Quick Take: McAllister sparks Saints

It was over when ...
Saints cornerback Tracy Porter intercepted J.T. O'Sullivan in the end zone with just under 10 minutes remaining and New Orleans leading 28-9.

Game ball
Running back Deuce McAllister had only two rushing attempts on the season but was more involved in the offense in Week 4, scoring his first touchdown of the year. McAllister finished with 83 total yards.

Key stat
O'Sullivan had two interceptions and lost a fumble, partly because of pressure caused by defensive end Charles Grant, who recorded two sacks and was a menace in the backfield. O'Sullivan was also sacked six times, and has now been taken down by opponents 19 times this season.

Noteworthy
Saints receiver Lance Moore matched his 2007 touchdown total with a pair of scores. ... 49ers running back Frank Gore was held without a touchdown for the first time this season. ... Saints quarterback Drew Brees had his second three-touchdown game of the season. He had three touchdown passes against the Buccaneers in Week 1.
