New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees can add another piece of hardware to his already-full trophy case: the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards was voted FedEx Air Player of the Week for the second time in 2018.
While Brees breaking that historic record was an achievement in its own right, he also won this award off the vintage play he showed against Washington on Monday Night Football. Brees completed 26 of his 29 passes for 363 yards, scoring three times. The record-breaking throw came against busted coverage, with rookie receiver Tre’Quan Smith catching the pass down the sideline and streaking 62 yards into the end zone.
