New Orleans Saints’ longtime quarterback Drew Brees surpassed Dan Marino’s record for passing yards in a season in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons and finished with 5,476 yards on the year. Brees threw 46 touchdown passes to 14 interceptions, a quarterback rating of 110.6, the second-highest of his career behind 2018 (115.7).
For reference, Brees had a quarterback rating of 109.6 in the team’s 2009 Super Bowl run, and each time he has a rating of 109.6 or higher, the Saints advanced to no less than the Divisional Round of the postseason.
Brees would win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award, as Aaron Rodgers took the league MVP Award.
