Flashing the sort of offense for which they are famous, the New Orleans Saints built a big lead Sunday and then coasted home for a 34-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at the Superdome.
The win was the team’s third in a row as New Orleans (7-3) enters a very short week of preparation before playing at Dallas on Thanksgiving.
Coach Sean Payton declined to characterize the Saints as “on a roll,” saying he preferred no label at this point. On the other hand, he made it clear the team’s strong showing in November, particularly when forced to play short-handed, was positive.
