Drew Brees Will Miss the Game Sunday, His First Game Missed to Injury with the Saints

Drew Brees has officially been ruled out of playing in Sunday’s game, according to head coach Sean Payton. It marks the first time Brees will miss a game specifically due to injury as a member of the New Orleans Saints (Brees did sit out week 17 of the 2009 season before the Saints went on to win the Super Bowl). That’s a crazy streak, and the last time a quarterback not named Drew Brees was the starter in a competitive game (Brunell started that week 17 game that the Saints rested starters), it was Todd Bouman in 2005. That’s a long time ago.
