The last time the New England Patriots played a regular season game in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was Nov. 30, 2009.
And Saints quarterback Drew Brees made history.
He completed 18 of 23 passes for 371 yards and five touchdowns in a stunning 38-17 rout of the Patriots. The beat down was so one-sided Pats coach Bill Belichick threw in the towel with 5 minutes left and subbed Brian Hoyer for Tom Brady at quarterback.
It was the greatest passing performance of Brees' stellar career. In fact, it's one of the single greatest passing performances in NFL history.
