• Drew Brees tossed his 7,000th completed pass to rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway. He is the only NFL quarterback to surpass this mark. It’s quite an accomplishment for a 2nd pick who was considered too short to play the position long-term in the league. Congratulations, Mr. Brees!
• Brees is back on top in the NFL and leads the QBs in completion percentage rate at 72.6%. Guess who’s behind him? Former Saints QB Teddy Bridgewater. The current Panthers ace is at 72.2% on the year.
