Also that intentional grounding was absolutely correct also. Brees was in the box. The ball landed between the lines with no one in the world around it. Notice how Brees didn’t even try to argue it. He couldn’t. It was a dumb play.
It wasn't a dumb play. He had 3 choices: take the sack and risk getting injured, throw the ball where it might be intercepted, or throw the ball and take the grounding call. He chose the best option.
