Drew Brees A Strong Start Against Falcons
5 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will take on the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup. The 40-year-old put up a dud in his first game against Atlanta back in Week 10, failing to throw any touchdown passes. After a brief midseason turnaround, the Falcons Defense allowed Jameis Winston to throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns against them. Brees is coming off one of those games himself and should be able to repeat those numbers against Atlanta, a defense that still ranks 27th against the pass. The only concern is game script, as New Orleans could jump out to a lead and then lean on Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray in the second half. Brees will likely do enough to be a good QB1 this week.
