Brees found Jimmy Graham in the end zone on a one yard pass in the first quarter and hit Lance Moore with a 38-yard strike just before the half. Brees has already completed passes to seven different receivers in the first half. Out of that group of receivers Marques Colston is leading the way with three receptions for 54 yards.
