Brees was asked about his future during the postgame press conference.

"I'm gonna give myself an opportunity to think about the season, think about a lot of things, just like I did last year and make a decision," he said, via ESPN.

He also added that he had "no regrets" about how the season went down.

Brees was seen at the very end of the night chatting with Tom Brady. It was unclear what the two were talking about but the Buccaneers quarterback managed to throw a pass to Brees’ son amid their conversation.
