Saints streak past Jake Locker, Titans to clinch playoff berth

[truebluefan]

New Orleans got a wake-up call from the Tennessee Titans and Drew Brees came through to keep the Saints' winning streak going.

Unable to reach the end zone through three quarters, the Saints got a pair of touchdown passes from Brees to Marques Colston in the final 15 minutes to beat the Titans 22-17 on Sunday.

I don't think that it was as much of a wake-up call as it was planning for Hasselbeck and getting Locker instead. And--wow--Locker is a keeper! He did a great job and if he weren't such a young QB he wouldn't have made the rookie mistakes that he did in the last 50 seconds of the game. I thought it was an excellent game and nearly had heart failure during the last seven seconds. Too bad the Titans didn't have more class after losing and have accused the Saints of cheating to win.

True. Locker is the future of the Titans. He came in after Hasselbeck got hurt and played his heart out. Shame he lost, but Brees is just a good clutch quarterback.
