Tom Brady threw for three touchdown passes and the beleaguered defense once again held on in the final seconds as the Patriots defeated the New Orleans Saints 24-17 Sunday afternoon before 68,756 at Gillette Stadium. The victory lifted New England to 6-4 and gave it a two-game lead over Buffalo in the AFC East race. But the mood was tempered somewhat by Coach Bill Belichick's post-game locker room announcement that his 86-year-old father, Steve, had died Saturday night.
