Sad to say, but yeah Brees just looked done. And I think it has more to do with the injuries. Troy Aikman mentioned it in the broadcast and it makes sense. Brees didn't throw the ball past 20 yards much tonight. The one time the Saints had a big pass play, it was with Winston throwing it on a trick play. Last week, I think they had Taysom Hill come in to attempt a deep pass as well. I think we all knew Brees wasn't 100% but he may not have been 80% even.
So yeah, I'm not surprised Brees may retire after this season which is what Glazer and others reported before the game. He's had an exceptional career and is a future HOF, but I think with the injuries and wear-and-tear it's the right call to retire. Gave it his all. A shame he couldn't play in the SB two years ago due to that BS no-call by the refs.
