TAMPA, Fla. — While his lone Super Bowl ring can't match Tom Brady's stash of six, Drew Brees has the rare distinction of owning a decisive edge over Brady in head-to-head NFL matchups.
Brees, 41, has won four of the pair's six meetings, including two during his tenure with the Chargers way back in the George W. Bush administration.
