I don't think that it was during the playoffs.  He also doesn't have the most for a career.

I did watch the fourth quarter and Brees threw those Ints late in the game because of pressure.  Sure, the Falcons could blitz more because they were ahead, but that's the luxury of having a lead.  Total yards and time of possession don't mean anything in a game with 5 turnovers.  Often, the team with five turnovers has more yards and time of possession because they are playing catch up while the other team plays more conservatively.  Yardage and TOP are not always indicators of which team played better.  

At last you admitted that you haven't watched the game. The Saints started badly and the Falcons built up a 17-0 lead after two interceptions from Brees, but then Atlanta took a nosedive with (I think) four three and outs in a row. It was the Saints who were running the ball during that time, the Falcons just didn't go anywhere for a long time. It looked pretty good for the Saints, but then Brees threw his third interception and gave the Falcons some much needed new hope.

I watched the game and it wasn't one where one team stomped the other into the ground, despite five interceptions from Drew Brees.

But I did watch the fourth quarter and saw what took place then.  

Rol, I'll let you be right if you want, but I'm the one that's right with the prediction...
