Something happened to the New Orleans Saints that they haven’t encountered before: Drew Brees pulled himself from a game after suffering an injury. Brees went down hard after being sacked by San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Kentavius Street on Sunday, and while he was able to close out the first half, he made a tough realization after the adrenaline wore off during halftime.
