The New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots face off on Sunday afternoon in the team’s first home game of the 2017 season. Both teams come into this game with a record of 0-1, anxious to reverse the doubts caused by lopsided losses in Week 1.
These teams don’t play each other often, because the Patriots play in the AFC and the Saints of course are in the NFC. This will be the 14th meeting between the two franchises, with New England holding a 9-4 advantage in the series. The first time they played was during the 1972 season, a home game for New Orleans played in Tulane Stadium, resulting in a 17-10 Patriots victory.
