Saints News, 12/15/15: Drew Brees is Saints' Best Shot to Avoid Pro Bowl Shutout

New, comments

From Mike Triplett: Quarterback Drew Brees gives the Saints their best chance. And he will almost certainly make the game as an alternate, as he did in 2014, if he doesn't make the first cut of six quarterbacks selected. But he was seventh in fan voting as of last week. And he has a lot of star power to navigate through at the QB position.
