Match Brees versus Rivers? Not at all!
by Barbora Misakova


Well at this moment, there is nothing better I could do than to be honest – I don’t understand sport. I never did and I probably never will. Some kinds of sports such as basketball or volleyball are O.K. to me, but for example American football is quite chaotic. So I hope you forgive me if I make any mistakes. Anyway I won’t be talking so much about the result of match between Saints and Charges, because you can find them anywhere on the net or in the newspapers, and you will understand them better than me. But what is important and quite interesting is the star of this match – Brees. The full name of this 29-year-old quarterback from Texas is Drew Christopher Brees. He was originally playing for San Diego Chargers for his first five seasons, but this Sunday it was for the first time, what Brees had to face his former teammates. Well I wouldn’t like to be in his shoes.

Anyway as the results are showing, he managed this extraordinary and I think for him also quite uncomfortable situation and successfully lead the Saints to a 37-32 win over the Chargers. So he put New Orleans back at .500 and San Diego dropped to 3-5. As the fans could see, the game turned into a shootout between Brees and his former backup from San Diego Rivers. But Brees didn’t take this game as some kind of demonstrating who is better and who is not. As he said: “We beat a very good team today that needed a victory as badly as we did.” But Drew Brees was not the only good player of this match. Also Rivers came up with big numbers – completing 25 of 40 attempts for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns. Not so bad, what you think? Rivers expressed it clearly: “The whole experience was a lot of fun, except the outcome of the game.”
