Silver Minings: So long, Drew Brees

While he has not made an announcement, it is widely believed Drew Brees has played his final NFL game.

If so, his last game against the Las Vegas Raiders was a memorable one for the former AFC West foe. The Raiders won their first game at Allegiant Stadium against Brees and the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 on a Monday night, no less.

Of course, Brees, 42, spent the first five seasons of his 20-season career as an AFC West rival as the quarterback of the San Diego Chargers. Brees mostly had his way against the Raiders while in SoCal, and was 8-4 in his career against them.

With it appearing as if Brees’ next step is the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we bid him a fond farewell.
