Well into his fifth straight time hitting at least 1,000 yards, he welcomed the Chicago Bears and their secondary led by top-tier cornerback Jaylon Johnson and veteran safety Kevin Byard to US Bank Stadium on Monday, daring them to prevent him from chasing Ja'Marr Chase in the yardage list.

If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
