Saints gain over 400 yards in victory over Texans

NEW ORLEANS -- Playing in the Superdome for the first time since the NFC Championship Game last season, the Saints' high-powered offense picked up where it left off, rolling over the Houston Texans 38-20 on Saturday night.

Drew Brees, who played for only one quarter, led New Orleans to two touchdowns -- handing off to Reggie Bush for a 9-yard score and leaping over center for a 1-yard TD that put the Saints ahead 14-0.

There wasn't much drop off when Chase Daniel took over in the second quarter. The Saints outgained the Texans 409 yards to 291.
