The quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees is close to adding a few more records to his illustrious career.
The Saints face the Baltimore Ravens this week and if they win, Brees could join the legendary Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the third quarterback in history to defeat all 32 teams in the NFL.On Sunday, Brees could enter two exclusive clubs among the NFL's passers-by.
The first to do so was Favre in 2009 when he played for the Minnesota Vikings and defeated the Green Bay Packers in Week 4.Manning joined in Week 1 of 2014, with the Denver Broncos beating the Indianapolis Colts, 31-24.Both Favre (Packers) and Manning (Colts) were the first passers to beat the remaining 31 teams in the league before switching franchises later in their careers.
Arizona Cardinals v Denver Broncos
The Cardinals ( 1-5 13.7PA 23.2PP ) despite being among the worst in the league has fought at least their games, in this scenario recorded average points allowed 20.0 in 3 games but playing just for 12.3 points in that stretch. The Broncos (2-4 20.0PA 25.7PP) have lost their first 2 commitments on the road averaging 15.0 points scored per game while they have allowed 30.5Arizona is 64 yards per game a mediocre box moving the ball in this way, being also the second worst team defending the race. They have not exceeded 300 total yards per game this season and are the worst team converting 3rd downDenver had a defensive improvement last Sunday limiting to 23 points to the Rams' strong offense, this frame has based its attack on its running attack although they were a bit limited in this regard last week.
Tom Brady has also defeated 31 NFL teams as a starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. Kerry Collins, who played with six franchises in his career, retired with wins over 31 teams in the league, the Miami Dolphins being the only club he could never beat.
However, the challenge of Brees is not easy, in four matches in his career against the Ravens he is 0-4, three of those defeats with the Saints and the last one was in Week 11 of 2014.
