NEW ORLEANS (AP) -Reggie Bush’s playoff encore didn’t have to be dazzling for New Orleans to get to its first Super Bowl.
Bush couldn’t quite match his game-breaking performance from the Saints’ 45-14 victory over Arizona a week earlier – his punt returning even hurt more than it helped. But he scored a key touchdown and had a big catch to sustain another scoring drive in New Orleans’ 31-28 win.
Bush scored a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a third-and-goal play from the 5, catching a short pass along the sideline, then twisting and muscling his way to the pylon to give the Saints a 28-21 lead.
Bush had two catches for 33 yards and seven rushes for only 8 yards and no punt return yards.
