Saints remain perfect as they roll Patriots in Monday Night Showdown

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints handled the New England Patriots with ease in the most anticipated Monday Night match-up of the season.

Brees completed 78% of his passes for 371 yards and threw five touchdowns to five different receivers in a 38-17 victory at the Louisiana Superdome. The win improved New Orleans to 11-0 on the season.

Brady and the Patriots offense were stymied by the Saints defense after their opening scoring drive. Brady finished with his second worst QB rating and failed to score a touchdown in a game for the second time this season. His only worst performance came at the Jets in week two.

Pressuring Brady was key for the New Orleans front seven and they provided plenty of it to slow down the high powered Patriots attack. Randy Moss was limited to just three catches for 67 yards in the loss. New England drops to 7-4 on the season and 0-4 in road games.
