BALTIMORE — If it seems like you just finished reading a Drew Brees-hits-a-milestone story, it's because you probably did.

BALTIMORE — Quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints stayed patient Sunday. The No. 1 offense in the league took what their opponents — the Baltimore Ravens and the No. 1 defense — allowed.

A midseason off week is a chance for self-scouting and soul searching. It’s safe to believe Oklahoma State has done plenty of that after back-to-back losses that send the Cowboys (4-3, 1-3 Big 12) into their tougher stretch of the season without much momentum.

BALTIMORE — For the New Orleans Saints, beating the Baltimore Ravens has been about as rare as Justin Tucker missing a kick.
