Drew Brees admitted last Sunday that he would have booed himself, too, after an ill-advised interception that led to a cascade of boos from the home fans inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during the first half of a 27-24 overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

But the New Orleans Saints quarterback also continued to insist Wednesday that his repeated struggles with turnovers this season won’t change the unwavering confidence or the aggressive approach that have helped define him.

“I am extremely positive. I am annoyingly optimistic and confident, I’ve been told many times by teammates,” Brees said. “And so, you know what? I’m gonna come right back out the next series, and if that throw’s there, you can be darn sure it’s getting thrown.
