Can the Patriots keep their momentum going after a thrilling prime time victory against the Bills Sunday night?

That’s the big question, as New England (3-2) takes on New Orleans (1-4), which picked up its first win of the season against the Giants last week.

The Saints throttled the Patriots in Foxborough, by a score of 34-0, the last time these two teams met in 2023. New Orleans finished 9-8 and made the playoffs. New England went 4-13 and got the No. 3 pick in the draft, which they used to take Drake Maye.

Circumstances are different now for both teams. Bill Belichick is gone, and Mike Vrabel has the Patriots off to their best start since 2019. With Maye under center and Josh McDaniels calling plays, the Patriots’ offense has looked functional again for the first time in years.
