In the game vs Minnesota, we racked up 36 first downs. So it got me to thinking where that ranked all time in NFL history, knowing we had set the record at 40.
Drew Brees had led a Saints offense 5 such times with 35 or more first downs. In just the last 10 seasons, mind you.
Saints - 5
Chiefs - 2
Patriots - 2
Steelers - 2
Broncos - 2
Dolphins - 2
Rams - 2
Texans - 2
Packers - 2
Bengals - 2
Redskins - 2
7 Teams - 1
Again this is the entire history of football, and Drew Brees all by himself has more than lapped the field twice over in just the last 10 seasons.
