Brees completed 29-of-49 passes for 235 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Brees and the Saints have typically been juggernauts at home, but a week after tossing five touchdowns, Brees inexplicably struggled in a lopsided home loss to the Panthers. Brees was under pressure often against a stout Carolina front seven and his receivers were of little help, dropping numerous passes. Things actually could have been worse, but Brees "salvaged" his day with a meaningless touchdown pass with five minutes to go in the affair. There's been little rhyme or reason to the Saints' offense this year, so it's difficult to predict how the squad will bounce back next week, but for Brees' owners who survived the Saints' offensive catastrophe, Week 15 brings a favorable matchup against a Bears' defense that has been frequently lit up the second half of the year.
