Saints News, 11/4/15: Drew Brees Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

From NOLA.com: Brees threw an NFL-record seven touchdowns in a win against the Giants on Sunday. He and YA Tittle are the only quarterbacks in NFL history to pass for at least 500 yards and seven touchdowns in a single game. Brees has won 20 Offensive Player of the Week awards since joining the Saints in 2006, the most in the NFL during that time. He is one of three players to win the award at least 20 times. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the others.
