Saints report card: Defense gets As all around for Christmas blitz

Drew Brees played efficiently, mistake-free football. He stuck gold when he took his shot and connected with Ted Ginn Jr. on the 54-yard touchdown strike near the end of the first half. I’m not blaming the third-quarter interception on Brees.

He completed 21 of 28 passes for 239 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Oh, and he also joined Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks to surpass 70,000 career passing yards.

Grade: B
