Drew Brees shaky in return from injury as New Orleans Saints fall to Kansas City Chiefs

NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees found his rhythm a little too late in his return from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung.

Brees started 0-for-6 passing with an interception in the New Orleans Saints' 32-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the first time in Brees' 20-year career that he had started a game 0-for-5 or worse, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Brees rallied back with some big-time throws, including a 51-yard deep ball to Emmanuel Sanders, an impressive escape from pressure for a 24-yard touchdown pass to Latavius Murray and fourth-quarter TD passes to Alvin Kamara and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
