particularly brutal series Drew Bledsoe's reunion with Bill Par-cells is off to a wild and impressive start Hit and harassed all afternoon Bledsoe responded like the veteran he is throwing three touchdown passes two to Keyshawn Johnson to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 28-24 win over the defending AFC West champion San Diego Chargers on Sunday is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do said Bledsoe who became the 10th player in NFL history to throw for 40000 yards Bledsoe threw the winning 2-yard touchdown pass with 3:06 left as Johnson beat cornerback Sammy Davis on a quick out "That third-down completion to Keyshawn for the touchdown I live for this Bledsoe said The Cowboys get to celebrate though until Aaron

is no longer a simple game for the New Orleans Saints play this season for the victims of Hurricane Katrina a burden they'll carry every time they step on the field The Saints won Sunday for their deluged city and the dis-placed vic- tims of the Saints 23 Gulf Coast re- Panthers 20 gjon getting two touchdowns from Deuce McAllister and a 47-yard field goal from John Carney with 3 seconds left in a 23-20 win over the Carolina Panthers the back of our minds we know we have to give them one tiny bit of hope" said New Orleans quarterback Aaron Brooks New Orleans opened the game with a businesslike first drive running McAllister straight at vaunted line He touched the ball nine times on the drive capping it with a four-yard touchdown run McAllister added another score a two-yard TD in the second quarter to give the Saints a 14-7 lead they took into halftime Carolina was sloppy in this one Jake Delhomme threw two interceptions and the Panthers fumbled twice But New Orleans was never able to capitalize: The Saints fumbled away both of interceptions during returns It gave the Panthers just enough room to make a run at the win and they did it with big games from Steve Smith and Stephen Davis two of their stars who missed most of last season with injury Davis ran for 81 yards and a TD and Smith had eight catches for 138 yards and a TD but it wasn't enough The Panthers
