I was thinking about the kicking game. At the end of nearly every Saints set they forced Cas. to play out from deep in their own half, whilst Cas rarely managed decent last tackle kicks. That all meant Cas. were rarely attacking the Saints line and had to rely on scoring from deep. Added to that all the work their forwards had to get through to move back down field left them pretty ragged by the second half. So I think this was a major factor in the game.
