"Fresh off an emotional, monster second half against the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense greeted the one-win Saints with 22 points in the first half at Caesars Superdome. New England wound up needing every one of those points in what ended up being a much tighter affair than Patriots fans bargained for. The Patriots grinded out a 25-19 win, their third in a row, to improve to 4-2."
"New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas picked the perfect time for his 2025 breakout game Demario Douglas, where have you been all our lives? The sudden disappearance of the Patriots' most productive receiver from the past two seasons was an awkward storyline through five games. Most expected the shifty slot receiver to be utilized heavily in Josh McDaniels' scheme, but Douglas entered the Saints game averaging just 22.8 snaps per game, per Pro Football Focus,"
The Patriots opened strongly in New Orleans, scoring 22 first-half points behind quarterback Drake Maye. New England needed those points in a tighter-than-expected 25-19 victory, marking their third consecutive win and a 4-2 record. DeMario Douglas had been underused early in the season, averaging 22.8 snaps per game with seven receptions for 30 yards and one touchdown through five games. Douglas played just 16 snaps against the Saints but produced three catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. Officials nullified a separate 61-yard completion, preventing what would have been a 100-yard receiving game.
