Drew Brees Chastises Media For Saying the Saints Aren't the Same Team on the Road
By Jason McIntyre
The statistics don’t lie, Drew Brees said. The Saints can win on the road! They’ve won on the road more consistently since 2009 than any other team in the NFL! Since 2006, they’ve got the second most road wins in the NFL behind the Patriots! So take your ‘New Orleans is just ordinary on the road‘ jive and shove it!
As for Brees, nope, the statistics don’t lie: This year, you’ve been otherworldly at home, but just above-average on the road. It’s not a slight, either. Geno Smith of the Jets would give up all the bonuses he won’t reach this season for your road stats.
The dig Brees got in at the media – “Nobody’s really done their research, obviously” – is going to be played on a loop when the Saints are booted from the playoffs in January in Seattle.
