Half-Time Report: Drew Brees throws three scores to hand the New Orleans Saints the lead

Brees throws three scores to hand New Orleans the lead

Drew Brees has been the difference as the New Orleans Saints hold a 21-10 advantage over the Buffalo Bills as the teams head into the half-time break.

Brees threw his first touchdown pass in the first quarter, hitting Lance Moore with a 15-yard attempt.

The Bills hit back however through Stevie Johnson, who levelled things up from an accurate attempt from Thad Lewis, before a Dan Carpenter field goal gave them the lead for the first time.

With the half winding down, Brees turned things around, finding Kenny Stills for a 69-yard touchdown pass before hitting tight end Jimmy Graham with 30 seconds remaining on the clock.
