1. Eliminate turnovers, because the Giants score off them. The Saints had zero turnovers in Sunday's game. Drew Brees only threw one pass all day that could've been picked, and it was instead caught by Lance Moore on a ricochet.
Defensively, the Saints caused two turnovers. For all you math majors out there, this is good for a +2 turnover differential. Anytime you can do that in a game you have a very good opportunity to win.
2. Get an early lead. Obviously the Saints did this with another opening-possession touchdown and following that up with touchdowns on the next three possessions for a 20-3 lead. It seems pretty obvious that when playing at home with a lead, the crowd will stay in the game and the defense can play with attitude and swagger, which is so important to playing good defensive football.
