One of our three highlighted matchups for Sunday lived up to the hype.
Drew Brees and Eli Manning combined for 13 touchdown passes in the New Orleans Saints’ 52-49 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, the most touchdown passes in a single game in NFL history, breaking the record of 12 set in 1969 by the Saints and Cardinals, who had six each.
The 101 combined points in the game was the third-most in NFL history and the most in the last decade (the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns combined for 106 in 2004).
