KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -So what if it's August and he's missing his two top receivers and his starting left tackle? Drew Brees is already showing off his Pro Bowl form for the New Orleans Saints.
The same cannot be said of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose murky quarterback picture was only muddied further Thursday night as Brodie Croyle struggled and a nearly perfect Brees led the Saints to a dominating 30-7 victory.
Playing in all but one series in the first half, Brees hit 17 of 19 passes against the first-team defense for 182 yards and one touchdown. One of his passes was a beauty of a downfield dart that David Patten dropped. His quarterback rating when he retired for the night was 124.1 - a sharp contrast to the 15.1 of Croyle.
''I felt we really executed well on offense,'' said Brees. ''Obviously, you'd like to get some more touchdowns instead of field goals, but sometimes that is just the way it goes.''
