Drew Brees Tosses Three Touchdowns in Playoff Loss
Drew Brees started off extremely slow, but finished with excellent passing numbers again in the second round of the playoffs. Brees threw for 294 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The two picks came in the first half, as the Saints fell to a 17-0 deficit at halftime. He nearly brought his team back to victory with a 14-yard touchdown to Alvin Kamara with 2:20 left in the game and then a drive leading to a field goal a minute later. The Vikings had other plans, however. Brees put up two of his best fantasy games in his final two games of the 2017 season, both in the playoffs. His yardage and touchdown totals may have dipped, but he showed he is still an elite player at his position.

Drew Brees Not Serious About NFL Comeback
Drew Brees (shoulder) over the years, isn't taking Brees' recent social media posts about unretiring seriously. Brees underwent left shoulder surgery two weeks ago and would be physically unable to play until at least September or October, according to a source. It was pretty much assumed that Brees' comments about unretiring recently were made in jest, so this report from Werder shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone. The 43-year-old will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when his time comes, but he won't be following in the footsteps of Tom Brady this year. The New Orleans Saints are fully committed to quarterback Jameis Winston at this point.
