Question

New England is at Chicago today. When these teams played in Super Bowl XX, Tony Eason started for the Patriots – playing against the team located in the state where he played his college ball (Eason played at Illinois). It didn’t end well; Eason was pulled after missing on his first 6 passes. Who is the only quarterback who’s done what Eason could not – win a Super Bowl against a team located in the state where he played his college football?

Answer

Drew Brees. Brees helped the Saints beat Indianapolis in the Super Bowl following the 2009 season. He played his college ball at Purdue.
