Brees Index: Week 3By Jeff FalconioAfter 8 quarters the general thinking in the NFL was that Drew Brees could not be killed by conventional weapons. But we learned two things after the Saints 27-7 win over Buffalo: Pierre Thomas can run and Buffalo has a solid defense. The latter shouldn't be a big surprise. After all, the Bills kept Tom Brady under wraps for 55 minutes in Week 1.
Brees finished 16-29 for 172 yards and no touchdowns. Marques Colston was again the go-to guy with four catches for 67 yards. Despite being held without a score Brees has 9 TDs and 841 yards with a still-impressive 69.1% completion rate. Colston has 15 receptions for 195 yards. Most Popular |
