Patriots’ defense steadied after an early scare, bottling the Saints and limiting them to a field goal and 73 rushing yards despite missing Hawkins, White and Jennings. Top PFF marks went to Woods (88.1), Elliss (84.4), Jones (78.6), Spillane (77.2) and Woodson (77.1); Jahlani Tavai posted a bottom-five 32.0. Rattler hit Olave on a 53-yard opener, but New England locked in and sealed the win. Fantasy takeaway: the Patriots’ D remains a viable streamer, especially in run-leaning matchups, with depth capable of stepping in for injuries.
