Throughout his career, Drew Brees has defied odds with his small stature and supposedly waning arm strength. Now, he’s battling Father Time, and winning. The 37-year-old quarterback is still playing at an incredibly high level, and you just have to take a gander at his numbers this season to realize that. He’s completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 686 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating is 109.9, and while it’s still early in the season, Brees could be on track for a stellar season. And with Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead dominating at receiver, his weapons are certainly helping the cause.The Falcons will have a hard time stopping Brees on Monday night, given that they have allowed the ninth-most passing yards per game up to this point. Atlanta catches a break with Snead out for tonight's game, but that only opens up a spot for Michael Thomas to see more reps. As good as Desmond Trufant is, he won't be able to cover both at the same time. Robert Alford will be tasked with limiting one of them, which will be a tough assignment. Brees will throw for 300-plus yards and a pair of touchdowns in what figures to be a shootout.
