New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees insists that his side need to improve in the fourth quarter to continue their push for the playoffs.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is adamant that his side have to improve at finishing teams off following their narrow win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Saints ended a run of three straight defeats as they battled past the Steelers at Heinz Field to claim a 35-32 victory, which could have been more comfortable as Sean Payton's men conceded 16 points in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.

Brees told reporters: "I don't think that we finish games very well, and I would include today in that category. Winning breeds confidence, and winning can cure a lot of things. But it doesn't mean that you just ignore the things that can get you beat down the road.

"We've been in that situation too many times this year where we come out of games where we felt like we played well enough to win and just didn't finish how we wanted to.

"I don't want that to be the defining thing for our team this year with the inability to finish. We've got to finish better."

Payton's men are 5-7 in their season, but are just one game out of the playoff picture as they trail the Atlanta Falcons in their tie-breaker in the NFC South.
