"Obviously it wasn't meant to be. But I think it just goes to show you that if you're playing well at the end of the season, if you can be an ascending team on your way into the playoffs, it doesn't matter what's happened early on in the season. It doesn't matter about that 0-4 start. If you can get into the playoffs on the way up, then you can be in this position."

Brees touched on a handful of topics Wednesday, including the Saints' upcoming trip to London.
