3 reasons Drew Brees can beat Tom Brady for a third time
Saints Offensive Weapons
Brees has everything he needs at his disposal at the best possible time. Brees, Michael Thomas, and Alvin Kamara have only played ten total quarters together during the entire regular season in 2020.
Thomas looked like his old self in the Wildcard game against the Bears and Kamara has been a dominant force all season, including a record six-touchdown game against the Minnesota Vikings to end their playoff hopes.

Kamara led the team in both rushing and receiving yards scoring 21 touchdowns total. Jared Cook has also made a strong late-season push as he did last season.
Another important rise has been of Deonte Harris, the Saints KR specialist who has become more involved in the passing game of late, including his breakout performance last week with 7 catches for 83 yards.
He is also dangerous in the return game, making a difference in starting field position for the offense.
Other talented players such as Latavious Murray and Emmanuel Sanders have had big moments this season and can provide big plays should other players be locked down on specific assignments.
Murray and Taysom Hill, the Saints dual threat weapon, are questionable for this weekend, but would be another crucial piece should they be able to go.
