The Saints have a win, despite not having a head coach. I think that's terrific! As for Brees, he will be in the NFL Hall of Fame. The following was copied from the Saints website.

* Sunday’s victory was the 300th regular-season win in Saints’ franchise history. New Orleans is now 300-390-5 in its 46th season in the NFL.

* QB Drew Breesicon-article-link.gif completed 29 of 45 passes for 370 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a passer rating of 110.4.

* Brees’ 40-yard touchdown pass to WR Devery Hendersonicon-article-link.gif with 2:58 remaining in the first quarter extended his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 48, breaking a tie with Johnny Unitas for the longest streak in NFL history. Unitas’ record lasted 52 seasons.

* The record-setting touchdown pass was the 292nd of Brees’ career, moving him into sole possession of seventh place on the NFL’s career list for touchdown passes and breaking a tie with Warren Moon.

* In his 100th game as a Saint, Brees surpassed 30,000 yards passing in his Saints career on his third-quarter touchdown pass to WR Marques Colstonicon-article-link.gif. Brees now has 30,114 yards passing in a Saints uniform.

* Brees has 54 games of 300 yards or more in seven seasons as a Saint, including four this season.

* Brees has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 90 of his 100 starts.

* Brees extended his NFL-record streak of games with 20 or more completions to 41.

WOW!

A World Class quarterback trumps everything else in the NFL.

I think the Bears and Red Skins are the only teams to ever reach

the Super Bowl without a quarterback.

Great job by Brees, he is a great QB for this day and age.

Johnny U is still the greatest in my book. No one was tougher , no one could lead under pressure like him.

If you even want a good sports read check out Johnny Uthe life and times of Johnny Unitas by Tom Callahan

Best quote from the book "When men played football for something less than a living and something more than money"

much respect to the old time footballers who brought the game to the fore front.

Agreed. Brees is one of those guys who you can have your kid look up too. I looked up to the Elways Montana's of the day.

If the Saifs could get say a defense like Houston's we could get another ring

Or an O-line. Speaking strictly on the Bears behalf.
