In their 28-17 defeat of the Seahawks last night, the New Orleans Saints finally looked like the team they were touted to be before their inauspicious 0-4 start. Reggie Bush's 141 yards and 246 from quarterback Drew Brees helped the Saints "get this monkey off" their back, and Seattle continued their own streak of sloppy play, reports AP.

Tony Romo's Cowboys put up a fight, but 17 fourth-quarter points gave the Patriots their sixth straight lopsided win to start the season. Tom Brady threw an eye-popping five touchdowns; now with 21 through six games, he is on pace to break Peyton Manning's 2004 single-season record of 49.

Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens is the center of attention again, this time for keeping his mouth shut. Reporters flocking to the oft-troubled wideout’s locker for their regular 30 minute Wednesday chat were instead greeted by nothing more than a laminated note, the Dallas News reports. “I will be taking all questions immediately following Sunday’s game,” read the Owens missive.
