NEW ORLEANS -- During the New Orleans Saints magical run to the Super Bowl XLIV title in February 2010, Drew Brees saw every day what a Gregg Williams defense could do to an offense. It was a Saints defense Brees faced daily in practice.The stakes on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will be a bit different as the 4-6 Saints attempt to make yet another climb toward .500 against the 4-6 Los Angeles Rams.After climbing to 4-4 and putting themselves back in the NFC playoff picture following an 0-3 start, the Saints have dropped their last two games in large part because of atrocious special teams play.New Orleans lost 25-23 to the Denver Broncos two weeks ago when Wil Lutzs potential game-winning PAT was blocked and returned 84 yards for the winning two points. Then, last week against Carolina, a Lutz field goal was blocked, leading to a late first-half touchdown -- and a 10-point turnaround -- in a 23-20 loss to the Panthers.So when Brees faces Williams defense on Sunday, he knows he will be in for a challenge. Williams, after all, was the architect of a ball-hawking Super Bowl defense in New Orleans that forced 39 turnovers in 2009.It was also the defense that, because of Bountygate, got head coach Sean Payton and Williams suspended for a year. The NFL ruled the Saints defense operated a cash-for-big-hits scheme, which led to Paytons 2012 suspension.Brees knows that the Rams, led by defensive tackle Aaron Donald and inside linebacker Alec Ogletree, are relentless in their pursuit.I know what I see on film, Brees said of the Rams defense that is allowing just 18.7 points per game. I know that the things he has done in the past are part of his scheme. I know that hes a very good defensive coach, and I know hes going to have some things for us that we havent seen. My philosophy going into every game is always to expect the unexpected.Payton called Donald a rare talent. In 10 games, Donald has 31 tackles, five sacks, three passes defended and a forced fumble. Donald has collected 20 sacks since 2014.He might be one of the most talented interior guys there is, Payton said. (Its) just his energy, his motor and his ability, both in the run game and the pass game to be extremely disruptive. (Hes) a guy you have to plan for in both phases. You know hes going to make some plays. You hope to contain him as much as you can.The Saints are averaging 28.5 points per game, and their defense has played more solidly in the last month. But special teams gaffes have been so bad -- the Saints have had three kicks blocked and two others deflected -- that Payton took the unusual step of hiring Kevin ODea, formerly of the Tampa Bay Bucs, as a special teams coaching assistant, working especially with the snapper, holder and kicker.Were looking to fortify the troops, not change them right now, Payton said. (ODea) comes with expertise in developing and training kickers.Rams rookie Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, will make his second NFL start. In the Rams 14-10 loss to Miami last week, Goff completed 17 of 31 passes for 134 yards and ran four times for 11 yards. It will be his first road start.It will be loud, thats about it, Goff said. I think (last weeks start) helped. There were a lot of things I learned, good and bad stuff. ... We still have a chance to make a run here, and its not too late. We can do some special things if we put it together.Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said he realizes his defense will have to continue its stellar play to give Los Angeles a chance.We play hard, were physical, and if you look at the points allowed and things like that, weve been doing a respectable job, Fisher said. But when we have an offense thats struggling, the defense has to do better. And when you lose a 14-10 game and get one turnover and have hands on three balls, you have to catch one of them.Mark Ingram was listed as questionable after going through the NFL concussion protocol last week, but he is likely to play.I think its encouraging with him, and I think Ive said that all along, Payton said.Saints left tackle Terron Armstead is questionable with a knee injury.

LOS ANGELES -- Sam Darnold, both head coaches and everybody else in the Coliseum thought Darnolds wobbly pass was about to become Southern Californias fifth turnover.Everybody except Darreus Rogers, who simply went up and over Colorado cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to steal it for a spectacular 46-yard gain .I never thought it was going to be a pick, Rogers said. Those are the plays I need to make that will separate me as a player. I had to make that play for my teammates.A few minutes later, the Trojans seized a victory they felt rightfully belonged to them, too.Tyler Petite caught his second touchdown pass with 8:28 to play on a drive extended by Rogers heroics, and USC overcame four turnovers to beat No. 21 Colorado 21-17 on Saturday.Daniel Imatorbhebhe also caught a TD pass from Darnold, who passed for 358 yards and three scores along with two fumbles and an interception. USC (3-3, 2-2 Pac-12) shredded one of the nations top defenses for 539 yards, but Colorados takeaways kept an otherwise one-sided game close.All Pac-12 wins seem hard, especially when you turn the ball over like we did, USC coach Clay Helton said.After dominating for long stretches ruined by turnovers, the Trojans finally made their own breaks. Adoree Jackson made a jaw-dropping, one-footed interception , but the game turned on Rogers unbelievable effort.I thought Ahkello had a pick, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. It was right in front of us. He goes over and pulls it out of his hands, and it was a great play by their receiver. When the kid threw it, I thought, `Im glad he threw it. I think we got us another pick. And then all of a sudden, what a great play.Helton also was sure Darnolds pass would be intercepted by Witherspoon.He had two hands on it, and I had one hand, Rogers said. I felt like if I tucked it in faster, I could take it off of his hands. I wanted it more.After Petites tiebreaking score , Colorado (4-2, 2-1) kicked a field goal with 4:49 left, but the Trojans coolly ran out the clock. JuJu Smith-Schuster slid to the turf with a clear lane to the end zone and 1:15 to play, allowing USC to kneel it out.In the Buffaloes first game as a ranked team since Nov.dddddddddddd7, 2005, receiver Bryce Bobo threw a 67-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter and caught a tying TD pass with 10:20 to play.WINLESS WOESColorado fell to 0-11 in school history against USC in a rivalry dating to 1927.Somehow, some way, weve got to get USC, MacIntyre said. Were 0-fer right now. Weve got to get that off our back. Well do that eventually.DAVIS DOWNJustin Davis rushed for 83 yards before leaving with a high ankle sprain early in the second half for USC. Davis left the stadium on crutches.QB MOVESSteven Montez passed for 197 yards in the freshmans third straight start. Colorado career passing leader Sefo Liufau also played briefly, but he cant run much on his injured ankle, MacIntyre said.Today was just a testament to how much work we have left, Montez said. Its a humbling experience to show that we werent what we thought we are, and have so much work to do. I think it will help us in the long run. It will keep us hungry and get us focused.POLL IMPLICATIONSColorado: The Buffaloes return to the AP Top 25 after an 11-year absence could be over after one week after losing to a .500 opponent, but theyll have a chance to return quickly.THE TAKEAWAYColorado: The Buffaloes have plenty of work to do if they want to stay on top of the Pac-12 South standings. USC exposed deficiencies on both sides of the ball, but the Buffs opportunistic defense kept it close and suggested that this long-downtrodden program can hang with anybody.USC: After going 1/3 in a brutal September schedule, USC has been largely outstanding against two Pac-12 opponents in October. Helton surely will emphasize ball security in the upcoming week, because its the only thing that kept this win from being a second straight blowout of a division foe.UP NEXTColorado: The Buffs are back in Boulder to host Arizona State in another key Pac-12 South showdown.USC: The Trojans head out for their only road game of October, traveling to Arizona.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
