Saints QB Drew Brees Facing Season Ending Foot Injury
Brees was taped up on the sideline and returned to play some of his best football – throwing three second-half touchdown passes during a futile comeback attempt. New Orleans responded with Brees’ 27-yard touchdown pass to Cooks and closed the gap a little more on Kai Forbath’s short field goal after the Lions made a stop on a third-andgoal from the 4. Cooks has been a tear in recent games.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will likely be shut down for the season.
He wore a walking boot when he spoke to reporters after the loss and said he will have an MRI on Tuesday to assess the extent of the injury.
On the day after their post-season hopes were officially extinguished, the New Orleans Saints’ miserable season continued. Some might note the effort in the second half to make the score a bit closer, but it should also be noted that the Lions had pulled of the gas by then.
“Guys are still excited and working hard”, said Lions receiver Golden Tate, who caught two touchdown passes in New Orleans. “Each day we’ll gather more information and have a better idea of where he will be as it pertains to playing”.
Stafford was 22-of-25 passing for 254 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions (5-9) raced to a 28-3 lead before holding off a late surge by the Saints (5-9).
That has brought about plenty of speculation already about the team going forward and whether it will be with, or without, coach Sean Payton and/or quarterback Drew Brees.
Woodson announced Monday he will retire following his 18th National Football League season, ending a career that included a Heisman Trophy, a Super Bowl title and numerous other honors. “You have to respect that”, Saints tight end Ben Watson said.
-RB C.J. Spiller (head) was evaluated for a possible concussion, but passed the tests and returned to the game with the Lions.
Matt Flynn briefly warmed up but Brees remained in the game. He joins Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, and Brett Favre on that elite list of quarterbacks.
But it’s an especially big deal for a quarterback; Brees pushes off that right foot, and will struggle getting as much on his throws. The receivers are fronted by wide receiver Calvin Johnson (1,000 yards and seven TDs). Meanwhile, Lance Moore also had one catch, which gained 10 yards. He missed the first regular-season game because of injury in his 10 years with the Saints in Week 3 with a bruised rotator cuff.
In doing so, Stafford broke Jon Kitna’s franchise record as he set a single-game career high in passer rating for the second time in the past month.

Payton made very similar comments in October after the first report surfaced from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that multiple teams, including the Miami Dolphins, are expected to inquire about Payton’s availability after the season.
