MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL…
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 to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 in overtime, marking the second time in Brees’ career that the quarterback 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.
Brees now has 12 career OT wins, including the playoffs, tied with Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady for the most by a starting QB in NFL history.
