New Orleans 15 at Philadelphia 7

The Saints held the Eagles to five first downs and only 90 yards of total net offense.  They completely shut down Ricky Bell, and gave notice that they are back to being the same tough defensive unit that led the Saints to the Super Bowl two years ago.  The Saints running game, however, still looks problematic, and their inability to score is still a problem.  All 15 points came off of field goals.  The Eagles have to be worried.  They were completely shut down by the Saints and, though they held the Saints to only 15 points, could not stop the Saints the entire game.  If the Eagles don't show improvement from this Vermeil may be getting the axe before the season is over.
