Half-time stats for Drew Brees vs. Eli Manning Brees 17-20 (85.0%), 247 yards (on pace for 494), 3 TDs, 157.7 ratting E. Manning 7-12 (58.3%), 85 yards, 1 TD, 108.0 rating
do you remember what the single game record is that Brees was within around 15 yards of breaking last year? Thinking like 535??
Webster was pushing Colston from behind. Saints dodged a bullet, there at the end. Payton should have taken the FG and 30-17 at halftime. Coughlin got greedy. NY gets the ball to start the 2nd half and it could have been 27-24 and anybody's ball game. If they try to get more pressure on Brees in the 2nd half by bringing in the safeties, Drew is gonna "moidalize" 'em.
There legs got tangled, any pushing that may have occurred was minimal and not deserving of a pass interference call and the reason the refs called it on the field as Webster not playing the ball.
