Brees can't fine his groove on rainy day

Full Story Here: Quarterback Drew Brees figured to cool off at some point, and it happened on a 58-degree afternoon yesterday.

Matched against a Denver defense that kept him in its crosshairs, he threw an interception for the first time in six games, 27 quarters and 195 passes. He also struggled to reach triple digits in passing yards, finishing with a season-low 106 on 14-of-27 passing. He had only 5 yards passing in the fourth quarter and just 20 in the second half.

But you never would have known it by Brees' demeanor. He didn't appear to be disappointed or frustrated. The bottom line to him was that the Chargers won – 20-17 – and he was on the field to direct them.
