19 – Different Saints who have scored a TD this season. Darnell Dinkins’ third quarter TD catch made him the 19th different Saint to score a TD this season. The 2007 New England Patriots hold the NFL record with 21 players.
386 – Days since Mike McKenzie last played for the Saints. McKenzie, just signed last week to help bolster a depleted secondary, emerged as a leader on defense.

He finished the game with 3 passes defended, including a key deflection on a 4th down pass to Randy Moss to end another promising New England drive.
