Saints- Patriots: Drew Brees Throws Five TD’s | NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

In a huge battle for the Saints to remain undefeated quarterback Drew Brees played his best game on a national stage. On the other side of the football, Tom Brady was held down to under 250 yards passing and zero touchdowns.

Drew Brees Leads Saints to Victory

The Saints ran the Patriots out of the gym in this game as Brees was a man possessed with his precision and dominant play. For the game, Brees was 18 of 23 passing for 371 yards and five touchdown passes.

This was an amazing stat line for anyone in any game but for Brees to do this on the big stage and on only 23 attempts was amazing. It’s time for the NFL to hold Brees a MVP trophy as he is clearly the best player in the NFL this year.

From a fantasy football perspective, this game led many fantasy teams into the playoffs as Brees put up a tone of points in this game.

Look for the Saints to continue their winning ways next week against the Redskins.

Brady Has Off Game

This was not Brady and the Patriots’ night from the get go as they struggled to get the ball in the end zone.

For the game Brady was intercepted twice and had zero touchdowns in the game. Beyond this performance, Brady was pulled from the game with about five minutes left. I can’t remember the last time Brady has been pulled from a game, but it’s been a long, long time.

Expect the Patriots to bounce back next week when they face the Dolphins in Miami.
