Drew Brees and the offense looked good, rolling out three scoring drives. Jimmy Graham has been the go-to guy. Offensive line looks better. Defense could pick it up a bit. Tackling looks a little sharper, though. Just a little.
But before we all get excited again, keep one thing in mind...it's Oakland.
