Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns, New Orleans' defense beat up on Jay Cutler and the Saints defeated the Chicago Bears 30-13 on Sunday. Brees' scoring strikes included a 79-yarder to Devery Henderson. Darren Sproles scored on a 12-yard swing pass and Robert Meachem had a 4-yard TD reception as the Saints (1-1) bounced back from an opening week loss to Green Bay. Facing heavy blitzing and without injured receiver Roy Williams, Cutler passed for 244 yards and a score, but was sacked six times and fumbled once. Running back Matt Forte had 117 yards receiving to go with 49 yards rushing for Chicago (1-1), which lost guard Gabe Carimi and safety Major Wright to injuries after entering the game without several other injured starters.

Brees has beaten every team in the NFL except the Ravens.....the only player that's beaten every team?????? Favre.
I was impressed with how the defense played. The Bears offense is far from elite but that was a very good showing nonetheless.
I didnt get to watch-- my work had fox off my Tv, but watched game tracker. six sacks? Thats good considering they hardly sniffed Rodgers last week. Only 3 second Half points, too. Gotta step it up against Houston, get that second straight win and get rolling.
