"Last week, the Patriots' challenging task was to prove they could measure up to the Buffalo Bills, the NFL's last undefeated team, on the road, on "Sunday Night Football," in prime time and under the microscope. They did so in a way so fulfilling, so satisfying, that quarterback Drake Maye is now the talk of the NFL, and the Patriots under Mike Vrabel are presumed to be a team to be reckoned with for the first time in a half-decade."
"The Patriots travel to New Orleans to face the Saints, who are coming off their first win of the season (and first of quarterback Spencer Rattler's career), a 26-14 victory over the Giants last Sunday. Under rookie coach Kellen Moore, the Saints are not a good football team, ranking 27th in the league in points scored (18.4 per game) and 24th in points allowed (27.0 per game)."
Patriots travel to New Orleans to play the Saints, seeking a third straight win. The Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills on the road in prime time, raising Drake Maye's profile and positioning Mike Vrabel's team as a contender. The Saints earned their first win and quarterback Spencer Rattler's first career victory but rank 27th in scoring and 24th in points allowed under rookie coach Kellen Moore. New Orleans played Buffalo tightly before losing late. The Patriots must avoid a letdown against a lesser opponent and sustain the performance that produced recent success. Christian Gonzalez is a defensive player to watch.
