NEW ORLEANS - Drew Brees threw for four scores, Deuce McAllister set a Saints record with his 54th career touchdown and New Orleans rolled to a 51-29 victory against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.

Brees dismantled a Packers' secondary that came in ranked third in the NFL with 176.3 yards passing allowed per game. Brees was 20 of 26 for 323 yards. Two of his touchdowns went to Lance Moore, one for 70 yards.

Green Bay starter Aaron Rodgers' attempt to keep up resulted in three interceptions. Jason David picked off two passes, returning the first to the 3 to set up McAllister's record TD run.

Rodgers was 23 of 41 for 248 yards and two touchdowns.

Rodgers had a tough third quarter. In addition to David's two interceptions, he threw another pass that cornerback Randall Gay dropped with a clear path to the end zone.

Brees completed 13 in a row after misfiring on his first attempt.
