It was a record setting night for the Saints in their last game, as Drew Brees once again etched his name into the history books in the team’s 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday Night Football. Brees eclipsed Peyton Manning as the NFL’s all-time leading touchdown passer, by throwing four touchdown passes in the game. He also completed 29 of 30 pass attempts, helping the Saints rack up 424 yards compared to 205 for the overmatched Indianapolis offense.
Tennessee saw its four-game winning streak snapped in its last game, as the Titans fell 24-21 to the Houston Texans. In an evenly matched game that saw Ryan Tannehill outperform Deshaun Watson and the Titans win the turnover battle, Tennessee had a field goal blocked and turned the ball over on downs. Those crucial mistakes gave the Texans a slight edge that they used to not just win the game but pull ahead of the Titans in the AFC South race as well.
Heading into Week 16, the Titans find themselves on the outside looking in for a playoff, as they currently hold the seventh position in the AFC. Meanwhile, New Orleans sits in third place in the NFC despite being in a four-way tie for the best record in the conference.
