Brees Gets Hotter As The Weather Gets Colder

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is playing his best football of the year, down the stretch. Mike Triplett, of the Times-Picayune, has the story, below.

Since the New Orleans Saints' win last week at Cincinnati was so sloppy, it almost went unnoticed that quarterback Drew Brees had his best performance of the season.

Brees had a season-high passer rating of 120.3 and a season-high completion percentage of 82.8 while completing 24 of 29 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

And, of course, he led the Saints from behind in the final minutes for the second straight week, this time completing a 42-yard throw to Robert Meachem and a three-yard touchdown pass to Marques Colston for the 34-30 victory.
