Interception by an defensive lineman and return that lead to points while knocking Warner out for the rest of the half.
I'm not saying that the Saints defense is great but when your defense is good enough to keep the other team out of the endzone and giving your high powered offense a shorter field, then you will probably win most of your games.

Bingo!
That was evidenced by the Colts as well.
They kept the Ravens and Rice to 3 points and out of the end zone.
Any points by Indy beyond a fourth one were for fun as weren't necessary to win. Indy could have won with a touchdown and saved some for next week thanks to their defense.
