Summary
It was the first time in Brees' 20-year career that he started a game 0-for-5 or worse, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information.Brees rallied back with some big-time throws, including a 51-yard deep ball to Emmanuel Sanders, an impressive escape from pressure for a 24-yard touchdown pass to Latavius Murray and a fourth-quarter TD passes to Alvin Kamara and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.But he was ultimately too sporadic -- and the Saints too depleted at wide receiver as they lost their second straight game and fell to 10-4."I'll be honest. But it is what it is," Brees said.The veteran QB let out a big laugh when asked if he is 100 percent."No," Brees responded -- before adding, "but I'm on my way."He will have to bounce back quickly on a short week before the Saints host the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day.Brees -- who missed the previous four games because of his injuries -- finished 15-of-34 passing for 234 yards as he fell short in the marquee quarterback matchup against Patrick Mahomes.
