NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Jake Delhomme passed for three touchdowns and first-round pick Donte' Stallworth had a big night as the New Orleans Saints posted a 25-21 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the preseason finale for both teams. Getting the start in place of Aaron Brooks, who was given the night off, Delhomme completed 16-of-21 passes for 193 yards and an interception. One of Delhomme's touchdown passes was a 59-yard connection with Stallworth in the second quarter. The 13th overall pick out of Tennessee, Stallworth had four catches for 91 yards. Delhomme also had a 19-yard TD toss to Onome Ojo and found Robert Wilson from 12 yards in the third quarter, when the Saints took a 22-21 lead.
