Drew Brees rallies New Orleans Saints from 17-point deficit to beat Los Angeles Chargers in OT

NEW ORLEANS -- Chalk up another rare milestone for Drew Brees on Monday Night Football.

Brees and the New Orleans Saints rallied from a 20-3 deficit on Monday night to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 in overtime -- just the second time in Brees' career that he had rallied from a deficit of 17 points or greater.

Brees was previously 1-48 in such situations, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. The other win? A thrilling 46-34 victory at Miami in 2009 during the Saints' Super Bowl season, in which New Orleans trailed by 21.
