 METAIRIE, La. (AP) - Drew Brees sounds like a man who's embarrassed, and not because of all the compliments he's getting over the New Orleans Saints' perfect record through seven games.
The Saints' past two victories have been riddled with errors, starting with eight turnovers, six of which were committed by the quarterback with four interceptions and a pair of fumbles.
"You look at it — four turnovers against Miami, four again against Atlanta — and those were good football teams we played and we were able to overcome them because of great defensive play and making some big plays offensively when we had to," Brees said. "But the fact of the matter is: That stuff gets you beat. At some point it catches up to you and we need to fix it. It's sloppy football and it's not what we preach around here. It's not what we teach. It's not how we work. So it's a bad reflection on us and we don't like that."
