Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are a juggernaut--at least against the Oakland Raiders on this Sunday evening. The Saints have scored on their first three drives of the game and lead midway through the second quarter, 17-7.
Saints Vs. Raiders Score: Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham Connect On Drive, But Settle For Field Goal
After the Oakland Raiders punted the ball early in the second quarter, Brees took control of the offense at his own 22-yard line. He spread the ball around to his receivers, but came up with several sharp plays with tight end Jimmy Graham, including a 19-yard reception that put them in the red zone. On a 2nd-and-10 at the Raiders' 15-yard line, Brees had his best chance with a pass to Marques Colston, but Stanford Routt was all over the receiver and broke the pass up.
The Saints settled for a Garrett Hartley 33-yard field goal. They now lead the Raiders, 17-7, in the second quarter.
