That INT did change the game. However, I won't fault Brady all the way for that. There is no excuse whatsoever for us going into a five wide shotgun formation on first down when we had just run the ball down their throats. Essentially, we turned our offense away from their weakness and played DIRECTLY into their strength. If we had stuck to the run game, we would have been up 14-3 at that point and could have sat back and ran the ball down their throats more which would have opened up the play action pass down the field. However, it is what it is. With the way the defense played against Brees, I'm not so sure a 14-3 lead would have been safe.
