"While my name might be attached to the Player of the Week Award, this, in my opinion, is an award that the entire team shares," said Brees. "The offensive line did a fantastic job, the running backs were great in their pass protection and the receivers and tight ends were getting open and making the catches. I also think that the credit goes to the defense, who started the game so strongly and allowed us the opportunity to get the lead and play in front the entire way."

Now those are the words of a true leader! Congrats to the fresh Brees.
