Brees may not blow-dry his right arm, but his golden limb is airing out passes at a record rate and the Saints are happily tagging along for the ride. He continued to make his case for the league's MVP award by shredding the Detroit Lions for 342 yards and three touchdown passes and posting his fourth straight rating of 100 or better in Sunday's 31-17 win. He has New Orleans in the driver's seat for its second NFC South title in three seasons, and his numbers have climbed since a loss at St. Louis in late October.

New Orleans' setback to the Rams on Oct. 30 had put both Tampa Bay and Atlanta right on the Saints' heels in the division race, with Brees' team having to face both the both the Buccaneers and Falcons in consecutive weeks following their third loss of the season. Those games kicked off the month of November, a time in which Brees feels teams should play at their best.

"November [is] where really I feel like teams begin to separate themselves, or at least the good ones do from the rest of the pack. And we wanted to be that team," said Brees after Sunday's victory, the fourth in the row for New Orleans. "We felt like this is the time where you want to be playing your best football and you want to continue to kind of stack the wins on top of each other one at a time."
