Brees was 31-for-44 passing for 326 yards and three interceptions during Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off the high of a 49-21 pummeling of the Rams, Brees racked up 300 yards for a league-best eighth time in 12 games and amazingly nailed his average yards per game right on the head (326). On a sour note, the Saints succeeded on just one of three red-zone visits just one week removed from scoring touchdowns on all five of them. Despite allowing a field goal on the first possession after halftime, Brees and company were still in striking distance at 16-6, but the quarterback sprinkled three interceptions and just one touchdown drive among the team's five opportunities, ruining any chance at a comeback. Now two games behind the Falcons and potentially the Buccaneers in the NFC South standings, he'll now prepare for a key road matchup next Sunday with the latter.
