Drew Brees shut down in Wild Card loss
by Anthony Cervino | Mon, Jan 6th 5:43am EST
Saints QB Drew Brees completed 26-of-33 passes for 208 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Sunday's Wild Card playoff loss to the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact:
While Brees entered the postseason as one of the hottest signal-callers in the league, he was stifled by a Vikings defense that showed up to play and win. Not throwing an interception since Weel 12 against Carolina, Brees not only threw his first pick in five games, but he also lost a fumble, his first of the year. Despite his age, it wouldn't surprise me to see Brees back under center for the Saints in 2020 as he is chasing another Super Bowl win along with that proverbial Disney ending. However, with Teddy Bridgewater waiting in the wings who not only showed promise as the QB1 while Brees was sidelined earlier in the year, but he clearly fits Sean Payton's offense, perhaps the Saints are the ones who have a decision to make.
