METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- Saints quarterback Drew Brees doesn't dispute the notion that he's been in a considerable rut the past two games.

At the same time, the perspective he's gained during a career spanning nearly 16 seasons leaves him with little doubt that a vintage performance could come as early as this Sunday in Arizona.

''I've played football a long time,'' Brees said after practice on Wednesday.

''I've thrown a lot of interceptions, unfortunately. I've also come back and had some pretty huge wins after games like that. The bottom line is my confidence is not lacking, put it that way.

''While I'm disappointed in myself for what happened over the last two games ... I know I can make those corrections.''

While Brees leads the NFL with 4,170 yards passing and is tied for second with 30 touchdowns, he has not thrown a scoring pass in two games. During that span, he has been intercepted six times.

Yet, after studying video of Brees' season, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said he doesn't really see a quarterback who is struggling.

Rather, Brees has been plagued by untimely mistakes, sometimes his own and sometimes his pass blockers' or receivers'.
