This Sunday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face the San Francisco 49ers for the 11th time in his storied career.
It's not easy to pass double-digits in starts against a nondivision opponent, unless you've played in the NFL since 2001, as Brees has. He's also been quite successful against the Niners, sporting a 7-3 record.
Last year's game versus San Francisco certainly had the most fireworks out of the 10 Brees-49ers meetings to date: The Niners won 48-46 in an endlessly entertaining shootout. But the most consequential Brees-49ers contest was in 2013.
