Drew Brees Closing In On Touchdown Streak Record

New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees throws touchdown passes. Quite often, in fact.  Brees also stays healthy, which enables him to toss those TD passes game after game after game.

KSK 2012 NFL Prekkake: New Orleans Saints

The Saints were bounced from the playoffs by virtue of Alex Smith’s singular moment of career triumph. It was a disappointing ouster from the playoffs, but New Orleans had no reason to despair.
