After the New Orleans Saints dropped Monday night's game 35-27 loss to the Detroit Lions, it was a bottle of mixed emotions. While Drew Brees spent the night breaking records, the Saints unfortunately broke another record that wasn't one that you'd want to brag about.

Via the team's official Twitter:

That's a pretty amazing stat to think about, as the Saints were playing from behind the entire game. You'd assume that at least once or twice there'd be a situation where New Orleans forced it downfield, but that wasn't the case. Brees, Tim Hightower and the rest of the Saints did a great job protecting the ball, but it just wasn't enough on Monday night.
