Brees passes Saints to win over Packers
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 11 - 2008

Drew Brees threw for four scores, Deuce McAllister set a Saints record with his 54th career touchdown and New Orleans rolled to a 51-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
Brees dismantled a Packers secondary that came in ranked third in the NFL with 176.3 yards passing allowed per game.
He was 20-of-26 for 323 yards as New Orleans tied a club record for points scored in a game. Two of his touchdowns went to Lance Moore, one for 70 yards.
The Saints quarterback remained on pace to break Dan Marino's 1984 record of 5,084 yards passing in a season. He has 3,574 yards with five games remaining. He also has the Saints (6-5) feeling better about their hopes of rallying for a playoff spot now that they've won two games in a row for the first time all season. The Packers (5-6) dropped a game behind Minnesota and Chicago in the race for first in the NFC North.
Aaron Rodgers' attempt to keep up with Brees' torrid passing resulted in three interceptions, two by Jason David and one by Kevin Kaesviharn. David returned his first pick to the 3, setting up McAllister's scoring run, which broke Dalton Hilliard's club record set in 1993.
Rodgers was 23-of-41 for 248 yards and touchdown passes of 7 yards to Greg Jennings and 4 yards to Ruvell Martin. Rodgers also ran for a 10-yard score. Ryan Grant rushed for 64 yards in the first half, but the Packers were forced to throw more as their deficit grew and Grant finished with only 67 yards.
Leading 24-21 at the half, the Saints began to seize control.
The Packers scored first on a 1-yard touchdown leap by fullback John Kuhn. It was the first rushing touchdown for Kuhn in his three-year career and only his eighth carry. But that would be Green Bay's last lead. Moore's 70-yard score came on the Saints' next play, and New Orleans took the lead on Thomas' first TD run. Green Bay tied it at 14 and again at 21 before New Orleans took the lead for good shortly before halftime on Garrett Hartley's 30
