The Saints defense has looked absolutely terrible save for a series or two. That's okay, though, because Drew Brees is playing out of this mind. He's 20 of 25 for 313 yards, 4 TDs and a passer rating of 141.7. Yes, those are just the first half stats. Marques Colston, Darren Sproles, Joe Morgan and David Thomas all have a touchdown catch.
