Even Saints prolific tight end Jimmy Graham is entitled to an occasional stinker. And he certainly had one Sunday at St. Louis. But them, so did his team.

Those two facts were not mutually exclusive. The rare unproductive game from Graham proved costly in a 27-16 defeat. He didn't catch his first pass until three minutes remaining in the first half, then added only one more after intermission to finished with just two for 25 yards despite being targeted six times.

Graham will try to take out any frustrations he might have from Week 15 on Carolina next Sunday.
