NEW ORLEANS — Playing in the Superdome for the first time since the NFC championship game last season, New Orleans’ high-powered offense picked up where it left off, rolling over the Houston Texans 38-20 Saturday night.

 Drew Brees, who played for only one quarter, led New Orleans to two touchdowns — handing off to Reggie Bush for a 9-yard score and leaping over center for a 1-yard TD that put New Orleans up 14-0.

There was not much drop off when Chase Daniel took over in the second quarter. The Saints outgained Houston 409 yards to 291.

Brees completed 5 of 10 for 36 yards.

Daniel worked last three quarters of the game and completed 15 of 21 for 182 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted once.
