It was just over two years ago when the Saints played the Patriots at Foxborough. This game sees both teams struggling on offense, and something has to give.
You don't want to say that a game so early in the season is a 'must-win' situation for the 2-2 Saints, but it sort of feels that way. New Orleans had a very promising start to the year, but the past two games have raised major red flags for Dennis Allen and company. They travel up to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough to take on the Patriots , where they were just at in 2021. Here's some storylines to watch this week.
Overall, the pass protection was better and has improved tremendously since early season debacles. Alvin Kamara was a big focal point of the game plan against the Bucs, but they did another nice job against him. New Orleans and New England are both struggling offensively, so the first team to get a touchdown or get to double-digits might just win the game.
Chris Olave is in for a major rebound in this game, and it was a bit puzzling to see Jimmy Graham play so much but not see a single target. This game plan doesn't have to spectacular. Just stick to things that work, create some confusion, execute, and put points up on the board. This has to be the game to get over 20 points.After a couple of good opening games, the Saints pass rush has fallen off in the past two.
