Drew Brees passed for 363 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score as the New Orleans Saints rolled to a 49-24 victory over the Giants on Monday night, extending New York’s losing streak to three games.
Tight end Jimmy Graham had five catches for 84 yards, including touchdowns of 5 and 29 yards, for the Saints (8-3). Brees’ two other scoring strikes went to wide receiver Lance Moore, who had five catches for 54 yards.
This was a game the Giants were desperate to win after losing their previous two to the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles.
Instead, the Giants (6-5) dropped one game behind the first-place Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East and face the possibility of a four-game losing streak when they host the unbeaten Green Bay Packers next weekend.
