Kirk Cousins throws 6 touchdowns while Drew Brees tosses 5 interceptions in possible swansong at the Superdome

NEW ORLEANS, December 27 -- The decline has come full throttle. On Sunday afternoon in December, you may have just witnessed Drew Brees’ worst game as his opposition number, Kirk Cousins, tossed six touchdowns in response as the Minnesota Vikings blew out the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings were coming off a blowout of their own the previous week and are looking to finish the season above .500. New Orleans falls to 10-5 and drop to the sixth seed. They are now on pace to be hosted by the Seattle Seahawks in the wildcard round.

The New Orleans Saints defense was as terrible as Drew Brees. The Vikings racked up 546 yards of offense and Justin Jefferson had two touchdowns to ice the game in the fourth quarter. Dalvin Cook, who started slow, started churning out the yards in the second half and finished with 110 yards off 26 carries. Adam Thielen repetitively beat Chauncey Gardner-Johnson in the slot as the Minnesota Vikings almost put up 50 points. It’s a game to forget for New Orleans. Even worse, it may have just been the last time Drew Brees plays in the Superdome.

Tannehill’s mistakes cost Tennessee week 16 matchup and season as the Titans will fail to make the playoffs
Tannehill completed 16 of his 33 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown and 3 interceptions.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 2 touchdowns as the Packers earned a 34-10 victory.

Tampa Bay shows they are the team to beat in the postseason
While Drew Brees showed father time against the Minnesota Vikings, Brady showed he’s still a spring chicken, as he threw for 6 touchdowns and an interception in their 56-23 victory over the Detroit Lions. The only worrying thing? Antonio Brown was held to without a catch.
