SAINTS 43, FALCONS 37 (OT)

Drew Brees’ one-yard run capped an 80-yard touchdown drive to open overtime. Brees’ score came after his apparent three-yard TD pass to Alvin Kamara was overturned on video review that determined Kamara’s knee was down before the goal-line. Brees scored on a keeper on the following play, giving the Saints (2-1) the win on the day the 39-year-old quarterbac­k set the NFL record for career completion­s. Brees passed for 396 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores. Kamara had 15 catches for 124 yards and ran for 66 yards. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan had his first career game with five scoring passes, including three to rookie Calvin Ridley.
