The New England Patriots will place host to the New Orleans Saints this Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
This will be the first time the teams have met since 2017 when the Patriots beat the Saints 36-20.
Both teams enter this matchup 1-1 but have gotten there in very different ways. New Orleans blew out the Packers in Week 1 and crashed down to Earth in Week 2 against the Panthers. New England, on the other hand, had two rather low-scoring affairs that didn’t give many hints as to what type of team they are.
While many are looking past this game to get ready for next weekend’s exciting battle, that would be a mistake.
These are the reasons the Patriots should be concerned about their Week 3 game against the Saints.
