    Drew Brees rediscovered his Super Bowl form in time to make the defending champion New Orleans Saints look like contenders again.

    After taking a pounding and throwing an early interception, Brees connected on all but two of 22 passes he attempted in the second half, including two fourth-quarter touchdowns that lifted the Saints to a 20-10 victory over the Steelers on Sunday night.

    "We knew what a big game this was," said Brees, who threw for 191 yards in the second half to finish with 305 yards spread among nine receivers.

    "There was no better way to get back on track than to beat these guys. I felt like we played as complete a game as we've played all year, especially in the second half."

    Brees' first TD went to Marques Colston for 16 yards and the second went for 8 yards to Lance Moore with 2:37 left, breaking open a defensive struggle in which neither team scored a touchdown through three quarters.
