Now, I know this is hard to understand but Brees’ game was simply better than Rodgers. Doesn’t mean Rodgers was lacking, it just means Brees was better. It can happen. Get over it.

How can anyone say Murray earned it with a straight face? Rams defense is worse than the Colts. Even if you took out the Cowboys rushing totals completely, they’re still the 32nd ranked run defense and on a historically bad pace.

————————————————————

The 62 points scored broke the previous Saints record of 51, set three times — 1969 at St. Louis Cardinals, 1976 at Seattle and 2008 at home vs. Green Bay.

The 62 points ties the highest total in the NFL since the 1970 merger. Eight teams have exceeded the 62-point mark, but none since 1966.

The 55-point margin of victory is a franchise mark (surpassing the 42-point victory over Denver in 1988), and it was only the second time since 1989 that any NFL team has won by 50 or more points (New England 59, Tennessee 0, 2009).

The Saints set team scoring marks of eight touchdowns, eight extra points and 21 first-quarter points.

The Saints’ offense rolled up 36 first downs, a franchise record. The previous mark of 32 was achieved four times, most recently against Detroit in 2008. The NFL record is 39.

Kicker John Kasay set a franchise mark with eight extra points.

The Saints finished with 557 total yards, tying the second-highest total in franchise history. New Orleans had 236 yards rushing and 321 yards passing.

Drew Brees completed 89 percent of his passes, the second-best completion percentage — Mike Buck was 10-of-11 (90.9 percent) in 1993 against Pittsburgh — in Saints history and the best by a QB with at least 20 attempts. Brees went 31-of 35 for 325 yards and five touchdowns. He finished with a passer rating of 144.9.

Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in 34 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in NFL history. Johnny Unitas holds the NFL record of 47. Brett Favre is second with 36.

In the first quarter, Brees became the 15th quarterback in NFL history to reach 250 career touchdown passes. Brees has 253 career TD tosses; he passed Drew Bledsoe (251) in the third quarter for 14th place.

and yea im upset with the coaching staff… brees was at 33 fantasy points when they pulled him… could have been a 60 fantasy point day.

But Murray broke Tony Dorsetts Cowboys single game rookie rushing record.

Murray broke Emmitt Smiths Cowboys single game rushing record.

Murray broke Jim Browns single game rushing record vs St Louis.

Murray turned in a top ten NFL perfoprmance of ALL-TIME.

And Brees had only 73 more yards passing than Murray did rushing. 325 is very average.

How many records did Brees break? How can anyone say Brees earned it with a straight face?

Dont care who who the compitition is, that’s still an NFL defense.

Murry’s performance should be commended however, 250+ yds is very impressive and a nice start to his career.

——————————————————————–

325 yards + 5 TDs > 253 yards + 1 TD

Not sure how it’s even a contest.

Brees deserved this award. It’s hard to rank this performance vs. DeMarco’s (2 great performances vs. 2 bad teams), but as someone else pointed how whoever was starting for Dallas at RB was going for over 200 yards. Plus 1 rushing td vs. 5 passing is a large margin
