New Orleans – Another rare landmark for Drew Bryce on Monday night’s footballo.
The Bryce and New Orleans Saints rallied 20-3 on Monday night to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 in overtime – the second time in Bryce’s career that they have rallied for a loss of 17-points or more.
ESPN According to statistics and data research, Bryce was previously 1-48 in such situations. Another win? A thrilling 464-victory4 victory in Miami in 2009 during the Saints’ Super Bowl season, trailing New Orleans by 21.
“Yes, this was wild,” Bryce, 41, said in an ESPN broadcast after finishing with 325 yards, a touchdown pass and a TD run. “Listen, we didn’t play clearly for the first part of this football game. Obviously … we managed to get some points by going halfway through. But really I think at halftime it’s just ‘guys, come on out. And run, the things that win football games, not the things that beat you. “
Now, no one is exactly suggesting that the Saints (-2-6) look ready to run another Super Bowl after an ugly start to the season and at the start of another Monday night game, but also with a number of defensive breakdowns.
But they also overcame a 14-0 deficit in Detroit last week. And now they have the much-needed reboot after Week 6bye, which should include the return of star wide receiver Michael Thomas.
Thomas missed three games with a foot injury before sitting on the bench on Friday for punching a teammate in practice.
Bryce and Saints’ offense began early Monday night before a fire finally broke out during a two-minute touchdown drill before halftime.
Bryce started the game 7-of-15, passing for 43 yards with an interception before his strong finish. At the tight end of his 41-yard TD pass, Jared Cook has added the second-most airy yard of his throw this season. He also made the Saints downfield for kicker Will Lutz’s 36-yard field goal before the Saints’ defense came up with a game-winning stop.
Bryce had some memorable Monday night football. Includes career passing yardage record, NFL career TD pass record, NFL single-season passing yardage record, and NFL single-game completion percentage record.
Bryce has a total of 18 300-yard passing games and six games with at least four touchdown passes on Monday night – the most in league history.
The Chargers quarterback from New Reliance’s comeback ruined Monday night’s historic performance for quarterback Justin Herbert, who became the first rookie to throw four TD passes on Monday night’s football.
