Drew Brees Downplays Idea He's Declining as QB After Saints' Loss to Raiders

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees laughed off a question Monday about the "narrative" that his performance is beginning to decline in his 20th NFL season.

"Well, my job is to execute the offense," Brees told reporters after a 34-24 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. "... My job's not to have the most air yards or throw the ball down the field most or anything like that."

He completed 26 of his 38 attempts for 312 yards with one touchdown and one interception as the Saints dropped to 1-1 on the season.
