Brees joke was in no way him saying his assessment of the interception was a joke. That's a reach being made to try to discredit Brees's assessment because you don't agree with it. You know Brees has more knowledge and understanding of the game than any of us here, so you're reaching to incorrectly try to make Brees's sincere assessment as insincere based off of the off the cuff joke he made afterwards.
