Shockey admits beating the Giants felt a little sweeter

Saints TE Jeremy Shockey didn't have his best game of the season, as he predicted, but he did relish scoring against his former Giants teammates on Sunday.

Shockey's TD contributed to the Saints' 48-27 win against the Giants, with whom he cut ties after the 2007 season.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel a bit better than (beating) some teams," Shockey told reporters, via the  Newark Star-Ledger.

"It was a little awkward, but it was all about getting that win."

Shockey played six sometimes-controversial seasons for the Giants. He did not score in a 50-catch season for the Saints last year. With three scores and 22 catches this year, he's beginning to become more of an offensive force for the 5-0 Saints.
