Brees shines as Saints down Dolphins

By Jon Robinson

Is anybody playing better ball right now than Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints? Brees continued his season to remember against the Dolphins, throwing for five more touchdowns to help his team pull out the 38-24 win.

Jeremy Shockey is finally back to playing like the Shockey of old (and one of the most dominant tight ends in Madden history), collecting six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown.

On the flip side, Chad Henne had some spectacular moments against the Saints, including two touchdown passes, but he also threw three critical, second-half interceptions that prevented any hopes of a Dolphins comeback.
