Brees' Big Plays Late Help Saints Put Away Colts 27-21

INDIANAPOLIS — Drew Brees isn't slowing down. Neither are the Saints.

On a day New Orleans rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns and the defense produced four sacks and three turnovers, it was the 36-year-old quarterback who did just enough in the final three minutes Sunday to preserve a badly-needed 27-21 victory at Indianapolis.

"When you have a chance to win the game, you want to make the play to win the game," Brees said.

The former Purdue star has been doing that for years, and he wasn't about to change his strategy at what might have been his final football game in Indiana.
