FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday afternoon that this would be Brees’ final home game. If the Saints would have won, they would have played at Lambeau Field in the NFC Championship Game.
“Drew Brees, tonight will be the last game he plays at the Superdome…Drew Brees will be done. That’s it. Tom Brady will continue. Drew Brees, this will be his last game in the Superdome,” Glazer said pregame on FOX.
Brees has yet to officially announce a decision on his future, but it’s expected to come soon.
