Drew Brees airs it out to Brandin Cooks for TD (video)

Drew Brees connects on a 38-yard aerial strike to wide receiver Brandin Cooks for his second touchdown pass of the day versus the Tennessee Titans.

Drew Brees completed a great 38 yard strike to wide receiver Brandin Cooks to give the New Orleans Saints an early 13-3 lead in Sunday’s game versus the Tennessee. Traditionally, Brees is one of the greatest passers at home in NFL history.

Though the Saints haven’t been as terrific at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome the last few years, it’s no surprise that the future Hall of Fame passer would make mince meat of the struggling Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee had lost their last six games coming into Sunday’s game, sitting at 1-6. New Orleans won their last three to get back to .500 at 4-4. Even though the Titans are in their first game with interim head coach Mike Mularkey since firing Ken Whisenhunt this season, the Titans do have a surprisingly good secondary.

Too bad Brees doesn’t care about that. He just wants touchdowns! Cooks is in his second year out of Oregon State and came to New Orleans with the hopes that he can become a number one type of receiver for the Saints. With more deep catches exploiting good secondaries, Cooks seems well on his way.

Brees continues to climb in the record books. When his career comes to an end, probably a decade from now since he wants to play until he’s 50, Drew Brees could have broken all of Brett Favre’s numbers. Okay, maybe not, but that touchdown pass to Cooks proves that he still has it and could continue to carve up opposing defenses for a long time.
