I guess it’s just a testament to Brees’ insane level of talent. The man is a gunslinger through and through. Pretty much no one throws a prettier ball in the entire NFL.
He might have started 0-4 last night and lost to the Cowboys, but the Saints are still having one hell of a great year thanks to his play. They’re 10-2, primed for a great playoff position and should be able to make an outstanding postseason run.

So, he set a bad milestone in his career last night, but ultimately, it’s nothing more than something to chuckle about.
The man can still sling a football better than just about everybody, and he’s bound for the Hall of Fame in Canton. You can bet on that.
