DENVER - Drew Brees welcomed back New Orleans interim coach Joe Vitt from his bounty banishment Sunday night by extending his NFL record to 50 consecutive games with a touchdown toss, the 300th of his career.
Brees added another just before the two-minute warning Sunday night to surpass Denver Hall of Famer John Elway for sixth on the career list.
But almost nothing else went right for the Saints in a 34-14 loss to the Broncos.
The 2-5 Saints, who will host the 3-4 Eagles on Monday night, became the first team to allow 400-plus yards in seven straight games since at least 1950 - as far back as Stats LLC can search its NFL database.
