Brees Index: Week 3

By Jeff Falconio

After 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.
