, even with giving up a last second TD as time expired. The seasons still looks bleak and next up are the NY Jets, who can be one of the best teams in the league when firing on all cylinders.
