The Saints swarmed Michael Turner and stuffed him at the line of scrimmage. It was just one play out of many in a physical game between players who readily admit they don’t like each other very much, but it was a big play.

Not only because it led to a 26-23 win that put New Orleans in the driver’s seat in the NFC South but also because the Saints stopped a big back using their goal-line package of five down linemen. They didn’t allow the Falcons to make a push. They were the aggressors, the ones who didn’t break. They got the stop they desperately needed, and quarterback Drew Brees and the offense did what they do best: move the ball and win the game.

Lucic received a minor penalty for charging on the play.

According to NHL rules on goaltender interference: “A goalkeeper is not ‘fair game’ just because he is outside the goal crease.

However, incidental contact will be permitted when the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such unnecessary contact.”

Miller remained in the game but left after the second period with what coach Lindy Ruff called a sore neck. The Sabres revealed the concussion Sunday night when they said that they were recalling Drew McIntyre.

The ex-coach is accused of assaulting eight children over a 15-year span. His attorney has said he’s innocent.

The scandal led to the departure of university president Graham Spanier and the dismissal of legendary head coach Joe Paterno after law enforcement officials said they didn’t do enough to stop suspected abuse when it was reported to them in 2002.
