From my favorite Saints forum :)

There's been a lot of talk about how good this Saints team is statistically, but I'm surprised at how little coverage there's been about one particular stat -- the Saints have been playing lights-out football when coming from behind.

The defense has been impressive when facing a deficit. Opposing teams driving with the lead have had 0 receptions, and more importantly, are 0 for 0 on third down and have converted first down 0 times. With this sort of defense, it's no surprise that in five games, our opponents have not scored a single time while already ahead.

But even more impressive is the consistency from the Saints passing attack, lead by Drew Brees. Playing catch-up is supposed to lead to forced passes and potential turnovers, but we've seen none of that so far this season. Brees is a solid 0 for 0 (0 yds, 0 TD, 0 int) in these situations, and our comeback drives have been so efficient, we've never given up the ball or settled for a field goal; in fact, we haven't even faced a single third down in any of them!
 
The good news is Miami faces Brady twice a year and Manning quite often so seeing a high flying offense is nothing new.

Pressure Pressure Pressure and grind it out on the ground is the prescribed remedy.

Don't worry. Brees will get to throw his first pass when trailing this coming Sunday.

what makes you think the Dolphins will even get a lead against the Saints? have you not watched the Saints this year? they are outscoring opponents by 100 points and have never trailed, so you think cause Henne has one good gam that he'll torch a Defense who is holding QB's to under 50 Passer rating, in only his second start? talk about homerific

Yup that game plan got us one minute away from a win over a team everyone said we had no business beating. The beauty of being the underdog is no one expects what happens to them if you win!
