Last season, Drew Brees hit a slump in December. He was approaching his 40th birthday. It was fair to wonder if that was a sign he was finally slipping.
Brees is 40 now and getting better as this season wears on. Monday night will be remembered for Brees setting the all-time passing touchdown record, passing Peyton Manning with his 540th touchdown pass. History will also show that Brees didn’t stagger across the finish line in his chase of the touchdown record. He had one of the best games of his storied career on Monday night.
In terms of completion percentage, Brees had the greatest game in NFL history.
