The New Orleans Saints have had a lot of ups and downs through their first three weeks. They beat the Green Bay Packers 38-3, lost to the Carolina Panthers 26-7 and then beat the New England Patriots 28-13. While the former two games were decisive, the Saints’ win over the Patriots was a bit more of a roller coaster akin to their season.
After a dominant first half against New England, the Saints faltered in the second. The offense stagnated and the Patriots were able to mount a semblance of a comeback before the Saints ripped off a nearly 7-minute drive in the fourth quarter to go up 28-13 and effectively put the game away.
