Game Notes

Saints avoid a winless campaign, beating the Jets 21-20.

New Orleans enters with an 0-14 record, but rallies in the 4th quarter twice to beat New York. Archie Manning goes 20-of-30 for 198 yards and a 45-yard TD pass to Jack Holmes that gives the Saints a 7-0 lead.

The Jets go-ahead after a 1-yard TD run by Kevin Long and a pair of FGs by Pat Leahy. Riding Tom Newton's career-high 116 yards rushing, New York leads into the 4th quarter.

However, Tony Galbreath's 2-yard TD run gives New Orleans the lead w/ 14:14 to play. After the Jets comeback immediately, regaining the lead 20-14 on Richard Todd's 32-yard TD run, the Saints drive back for a 1-yard TD run by Galbreath w/ 4:49 left. New York is unable to rally again as Todd struggles throughout, hitting just 9-of-27 attempts for 87 yards.
