Football Betting Lines
01/06/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was honored on Tuesday as the Associated Press' Offensive Player of the Year.
He torched defensive backfields for a career-high and NFL-best 5,069 yards and also led the league in pass attempts (635), pass completions (413) and completions of 25 yards or more (35) this season. He beat out Indianapolis quarterback and 2008 MVP Peyton Manning and Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson for the offensive award.
Brees, who became just the second player to pass for 5,000 yards or more in a season, is the only Saint to throw for more than 4,000 yards in three consecutive seasons and his 34 touchdown passes in 2008 were a franchise best. Dan Marino passed for an NFL-record 5,084 yards in 1984.
The Purdue product tied an NFL mark with 10 300-yard passing games this season despite New Orleans finishing last in the NFC South with an 8-8 record. Brees has thrown for 26,258 yards and 168 TDs in eight years with San Diego and New Orleans.
