THE LAST MEETING
New Orleans Saints 34, Indianapolis Colts 7; December 16, 2019 @ Mercedes-Benz Superdome - The New Orleans Saints, led by quarterback Drew Brees and wideout Michael Thomas, dismantled the Indianapolis Colts on a record-setting night in front of a nationally televised audience on "Monday Night Football."
Brees entered the game needing three touchdown tosses to break Peyton Manning's (539) record and become the NFL's all-time leader. Brees (541) surpassed Manning when he connected with tight end Josh Hill on a 5-yard play-action pass with just over seven minutes remaining in the third quarter. Brees completed 29-of-30 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns, setting the single-game NFL record for completion percentage (96.7).
Thomas, who hauled in 12 completions for 128 yards and one touchdown, set the NFL record for the most 10+ catch games in a season (eight) and he broke his own team record for receptions in a season as he has 133, eight more than in 2018, with two games to play. FULL GAME RECAP
