Forget Reggie Bush's blazing speed and flashy moves.
His underrated power and grit turned a day of frustration into one of celebration for the New Orleans Saints.
His feet churning and body squirming as three Atlanta tacklers met him on the 2-yard line, Bush spun free and dived across the goal line on a crucial third-and-goal screen pass. His touchdown lifted New Orleans to a 22-16 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.
Bush finished with only 54 yards rushing and 19 yards receiving on a difficult day during which New Orleans' offense often sputtered. He also had several good gains called back for holding penalties.
