Saints Vs. Patriots: Drew Brees Shreds New England Defense, Saints Stay Undefeated.

Drew Brees and the unbeaten Saints left Tom Brady in the dust, zipping up and down the field in a dominant romp over the New England Patriots.

Brees threw for a season-high 371 yards and five touchdowns, carving up coach Bill Belichick’s defense like few quarterbacks ever have in New Orleans’ 38-17 victory Monday night.

By harassing Brady all game and routing one of the NFL’s top powers, the Saints joined the Indianapolis Colts at 11-0 – the first time two NFL teams have opened with that many consecutive wins in the same season.

“It only counts for one win on the stat sheet, but emotionally, those types of wins can mean a little more,” Brees said. “Anytime you can win, and win that way, it builds confidence for you.”

The convincing victory left little doubt about New Orleans’ credentials as the Saints try to match the Patriots’ 16-0 regular-season mark in 2007. New England remains the only team to go undefeated in a 16-game regular season – for now.

Brees threw touchdown passes to five different players: Pierre Thomas, Devery Henderson, Robert Meachem, Darnell Dinkins and Marques Colston. In doing so, the Pro Bowl quarterback kept New Orleans on pace to narrowly eclipse New England’s single-season scoring record of 589 points set in 2007.

It was the second time the Patriots (7-4) lost to an unbeaten team on the road in three weeks. Unlike in Indianapolis, there was no drama at the end this time, only thunderous chants of, “Who dat say they gonna beat them Saints?”

“There’s obviously a big gap between us,” Brady said. “It wasn’t nearly as competitive as we all were expecting.” More
