The New England Patriots already reached a milestone three months sooner than last season.

New England improved to 4-2 with Sunday’s 25-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots matched their win total from each of the last two seasons, and their fourth win of the 2024 campaign didn’t come until Week 18.

This marks the franchise’s best start since beginning 8-0 in Tom Brady’s final season with the Patriots in 2019. If they keep up this play, they could produce their first winning record and playoff appearance since 2021.

The Patriots also secured their first three-game winning streak since winning seven straight in 2021. Drake Maye led the way with another sharp outing, completing 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns.
