The highest scoring game in franchise history and one of only five games in NFL history with more than 100 combined points featured an all-time quarterback duel between two future Hall of Famers and their .500 teams. The New Orleans Saints were in the middle of the 7-9 era and the Giants were getting further and further away from their Super Bowl team of 2011, but despite this, Drew Brees and Eli Manning produced one of the most exciting games in NFL history.
The Saints entered the game 3-4, trailing the undefeated Panthers and the 6-1 Falcons (who the Saints had just beaten two weeks prior and who would finish the year 8-8 and miss the playoffs) for the division lead.
