New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees have accomplished a lot in their long partnership, but they can surpass a rare milestone on Sunday by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Per Pro Football Reference, they’re among the winningest coach-quarterback pairs in NFL history.
Payton and Brees have tied legendary Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula and quarterback Dan Marino for the second-most wins for a head coach-quarterback duo in NFL history, with 122 each. Another win will put them ahead of the Dolphins legends, who led Miami to a streak of East Coast dominance during the 1980’s and ’90’s.
