New Orleans, LA (My Sportsbook) - New Orleans' defense rattled rookie Mark Sanchez into four turnovers, two of which resulted in scores, in New Orleans' 24-10 win over the New York Jets in a bout between unbeaten clubs with contrasting styles. Darren Sharper returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown and Remi Ayodele recovered a Sanchez fumble in the end zone in the victory. Pierre Thomas rushed for 86 yards on 19 carries and his fourth-quarter touchdown cemented the Saints' (4-0) win. The Saints' offense mustered only 10 points on Sunday, with Drew Brees, one of the league's best passers, held without a touchdown. However, the New Orleans defense picked up the slack, sacking Sanchez four times. Brees completed 20-of-32 passes for 190 yards, while Sanchez finished 14-of-27 passing for 138 yards, but was picked off three times as the Jets (3-1) failed to build on their amazing start to the season.
