No one remembers this tidbit because it isn't true. Payton, Carmichael AND Brees came up with the game plans every week since 2006 together. It has always been a collaborative effort. In fact, that 62 point performance last year against the Colts was Carmichael and Brees.

Payton said he turned the keys over to Carmichael last Monday or Tuesday when the game plan was being crafted. The spectacular results were a point of pride in the locker room after the blowout. Brees said Carmichael's masterpiece underscored that the franchise's philosophy is not confined to the field.

"The belief that no matter what happens it is an opportunity for the next guy to step up and show what he's got," Brees said. "Pete did a phenomenal job. It was a great execution of our game plan. I don't know what to say about 62 points; I don't know that you ever expect to score that many."
