Drew Brees, to close the week 16 with a historic evening against Atlanta

The Falcons Saints to take a two games on the shelf two weeks of the season. Both teams can still win the South Division of the National Conference. Atlanta has won four of their last five games and New Orleans is currently enjoying a six-game winning streak. However, even though they are two teams that are in contention for the playoffs and as serious contenders for the championship game, the great story of the last match of week 16, he could write Drew Brees, Saints quarterback, who is pursuing one of the most iconic brands in the NFL. Brees collects 4.780-yard Peyton Manning having joined as the only quarterbacks to throw at least 4,500 yards in three different seasons, and needs 305 yards to set a record passing yards in a single season, surpassing the record of Hall of Famer Dan Marino, Miami Dolphins who set the record of 5.084 in 1984, being the first to have exceeded 5,000 for air in a NFL season. In 2008, Brees came within 15 yards of Marino and was only the second in history to exceed 5,000 yards the ground offensive. The Saints defeated Minnesota 42-20 last week, when Drew Brees became the first player in NFL history to complete 80 or more percent of their passes (32 of 40, 80%) and launch at least 400 yards (412), five touchdowns and no interceptions in a game. He scored his 11 th performance of 300 yards passing in 2011, the most in a single season in history. "It's a game of rivalry, so the energy and effort will be there," says the broker Falcons Michael Turner. In the fifteenth week, quarterback Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes to receiver Roddy White in Atlanta's victory over Jacksonville 41-14. The duo combined for 34 touchdown passes to get the most by a pair of Falcons history. The victory, of course, New Orleans assures the crown in the AFC South. Meanwhile, Atlanta got to the playoffs with the defeat of the Chicago Bears at Green Bay and struggle to overcome the Saints in the division race or a better position as a wildcard. The historical series is in favor of the Falcons 45 defeats and 39 wins for the last time they met at the Superdome in 2010, Atlanta took the win 27-24 in overtime. In the duel of the year, in week 10, New Orleans got even by winning 26-23 in extra time.
