Jimmy Graham has been playing out of this world. He leads the league with 593 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham will be looking to hook up on Sunday to put up some monster numbers against the Patriots defense. The Patriots know that Graham is going to be the main focus and Coach Belichick will try to take him out of the game.

Tom Brady doesn’t have the weapons that he usually has, but he still has been able to lead the team to a 4-1 record. He would love to have his tight end on the field to throw to, but he has to settle with a few rookie receivers. The team should keep getting better and better as they gain more experience.

Tom and Drew won’t ever be on the field at the same time, but these are two of the best to ever play the position. They will be motivated to play against each other and will be looking to one-up each other on the field. It will be fun to see how each quarterback dows. Brees has a 3-0 record against Brady and will be looking to continue that streak over him.

The Saints are on a roll with their head coach back in the saddle and the defense playing well. Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham are locked in and the offense is tough to stop. They will continue to roll against the Patriots. The Patriots do not have the firepower to hang with the Saints yet.
