Drew Brees throws for 462 yards in loss
Saints quarterback Drew Brees has now thrown for 460-plus yards in back-to-back games this postseason.
That said, Brees would certainly trade that streak for the ability to extend his games played streak this postseason to three.
After throwing for 466 yards last week, Brees threw for 462 yards on 40-of-63 passing in today's loss to the 49ers.
Only Cleveland's Bernie Kosar threw for more yards (489) in an NFL postseason game than Brees. In other words, Brees now has thrown for the second- and third-most yards in playoff games in NFL history.
Brees ended his streak of postseason passes without an interception at 226 attempts as he threw four touchdowns and two interceptions today.
Earlier this month, I predicted that Brees would win the Offensive Player of the Year award while Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers would win the MVP award. Then again, I predicted the Saints would win the Super Bowl so what do I know ...
In my initial 2012 quarterback rankings, Brees will be my No. 2 fantasy quarterback behind only Rodgers.
