When Tim Hightower of the Arizona Cardinals broke the first play from scrimmage for a 70-yard touchdown run, I thought, “I hope this game isn’t a blowout.”

Fifteen minutes later I was thinking the same thing, for a different reason. The New Orleans Saints, coming off three losses and a week’s layoff, found their winning form and scored three touchdowns in the first thirteen minutes of the game, going into the second quarter with a 21-7 lead.
