2 “Ups” and 2 “Downs” from the game.

Well that one stung, didn’t it? The New Orleans Saints continue their putrid record in Week 1 games.

But in what was another roller-coaster of a game with plenty of ups and downs along the way, here are a couple that stood out.

He finished the game 37/45 for 439 yards, 3 TDs, a two-point conversion, and no interceptions. He nailed short throws and intermediate throws, and still showed plenty of zip on the ball.

After the Saints traded for Teddy Bridgewater to possibly fill in as the QB of the future in New Orleans, as early as next season, Drew Brees is putting to bed the talks that he doesn’t have anything left in the tank.
