GREEN BAY, Wis. — Drew Brees stood on a dais underneath the stands at Lambeau Field early Sunday evening and wouldn’t allow himself to proclaim shock or anger or anything of that sort after the Saints lost 28-27 to the Packers.

Instead, he did something else. He went another direction.

“It stinks, but I know the type of guys we have,” Brees said. “I know the direction we’re headed and it’s all very positive. Despite where we’re at right now, I believe that this team is going to do something.”

Maybe that’s a good thing.
