It’s been a busy year for Saints quarterback Drew Brees. He started off the year with a bang, by helping the Saints run through the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings on the way to their Super Bowl championship over the Indianapolis Colts.

It’s ironic that Brett Favre’s impressive streak of consecutive games came to an end on the same field that badly hurt the Packers’ playoff chances.
