Recap: Miami vs. New Orleans
By Sports Network
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Drew Brees ran for the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, as the New Orleans Saints rallied from a big first-half deficit to take a 46-34 win over the Dolphins and stay unbeaten.
The Saints (6-0) trailed 24-3 with just under nine minutes left in the first half and looked headed for a blowout loss but totally reversed their fortunes by scoring 43 of the game's final 53 points -- including 36 in the second half.
Brees threw for 298 yards and a touchdown on 22-of-38 passing but was intercepted three times and lost a fumble in an atypical performance. He entered the game having thrown for 1,400 yards this season, with 13 TDs to only two interceptions.
The Saints, though, did most of their scoring on the ground and through defense Sunday, getting two rushing TDs from Brees and one from Reggie Bush. Darren Sharper and Tracy Porter each returned an interception for a score for New Orleans, which is off to its first 6-0 start since 1991.
Ricky Williams ran nine times for 80 yards and three scores to match a career high, but the Dolphins (2-4) wasted the early lead on the way to having their two-game win streak broken.
Ronnie Brown also rushed for a score for Miami, while Chad Henne, making his third start in a row, threw for 211 yards on 18-of-36 completions but had the two costly interceptions.
