METAIRIE — The last time the Saints lost a game, Drew Brees took a beating, and the entire offense took it personally.

Brees has not been sacked since, and the Saints have not lost since, either, winning three straight.

Brees said after Wednesday night’s practice that only some of the changes made where schematic, such as using running backs or tight ends to give more help blocking as needed. There were also elements of pride and determination involved coming off an Oct. 30 loss in St. Louis in which Brees was sacked six times.

“It’s a combination of both,” Brees said. “Anytime you have a game like that ... obviously it was a performance that not any of us were proud of — you go back and you say ‘These are corrections we have to make.’”

This week, Saints blockers will be tested again by Detroit, which ranks 10th in the NFL in sacks with 29.
