You might not have noticed but the New Orleans Saints now rank No. 8 in the NFL in rushing and are an even more impressive fourth in yards per carry.
When did this happen?
The Saints have quietly and gradually ascended the league rushing rankings over the course of the season. Their 205-yard night against the Giants two weeks vaulted them into the top 10 for the first time in a while.

Favre Denies Any Interest In Playing For Bears
Shelve your Wranglers and put those No. 4 Bears jersey orders on hold. Brett Favre says he's happy being retired.
"Inspite (sic) of reports about playing with various teams, I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football," Favre said in a statement Tuesday night.

One day after a source told ESPNChicago.com's Michael C. Wright that Favre would listen to the injury-riddled Bears if Chicago came calling, a high-ranking Bears source told ESPN's Ed Werder on Tuesday that the team has no interest in signing the 42-year-old quarterback.

Archie Recommends Against Peyton And Andrew Luck Playing On Same Team
Peyton Manning tutoring Andrew Luck next season in Indianapolis? While it sounds like a dream partnership, Peyton's father Archie doesn't think it's such a good idea.
"I don't think it'd necessarily be great for either one," Archie Manning told FOX Sports Radio on Tuesday, according to ProFootballTalk. "I think Andrew's the type of mature player ... he can walk right in. I mean, these other three or four guys that are playing this year, [if] they can walk in and contribute, Andrew can, too."
The winless Colts are on the fast track for the No. 1 pick, largely presumed to be Stanford's Luck. Colts vice chairman Bill Polian has said he would be open to taking a quarterback in the first round in April's draft and has said he's spoken with Peyton Manning about eventually drafting the future Hall of Famer's successor.

Saints WR Coach Curtis Johnson Named Head Coach At Tulane
NEW ORLEANS - All of Curtis Johnson's families were at Tulane University's Wilson Center Monday afternoon as the Saints wide receivers coach was named the Green Wave's new head football coach.
There was his wife Angel and many other members of his family, who made the short drive from the River Parishes. There was his Saints family, including head coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and a half-dozen of his wide receivers.
And his new family – the Tulane family – was out in full force to welcome the New Orleans native and St. Charles High graduate to his new home.
It was a historic afternoon as Johnson, the 39th head football coach in Tulane history, became the first African-American to take over leadership of the program.
