Quick Take: Titans overwhelm Saints

It was over when ...
Saints quarterback Drew Brees turned the ball over four times in the fourth quarter, with Vincent Fuller's first career interception and subsequent touchdown being the final blow to New Orleans in the closing minutes.

Game ball
Titans linebacker Keith Bullock had three interceptions, including a key pick with 7:22 left in the fourth quarter. Tennessee didn't get any points from the turnover (Rob Bironas missed a chip-shot field goal), but it kept the Saints offense off the field for key stretch. Bullock also notched two sacks.

Key stat
Vince Young, who is known more for his running at this point of his professional career, finished the game with two touchdown passes, while Brees had the four interceptions and no touchdowns.

Noteworthy
The battle between former USC running backs -- the Titans' LenDale White and the Saints' Reggie Bush --- went in White's favor. Bush had a pair of touchdowns but only rushed for 15 yards in the absence of Deuce McAlister, who left the game with an injury to his left knee. ... Young also left the game late in the second quarter to have his right wrist worked on and receive an I.V. He returned to play the entire second half.
