New Orleans Saints players swept the weekly FedEx awards announced Thursday as quarterback Drew Brees was named the FedEx Air Player of the Week while running back Mark Ingram was named the FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

Brees was 28 of 36 for 310 yards with four touchdowns and a 139,6 rating in the Saints' 49-21 victory over the Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday.
