    Here's a rather bizarre fact as we head into week 15. With 3 games left, Drew Brees needs 716 passing yards to tie Dan Marino's single-season record. He will be facing Minnesota, Atlanta and Carolina. Those three teams' current combined average pass yardage defense per game: 715.9 yards.

    Doh. One tenth of a yard short. Didn't Brees miss it by a couple of yards a few years ago?

    In 2008 he came up 15 yards short. And threw a poor pass to a wide open receiver on the final play of the season that would have given him the record.

    Something else that no one's talking about in the hubbub over the yardage record....in 2009, Brees set a single-season record for completion percentage with 70.6%. He currently is at 70.9%.

    If I recall, that pass was to Lance Moore. While not as accurate as he normally is, I thought Moore could have caught it had he laid out. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I remember it.

    It should be noted that Reggie Bush needs 230 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. I think that's a plateau in the provisions for the picks the 'phins owe us.
