Adam Schefter confirms the Broncos contacted Drew Brees before AFC Championship

Can Adam Schefter make sense of last night's brutal Broncos bashing? Can HE find a shred of positivity in the wreckage? Also, before the game, Schefty casually dropped a report that the Broncos attempted to sign Drew Brees before the AFC Championship game, and Sean Payton had no knowledge of it. That seems impossible. How did Sean have NO idea about it at all?
