All right. Joining us now is data analyst Jeff Asher. Jeff has brought some amazing games to Game on. We played. The RAS game we played the shot chart game for the Pelicans and most recently we played Family Feud WDSU style. What do we have today? Because we’re gonna keep it going with the Drew Brees team since we expect him to get elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the NFL Honors. Listen, I’m gunning for *** 30 minute show on WDSU that’s nothing but sports related games. So let’s keep moving along. All right, let’s keep it going. All right. Favorite game at the Superdome. Higher or lower, I’ve seen it *** few times with Theo Mitchell doing it. I’m, I’m gonna give you *** number, OK, for Drew Brees related question. You’re gonna tell me, well, that, that, that number’s wrong. You’re gonna tell me whether the actual number is higher or lower than the number I’m giving you. How many games we’re gonna go through here. So we, we got *** number of different questions. All right, great. All right, and I’m expecting 100%. There’s no chance. I failed on *** lot of school. Type of things. I believe in you. So higher or lower, 2 QBs in the NFL have thrown for 5000 yards in *** season or more and done it more than twice. Higher or lower? Higher than 2. The number of quarterbacks that have thrown for 5,000+ yards in *** season. Uh, twice, twice, more than twice, what, more than twice. Lower. It’s lower. Yes, there’s just one. Drew Brees has done it 5 times. I know he’s done it 5 times. Is it, can I guess who it is? Sure. Is it Tom Brady? Uh, I don’t believe so. I, I believe Matthew Stafford’s one of them, and I’m suddenly blanking on the other one. So now, now I’ve been put on the with all the pressure. All right, you’re 1 for 1. Good job. 1 for 1. All right, higher or lower. The Saints with Drew Brees lost 16 games when Drew Brees threw for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. Higher or lower, the Saints lost 16 games when Drew Brees threw for 300 yards and 3 touchdown. Proof I’m gonna go I want to go higher. It is higher. It’s 17 total with the Saints and 1 with San Diego. The next, the next most is Dan Marino with 13 such games. So Drew Brees is at 18 total, 17 of them with the Saints. That is more than *** full season of games when Drew Brees was playing. I must have, I think *** lot of those probably happened in the 2012 season whenever the defenses were horrid, actually that’s that and plus the, I’m gonna guess the 14 through 2016, 27 and 9 disaster. Masters where he threw *** lot of those, uh, 3 300 yard plus games and 3 touchdowns. He, he had *** number of games more than anyone else where he threw for at least 350 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions, and they still lost. That is not He has 5 such games. Nobody else has more than 2. So, all right, all right, keep it going. All right. Aaron Brooks is 400 passing touchdowns behind Drew Brees in 2nd place on the franchise record book. Aaron Brooks is 400 passing yards passing touchdowns behind Drew Brees for second place, and uh, I’m gonna say that’s lower. It is lower. Come on. He’s only 371 below. Uh, Drew is at 491. Uh, you got, uh, Aaron Brooks at 121. Tyler Shuck *** gamely 481 touchdowns behind right now. Let me, let me, let me be honest with you, I kind of misunderstood the question. I was at that point. I was just guessing, you got it right. That’s the important thing. You’re 3 for 3. All right, all right. Falcons president Matt Ryan, congrats on the new job. 15,000 fewer career passing yards than Drew Brees. Is the actual number higher or lower? So he has 15. I’m gonna go higher on this one. It is higher. We love Drew Brees. He’s 17,566 more yards than Matt Ryan. I feel like anything that like has Atlanta versus New Orleans, New Orleans is gonna be favored in that category. So, all right, it’s always all right. Higher or lower, Drew Brees led the NFL in passing yards 5 times, 5 seasons. Oh, this is gonna be the tough one. Is there such thing as push? It’s just higher or lower, higher or lower. There’s no push. Then we’d be playing higher, lower push. I’m gonna go higher. It is higher. It’s 7 times. Nobody else has done it more than 5 times. So another incredible record. And then our last question, it’s *** bonus question, everybody. Drew Brees. You’re 5 for 5. All right, what three players, when Drew Brees was with New Orleans between 2006 and 2020, those 15 years, led the NFL in passing completion percentage with *** minimum of 100 attempts. I’m even gonna give you number 2. Number 2 is Drew Brees at 68.8%. Tua is one of them. 22. Drew Brees is number 2. There’s two others. Who’s number 1 and number 3? Oh, I, I just guessed Tua. I don’t know because I feel like. No, it’s not Tua. You get 11 more guess. Is Matthew Stafford won? Matthew Stafford is not. I was, I love this. I was tickled by it, so I had to include this as *** bonus question. Number 3 is Chase Daniel, our old, our old friend. This can’t be real. And number 1 is Taysom Hill at 70.1%. This had to be All Saints, or it could have been anybody, anybody, and you. Um, 100 or more attempts. Taysom Hill is number 1 and Chase Daniels number 3. I cannot believe you. You kind of tricked me. 100 is *** little low, but incredible that Drew Brees is even number 2 on that list. All right, Jeff Asher with another great game. We went higher or lower with Drew Brees and hopefully Drew Brees gets elected into the Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Awesome game once again, Jeff. We’re gonna get you that 30 minute show. All right, let’s do it.
