 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Aside from a few superficial touches, it didn't look, sound or feel like home. The New Orleans Saints better get used to it — because this is how it's going to be all season.
The New York Giants, visitors in name and jersey color only, had no complaints. Playing before 68,031 of their fans Monday night in the comfort of their own ballpark, the Giants beat the displaced Saints 27-10 in one of the most bizarre "home" settings in sports history.
NFL nomads with no stadium after the damage to the Superdome and New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Saints were given a home game here by the league. Historically more successful on the road under coach Jim Haslett (25-17 going in), they couldn't overcome critical mistakes in falling to 1-1.
