Official Texans @ Saints Game Thread, 8/21/2010

[Arky]

Some of the stats that stick out to me:

Time of possession: Saints 40:00, Texans 20:00

Saints rushing: 198 yards.

Saints 3rd down conversions: 8/16 (Texans just 1/8)

Saints 4th down conversions: 3/3 (Texans 0/1) (Coach Payton, did you really need those 1st downs?)

Brees was just 5/10 for 36 yards - no TD's, no INT's. Backup Chase Daniel ate us up going 15/21 for 182 yards and 3 TDs, 1 Int.

Saints looked in mid-season form, Texans looked like bumblers but it's all good - they need to find this stuff out in the pre-season and get it together. It will be interesting to see if they can rebound against Dallas. I feel bad for Holliday but they may have discovered some new return men tonight....
