NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Saints have tied their best start to a
season.

Drew Brees had 308 yards passing, Pierre Thomas scored two
touchdowns and Jabari Greer returned an interception for a score to
help the Saints improve to 7-0 with a 35-27 victory over the
Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Only the 1991 Saints began a
season with as many wins.

Greer's touchdown was the Saints' fifth score on an interception
this season, tying a single-season franchise mark set in 1998.
Tracy Porter also had an interception on the Saints' 1-yard line on
a pass tipped by Jonathan Vilma in the fourth quarter, preserving a
28-24 lead.

Darren Sharper sealed the win with his seventh interception of
the season in the final seconds, the third interception of the game
thrown by Matt Ryan.
