Pats Aim to Avoid Letdown Against New Orleans
The New England Patriots are riding high after their impressive victory over the Buffalo Bills last week. However, they'll need to avoid a letdown performance as they head to New Orleans to face the struggling Saints.
Maye-Diggs Connection Continues to Impress
Quarterback Drake Maye has formed a strong rapport with wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who had a big game against his former team in the win over the Bills. The pair will look to keep their connection clicking as they face a Saints defense that has struggled to slow down opposing passing attacks.
Injury Concerns for Patriots Defense
The Patriots will be without several key defensive players, including defensive end Keion White, linebacker Anfernee Jennings and safety Jaylinn Hawkins. This could open the door for unheralded rookies like Bradyn Swinson to step up and make an impact.
Saints Searching for First Home Win
New Orleans is still seeking its first victory at home this season after falling to the Giants in Week 5. Quarterback Spencer Rattler is coming off his first career win, but the Saints offense has been inconsistent all year. They'll need to find a way to slow down the Patriots' surging attack.
TL;DR
- Patriots look to build on their big win over the Bills as they visit the struggling Saints
- QB Drake Maye and WR Stefon Diggs continue to develop chemistry
- Patriots dealing with key defensive injuries, opening the door for young players
- Saints searching for first home win of the season, facing a tough test against the Patriots
