New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees entered elite company with the team's 21-9 victory over the Chicago Bears in their NFC wild-card game on Sunday.

Brees connected with Thomas from 11 yards out in the first quarter. It was Thomas' first touchdown since Dec. 22, 2019 against the Titans. He missed nine games this year, including the team's last three games, due to an ankle injury. Thomas finished with five receptions for 73 yards.

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 19 of 29 passes for 199 yards and one touchdown pass to tight end Jimmy Graham as time expired. The Bears only had 48 rushing yards in the game.
