There will be a time to move forward and focus on the Miami Dolphins, but some victories are worth talking about a bit longer than others.

That's the case with the Saints' shutout victory over Tom Brady and the vaunted Bucs in Week 15, which WWL Radio's Bobby Hebert says should rank among the all-time best.

"You can talk about half a century, 50-plus years, it's one of the greatest defensive performances ever," Hebert said. "Ain't no damn ugly win. If we'd have won 3-0, or we'd have got a safety, 2-0, we won. The bottom line is ... you beat the greatest quarterback of all time, the GOAT."

The 9-0 victory marked a significant milestone in the Saints' season. The result moved New Orleans back to .500 and right in the thick of the race for the final wild card spot, but it also continued the Saints' regular season dominance over Brady since he arrived in Tampa Bay. New Orleans is 4-0 in those matchups, and has been particularly impressive on the road. The Saints won those matchups by a combined score of 47-3, and even more impressively held Brady out of the end zone both times.

"Tom Brady couldn't even sleep Sunday night. There's no telling what he broke in his house," Hebert said.
