Drew Brees sets another record

Drew Brees who has been incredible since joining the Saints in '06 as a free agent as the San Diego Chargers, the team that drafted him in 2001 in the second round, decided that they did not need him anymore and moved on with Phillip Rivers. On the other hand the Saints put together a very good team around him with a great defense with a great incentive plan that they are now paying back with not being able to have Jonathan Vilma playing on their D and Will Smith not being able play the preseason. Brees has become the faster quarterback to throw for 40,000 yards and broke numerous records last season for yards thrown (5,476), completions (468), the highest completion % (71.2%), and most 300+ yard games (13) along while becoming the quarterback with the best completion % in history (65.94%). Then yesterday afternoon against the same Chargers team that did not want him and looking at going 0 and 5 on the season Brees went out with just over 3 minutes left in the first quarter and throw a 40 yard TD pass to Devery Henderson to set a new consecutive TD streak with him now throwing a TD in 48 straight games. This broke Johnny Unitas 52 year old 47 TD game streak that he had accomplished over the '56 through '60 seasons and was down by the Saints bench before the game and get a hug from Brees and then took him seats in section 115 and row 29 with his son beside him watch it all unfold right in front of his eyes @ Brees new home in New Oreleans. Brees finished off the Chargers 31-24 with 4 TD day while bringing them back from a 10-point deficit as also suspended for the season Saint head coach Sean Payton was in a press box watching the game as a request by Brees that the NFL agreed to. Brees began this record march as he and the Saints marched to the SuperBowl and then marched out with the SuperBowl in '09. In the end way likes of Elway, Marino, Kelly, Brady, and one of the Mannings boys in the NFL it is surprising that this record stood for so long Tom Mehegan
