MINNEAPOLIS — Former New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Remi Ayodele knew what he was going up against when his Minnesota Vikings faced his old team Sunday afternoon.

He, along with his new teammates, were powerless to stop Drew Brees’ pursuit of Dan Marino’s NFL single-season record for passing yards and were left to ponder the carnage Brees left in his wake in a 42-20 beating of the Vikings in Mall of America Field.

“The guy is very consistent,” Ayodele said after Brees moved closer to Marino and set two NFL records while reaching a personal milestone in a virtuoso performance. “He just knows what’s going on. He preps better than any quarterback I’ve ever played with.”

Brees completed 32 of 40 passes for 412 yards and five touchdowns and finished the day with a passer rating of 142.9.

He led his team to six touchdowns in seven meaningful possessions in shredding the Vikings’ pass defense before Chase Daniel replaced him in the fourth quarter.

While his list of accomplishments was long Sunday, Brees’ 412 passing yards pushed his total for the year to 4,780 yards. Brees needs just 305 more in the final two regular-season games to eclipse Marino’s 27-year-old record of 5,084 yards.
