Flashback: Saints win Super Bowl XLIV. 02/07/2010 Drew Brees led the New Orleans Saints to a 31-17 Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
There, they defeated Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings in overtime, then went on to face Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts at Super Bowl XLIV in the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl appearance. The Saints won the Super Bowl 31–17, giving the city of New Orleans its first NFL championship.
The team was named "Saints" due to its birthday on the Roman Catholic Church's All Saints Day—a fitting nickname for a team in the largely Catholic New Orleans area. The name was announced on January 9, 1967. At the time, however, the Saints' three wins tied for the most ever for an expansion team's inaugural season.
Drew Brees, QB — $244.7 million
One thing to know: While much has been made of Tom Brady still playing well into his late 30s and early 40s, Brees is not far behind and doesn't seem ready to retire.They had Rivers on a $40 million contract, and he had sat for his first two years. That put the Chargers in an impossible position given the salary cap. In addition, there was lingering concern over a shoulder injury Brees suffered during the season. So, they made the only decision that made sense -they let Brees go.
Brees owns multiple Jimmy John's and Dunkin' franchises. He also invested in food delivery service Waitr. His foundation has donated more than $25 million to causes and academic institutions in New Orleans, San Diego and West Lafayette/Purdue communities.
Though Brady posted a career-low single-season passer rating of 85.7 and a career-high of 14 interceptions, he threw for a league-leading 28 touchdown passes and 921 more yards than in the 2001 season.

What happened to Drew Brees' face? So it turns out, the scar on Drew's face is actually a birthmark and not the result of an injury. In a previous interview with CNN, he opened up about how he dealt with bullying because of his mark (Oprah Winfrey even mistook it for a lipstick kiss years ago).
Brees, who had surgery on Wednesday after tearing a ligament in last Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, will instead watch the game on television.
Brees is believed to have a ligament issue on his throwing thumb after injuring his throwing hand in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
