By Marc Bowman PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) - The New Orleans Saints weresimply dominant in their 30-7 victory over the Kansas CityChiefs on Thursday. Quarterback Drew Brees was nearly perfect, completing 17-of-19passes for 182 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown strike towide receiver David Patten. Brees completed his first sixpasses Thursday and is 36-of-45 for 361 yards in four preseasongames. Running back Reggie Bush led the rushing attack for New Orleans(2-2), carrying the ball six times for 51 yards as the Saintsdrove into the Chiefs red zone in each of their five first-halfpossessions. In the fourth quarter, backup running back Pierre Thomas scoredfrom six and 19 yards out for New Orleans. Although the Chiefs (0-3) solved part of their offensive puzzlewhen they signed star running back Larry Johnson to a five-yearcontract extension Wednesday, they continue to have questions atquarterback. With Damon Huard missing the game because of a calf injury,Brodie Croyle had a golden opportunity to grab the starting jobfor himself. Unfortunately for Croyle, the mistakes which have plagued hispreseason continued as he was 5-of-17 for 45 yards and aninterception. In the preseason, Croyle has completed 14-of-33 passes for 171yards with two interceptions overall. The Chiefs managed just three first-half first downs.
