Saints...30 Chiefs...20

Drew Brees threw for 266 yards and one touchdown against the league’s worst defense, and the New Orleans Saints beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 30-20.

Lance Moore had eight catches for 102 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown play.

It was the first victory in five road games for the Saints (5-5), who haven’t played in their stadium since Oct. 12 and had to count a win in London over San Diego as a home game.

Tyler Thigpen’s second touchdown pass to Dwayne Bowe brought the Chiefs (1-9) to within seven points with 13:54 left.

But Brees led the Saints on a 12-play drive that was capped by Garrett Hartley’s 35-yard field goal with 3:28 left. Then Usama Young ended Thigpen’s string of 161 passes without an interception.

Quoteworthy: “This is our time to make a run. We’ve said that for a while now.” -- Drew Brees, Saints quarterback
