Member Center:
NEW ORLEANS (AP/WATE) - The Saints have tied their best start to a season.
Drew Brees had 308 yards passing, Pierre Thomas scored two touchdowns and former Vol 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.
