Quick take: Saints too much for Bengals

It was over when
Antonio Pittman ran the ball into the end zone to start the fourth quarter and put the Saints up 24-12. Pittman picked up 17 yards on six carries.

Game balls
The Saints offense looked solid from the first snap. Drew Brees finished 6-for-6, Reggie Bush rushed for a touchdown and Deuce McAllister scored on a 8-yard run in the first two quarters.

Key stats
Bengals kicker Shayne Graham made all three of his field goal attempts, including one from 51-yards. On the other side of the ball, despite going 14-for-19 and collecting 139 yards, Saints backup QB Jamie Martin was responsible for three of the teams five fumbles, lost all of them and finished with negative rushing yards.

Noteworthy
The Bengals defense combined for five sacks on the night.
