Jon Gruden said during the broadcast that he never wanted to play the New Orleans Saints following a bye, and it's become clear why.
The credit should be given to Sean Payton, the coaching staff and the entire team because football is a team effort, but Drew Brees is one of the main reasons why this team is so good following a loss.
We all know he can sling it, but one of Brees' best qualities is his commitment to prepare for the upcoming ball game. If this guy gets an extra week, you might as well jot down a "w" in the win/loss column for the Saints.
Better yet, you Saints' fans might as well jot that "w" on your refrigerator right now, because Brees is on fire. He has a passer rating of 138.3, 321 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown to go along with zero interceptions.
What an impressive performance by Brees, and there's still a lot of time left in this football game. With five minutes remaining in the third quarter, you know Brees and that Saints' offense will be getting the football once again.
And as I type this, Tracy Porter forces a fumble on third down. This play will be reviewed, and whether it's overturned or not, the Saints will still be getting the football.
Time for Brees to post more gaudy stats to an already impressive night of work.
