METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees said he wants to take this season one day, one week, one game at a time -- and he wants to save the career reflections for sometime down the road.
But the New Orleans Saints quarterback knows he won't be able to escape the attention as he approaches the NFL's all-time passing yardage record, which he should eclipse at some point in October.
"Well, there’s a reason they put Week 5 on Monday night," Brees said of the Saints' Oct. 8 home date with the Washington Redskins.
