Drew Brees tossed three touchdown passes and the New Orleans Saints bounced back from a tough loss in Week 1 to rout the Chicago Bears 30-13 on Sunday at the Louisiana Superdome.

Brees gave the Saints (1-1) their first lead with a 79-yard bomb to Devery Henderson in the second quarter, and he put the finishing touches on the win with scoring tosses to Robert Meachem and Darren Sproles.

Brees has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 29 consecutive regular-season games dating to Week 4 of the 2009 season. Brees has thrown 62 touchdown passes during the streak, which is the fourth-longest in the NFL since 1950.

Saints tight end Jimmy Graham was held out of the end zone, snapping a streak of four consecutive games with at least one touchdown reception.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was sacked six times and has been sacked 11 times through two games.

Brees has won 14 of his past 19 home starts.

The Bears (1-1) had won three straight against the Saints.
