​NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans Saints safety Justin Reid said he had trouble sleeping on the team’s overnight flight from New York to Paris.“I’m not in a bad mood about it because you still get to ride that high off of a big-time win,” Reid said Monday, alluding to the Saints’ 34-27, Week 6 victory over the Giants on Sunday. “We’re giving ourselves an opportunity here and able to ride on some good vibes.”After falling behind 10-0, the Saints (2-4) remarkably scored 34 straight points before holding on with a fourth down stop on a pass to the end zone, ending New York’s comeback bid.“The most important thing is that you got the win. This league is measured in wins and losses; it’s not measured in scores,” Reid said. “We showed up to the plate when we needed to and were able to close out a tough game.”The victory, which stopped a three-game skid, provided some respite from an increasing sense of desperation that had owner Gayle Benson expressing dissatisfaction last week. The Saints now have a 2-1 record on the road, where their only loss came by a single point in overtime.Next, they’ll try to take a winning performance in the Big Apple into another in the City of Lights. They’ll serve as the “home” team this coming Sunday in what also is the NFL’s first scheduled regular-season game in France.France sold its Louisiana territories — named to honor former French king Louis 14th — to the United States in the early 1800s. The fleur-de-lis on the Saints’ helmet, as well as similar ones on the flags of New Orleans and Louisiana, resemble what was the primary emblem of French royalty for centuries.That symbol doesn’t always engender pride among modern French citizens. They live in a republic that emerged from the French Revolution in the late 1700s.But if French spectators opt to root for the “visiting” Pittsburgh Steelers — with whom they’re bound to be more familiar, given their eight Super Bowl appearances, and six championships — that might not be such a bad thing for the Saints, considering their form in front of hostile crowds this season.What’s workingThe Saints’ running game, which had been anemic in recent weeks, came alive against the Giants. New Orleans finished with a season-high 175 yards rushing, led by Kendre Miller’s 70 yards on 20 carries. Alvin Kamara, CJ Donaldson and quarterback Tyler Shough each also ran for 30-plus yards.“It was all 11 — physical up front,” Saints coach Kellen Moore said Monday, noting that even receivers did well getting out to block Giants safeties. “Our running backs ran really, really hard,” Moore said. “We had a good mix there. We’ve got to continue that. We’ve got to build on that.”What needs helpThe Saints have largely done well against the pass this season, but had a rough day against the Giants, who gained 395 yards through the air.Stock upDefensive back Martin Emerson, who grew up about a three-hour’s drive east of New Orleans, in the Pensacola, Florida
