TAMPA, Fla. -- By nearly any measure, quarterback Drew Brees' struggles the past two games have been unmatched during most of his time with the New Orleans Saints.
In Sunday's 16-11 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 28-13 loss to the Detroit Lions last week, Brees failed to throw a touchdown pass in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 3 and 4 of 2009. His streak of 60 straight home games with a touchdown pass also ended last week.
Brees had a passer rating of just 48.5 at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
