A pair of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks are on display tonight in the Big Easy, where Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints defend home turf from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Brees was less spectacular but mistake-free in the Saints’ season-opener against the Bucs, going 18-for-30 for 160 yards and two TDs in a 34-23 New Orleans win.
