Fournette was on and off the injury report all year long. Godwin had his health issues. Tom Brady had knee surgery immediately following the season’s end. All teams are banged up to a certain degree. Give Tom Brady 4 turnovers, and you’re going to lose that game.

1 fumble

3 int’s..., they were ALL terrible throws. The int’s were ALL Drew Brees, bad throws, all of them. Yes, the fumble was painful..., but so were the three interceptions. Do I think losing players during the game contributed? Yes. But all teams deal with injuries throughout the season and inside of each game. Next man up..., and adapt to the circumstances you have, not the one you wished, or hoped, or had luck prevailed, or been fortunate enough, to have.

Score was 20-20, after Drew’s first interception AND the ensuing TB touchdown from Cook’s fumble.

Put the ball in Drew’s hands, what happened?

1st possession:
PUNT (and a beautiful 55 yarder by Morestead I might add!), Time of Possession - 1:38, 5 plays 12 yards, 1 First Down due to penalty, 1 rush attempt

2nd possession:
INT#2, Time of Possession - 2:44, 5 plays, 13 yards, 1 passing First Down, 1 rush attempt

3rd (final) possession:
INT#3, Time of Possession - 0.40, 4 plays, 10 yards, 1 rushing First down, 1 rush attempt.

Bottom line, Drew Brees had his chances to move the ball, but was unable to do it, as evidenced by his 134 passing yards total for the entire game.
