I know 2009, 2011. I get it.
But stay with me here.
I want you to go back into your collective memory banks and think of a road game that had unfavorable playing conditions and a game in which the offensive line played rather poorly. Now tell me where Drew Brees led us to 38 points and had a QB rating near 120?
I'll give you a game I actually attended back in 2011, you know the team regarded as the most prolific offense in NFL history? We went into Tampa, the offensive line struggled, and Drew Brees threw 3 interceptions to only 1 TD in a 26-20 loss. Same final score vs the Jets in 2013. He couldn't overcome it.
But here we are. The new and improved Drew Brees. Is that even possible?
Pretty incredible.
