NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Drew Brees fared a lot better in hissecond preseason game but it still did not result in a win. Rian Lindell kicked a 54-yard field goal with 3:23 to play,lifting the Buffalo Bills to a 13-10 victory over the NewOrleans Saints. While the loss dropped the Saints to 0-2 in the preseason, theteam had to feel a lot better about the performance of Brees. Following a dismal effort in the Hall of Fame game against thePittsburgh Steelers, when he went 1-for-6 for six yards, Breesshowed flashes of last season's form. Brees finished 12-of-14 for 118 yards but could only lead theteam to three points - a 42-yard field goal by Olindo Mare fiveseconds into the second quarter for a 3-0 lead. Bills rookie running back Marshawn Lynch, the No. 12 pick, hadjust two carries for three yards. He was upstaged bysecond-year back Fred Jackson, who rushed for 49 yards on eightcarries, including a 17-yard touchdown run with 2:09 to play inthe third quarter. Buffalo quarterback J.P. Losman finished 4-for-6 for just 20yards before giving way to Craig Nall and rookie Trent Edwards,who was 10-for-11 for 49 yards. Saints rookie Tyler Palko relieved Brees and completed 15-of-27passes for 172 yards. He hit No. 1 pick Robert Meachem on atwo-yard scoring pass but also threw two interceptions. Saints second-year back Reggie Bush ran for 15 yards on twocarries and caught three passes for 26 yards. Devery Hendersonhad three catches for 52 yards.
