New Orleans Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt defended the play of QB Drew Brees in Week 13. Brees threw five interceptions, in addition to a clock-management gaffe at the end of the first half. 'When you have a great quarterback on your team, great quarterbacks can't have a conscience,' Vitt said. 'They're going to stick tight throws. They're going to make great plays. And those great plays that great quarterbacks make take great courage. And that's just the truth.'

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees saw his streak of 54-consecutive games of throwing a touchdown pass come to an end Thursday, Nov. 29, against the Atlanta Falcons. Brees threw 50 times, connecting on 28 of them, and passed for 341 yards, but failed to put one into the end zone. He did hit RB Darren Sproles for a passing touchdown, but the play was flagged for offensive pass interference on TE Jimmy Graham. Brees threw five interceptions during the game, which was a career high. Following the game, Brees said he has to hold himself accountable for the team's losses the past two weeks.
Fantasy Impact: It was a bad time for Brees to finally have a down game this season. He hurt a lot of playoff hopes for fantasy teams.
