Saints News, 10/5/15: New England Patriots Congratulate Drew Brees on 400 career TDs

From Julie Boudwin at NOLA.com: "The two newest members of the 400 club. Congrats Tom & Drew! #respect," the Patriots tweeted. Brees became the fifth quarterback to reach 400 career touchdowns, joining Peyton Manning (535), Brett Favre (508), Dan Marino (420) and Brady (401) in the 400-touchdown club.
