Don’t spit into the wind. Don’t tug on Superman’s cape. And don’t heckle Drew Brees after a New Orleans Saints game. That’s what one Philadelphia Eagles fan learned the hard way after Sunday’s matchup at the Caesars Superdome.
“Drew Brees, Go Birds,” the Eagles fan called out, having spotted Brees in a crowd leaving the stadium.
To which Brees turned back and responded: “I’ve got a pretty good record against you guys.”
Brees went 4-3 against the Eagles in regular season games, but he was 4-2 against them as quarterback of the Saints (one of those losses came when he was still with the Chargers), by a combined margin of 191-143. On top of that, Brees and the Saints ended three different Eagles Super Bowl bids in 2006 (winning 27-24 in the wild-card round), 2013 (26-24, the first Saints road playoff win in franchise history), and 2018 (20-14). So if you combine regular season starts with postgame matchups when Brees was quarterbacking the Saints, he’s 7-2 against the Eagles.
And that caused this Eagles fan to falter. “Oh really?” they managed, surprised by Brees’ rebuttal, but that’s where the video ends. We’re guessing they didn’t have much more to say after that.
