Featured Discussion Saints vs Colts MNF Game Day Thread

[SmashMouth]

Drew Brees has a knack for making history when the only NFL game to watch is being played inside Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

There was the Sunday night in 2012 when Brees' 40-yard pass to Devery Henderson gave him touchdown passes in 48 straight games, eclipsing a mark set by Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas half a century earlier. That streak finally ended at 54 games — a mark which still stands.

Six years later, on a Monday night in the dome, Brees broke Peyton Manning's previous career record of 71,940 yards passing in even more spectacular fashion: a 62-yard touchdown pass to then-rookie Tre'Quan Smith.

Brees entered this weekend three touchdowns shy of breaking Manning's career touchdowns passing record of 539 as the Saints prepared to host one of Manning's former teams, the Indianapolis Colts, on Monday night.

New England's Tom Brady, with two touchdowns Sunday at Cincinnati, increased his career total to 538, one ahead of Brees.
