New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was his old self against the Houston Texans in Week 3 of preseason. In the exhibition matchup, Brees went 17-for-25 for 179 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Brees is the key to the functionality of the offense, and with him at the helm, it should remain an efficient, high-powered unit. Expect Brees to rest when the Saints take on the Tennessee Titans in their final preseason game Thursday.
