Drew Brees gave up a pick 6 against the ravens that put the nail in the coffin. While he didn't lose the game all by himself that definitely hurt the saints chances if winning. His last 80 yards and td in that game were against a prevent def. he is still top 5 in the league we just need less interceptions.

Yes, he threw 1 interception in a game where he was pressured over 40% of his dropbacks. He had a lower interception rate in that game than he has in his career...

His performance prevented a blowout. They ran for almost 9 ypc, shut down our run, and had constant pressure.

So these stats count as garbage yards and inflate his number, but it's the end of the world when our D gives up those type of numbers at the end of games (Not claiming you said this, just pointing out the hypocritical nature of a lot of this fan base).

FYI, I don't think it counts as garbage yards when the team still has a chance to win. Had they recovered the insides kick, I believe they had 30-45 seconds to go down and try and get the game tying TD.
