METAIRIE, La. -- Once again, the New Orleans Saints passing offense made NFL history this year.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Saints became the first team ever to have four players with at least 70 receptions (tight end Jimmy Graham 86, running back Pierre Thomas 77, receiver Marques Colston 75, Darren Sproles 71).

Quarterback Drew Brees said he wasn't aware of the accomplishment -- but he was excited to hear it.

“Spread the wealth,” Brees said with a smile.

That's pretty much been the Saints' offensive mantra ever since Brees and coach Sean Payton arrived in New Orleans in 2006.They throw the ball a lot -- but instead of just targeting any one or two guys, they throw to whomever is open.

That's really the combination that's necessary to record such an achievement.

This year was a little unique, since the Saints targeted their two running backs so often. Last year, they had four players with 65 receptions, but the fourth was receiver Lance Moore.

Brees' 446 completions and 5,162 passing yards this year both ranked fifth in NFL history. And in both categories, Brees holds three of the top five spots in the all-time rankings.

It's weird that it didn't feel like it huh? Colston and Sproles hasn't really stood out this year and they still got theirs.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
