Flea Flicker:Everyone and their brother predicted this Saints-Cardinals game would be a defense-optional shootout, and the home team is doing its best to prove us all right.

After a downright silly touchdown run by Reggie Bush, the Saints broke out the trickery in the form of a 44-yard flea flicker to Devery Henderson for a score.

Running back Pierre Thomas took the handoff from Drew Brees and immediately flipped it back to him. Brees then threw a strike to a streaking Henderson to give the Saints a 28-14 lead.

Arizona would have been better served to employ the Tecmo Super Bowl strategy where you crush the quarterback on any running play just in case.
