Drew Brees was going to set the career passing yards record during Monday night’s game and it was all but certain that the record would fall by the time the Saints took possession of the ball with just over two minutes to play in the second quarter.Brees was 35 yards short of the record at that point and Peyton Manning would be No. 1 for one more play. Brees hit Tre'Quan Smith down the sideline for the record and began to build his edge over Manning as Smith went 62 yards for a touchdown.“I didn’t know it was going to happen on the first play to Tre’Quan Color Rush Benjamin Watson Jersey ,” Brees said, via the Associated Press. “But I don’t think it could have happened in any better fashion than it did. To have then that moment with my teammates on the field, the offensive line http://www.authenticsneworleanssaints.com/cheap-alex-okafor-jersey , it played out even greater than I ever could have imagined.”The game was stopped so the moment could be recognized with Brees’ family and the removal of the ball so that it could go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brees called it part of “an unbelievable journey” that now includes four wins in the first five games of a season that is yet to feature a Brees interception. The Saints used running back Alvin Kamara a lot during Mark Ingram‘s four-game suspension to open the season and Kamara performed well as the team won three of those games.Ingram’s return for last Monday’s game against Washington was expected to cut into Kamara’s usage, but the size of the bite was bigger than many would have predicted. Ingram had 18 touches, which was twice as many as Kamara had in the 43-19 win.In a post-bye conference call on Monday morning Youth Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , head coach Sean Payton said he expected more balance in the future and that the way the Saints scored changed the plans their last time out.“It just changes how the game unfolds. Alvin’s nine touches, I think is a little bit of byproduct of a 60-yard scoring strike, another 40 Youth Marcus Williams Jersey ,” Payton said, via the New Orleans Advocate. “Those change kind of the pitch count, if you will.”Having to figure out the balance between two productive backs on an offense averaging 35 points a game falls into the category of a good problem for Payton to have as the Saints get back to work this week.
