A shot at Marino's record is about all the Saints have to root for now, as their 27-24 overtime setback to the Chicago Bears last Thursday set off a series of events that eliminated them from postseason contention. New Orleans allowed Chicago to return the opening kickoff to the end zone to dig itself an early hole, and fell behind by a 21-7 margin by halftime. The Saints |

Garrard had a rating of 7.6 after the first quarter and finished the game with 178 yards and a touchdown pass. Coming into the game, he was expected to have a decent outing against the Bears' 29th-rated pass defense. Garrard will get a chance to re |
