The New Orleans Saints, led by quarterback Drew Brees, dominated the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football 51-29.
“We spread the ball around pretty good,” Saints head coach Sean Payton said. “You just saw [Brees] being very comfortable with where he was going each time and I thought he was extremely efficient — and those guys up front did a good job for him as well.”
After the game the Packers had no excuses for their horrible performance.
“We didn’t slow them down at all tonight,” Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. “Give credit to the Saints and the play of their quarterback. He was on fire coming into the game and we didn’t cool him off any.”
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers played the worst game of his short NFL career throwing 3 picks against a very mediocre Saints defense. Meanwhile, Drew Brees made his case for the NFL MVP award by completing 20 of 26 pass attemps including 4 touchdowns.
Hmm, I wonder if Packer fans miss Brett Favre yet?
