Taylor Lautner Nearly Beats Drew Brees in a Game of Pigskin

Taylor Lautner was almost overshadowed during his appearance on NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon when the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees showed up to challenge the teen actor to a game of pigskin.

While promoting the NFL’s Play60 campaign, which works to prevent childhood obesity by encouraging kids to be active for at least 60 minutes a day, Brees and Lautner engaged in a war of football skeet shooting, in which they each fired footballs at plates hurled in the air by Fallon. Lautner took the lead early in the competition, leaving Brees to fight for a sudden death victory in overtime.

Brees celebrated a banner season in 2011, breaking six NFL records and fulfilling the best season ever for a quarterback in the league. Lautner, however, holds “zero NFL passing records” -- as he was so kindly reminded by the show’s host.
