THE RATING GAME NEW ORLEANS — Running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis are not traveling with the New Orleans Saints for today’s game the against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. METAIRIE — The New Orleans Saints have never been 9-0 before, and they’re learning what comes with being the last undefeated team in your conference. It has become clear the longer you go before losing your first game, the more likely each subsequent opponent will give you their best shot. NEW ORLEANS — The tradition by New Orleans fans to show up at the airport to welcome the Saints home from away games is heartwarming, the Saints owner says, but also can be dangerous. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — He may be 32, but Ricky Williams is far from done. And even without Ronnie Brown, the once written-off Miami Dolphins are back in the playoff picture. Running back Reggie Bush did not practice again Thursday as the New Orleans Saints continued preparing for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Raymond James Stadium. About this time of the NFL season each year, media and fans usually start trying to figure out what the New Orleans Saints and other teams have to do to make the playoffs. METAIRIE — New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis was back on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since spraining his right knee in the first half of an Oct. 25 game with the Miami Dolphins. ST. LOUIS — There wasn’t a lot to celebrate in the New Orleans Saints’ locker room Sunday afternoon. Normally, a road win that improves your record to 9-0 would be sufficient reason to kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labor for about 24 hours before turning your attention to the next team on your schedule. METAIRIE — Some relief for the New Orleans Saints battered cornerback position came Wednesday morning. METAIRIE — Saints coach Sean Payton said Monday there’s “no question” cornerback Tracy Porter will play again this season despite a knee injury suffered Sunday. METAIRIE (AP) — New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton says starting cornerback Tracy Porter has sprained his left knee and could return this season. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jake Delhomme went turnover-free for the third straight game, finding Steve Smith for two touchdowns as Carolina beat Atlanta, 28-19. ST. LOUIS — With the outcome resting on the final play of Sunday’s game with the St. Louis Rams, the New Orleans Saints secondary was down to one regular starter among the six players trying to defend against Marc Bulger’s do-or-die Hail Mary pass. ST. LOUIS — The New Orleans Saints matched the longest winning streak in the 43-year history of the organization Sunday by hanging on late for a 28-23 victory over the St. Louis Rams in the Edward Jones Dome. ST. LOUIS — After living on the edge for three consecutive games, the New Orleans Saints were as close as they’ve come to their first loss of the season Sunday against the 1-7 St. Louis Rams. |
