Drake Maye sparked New England with three long TD passes, two to Kayshon Boutte, plus a 53-yard strike to DeMario Douglas in a 25-19 win over New Orleans. Maye finished 18-of-26 for 261 yards with no turnovers, and New England rode a sharp start to a three-game win streak as the defense limited the Saints’ ground game to 73 yards. Boutte totaled 93 receiving yards on five catches, while New Orleans managed field goals and a late surge that fell short after a fumble negated a potential go-ahead drive.

Spencer Rattler went 20-of-26 for 227 yards with no turnovers for the Saints, but the offense stalled in the red zone. Taysom Hill scored the lone Saints TD on a 1-yard run and Blake Grupe added four field goals, yet untimely drops by Chris Olave and a critical fumble sealed the Saints’ fate. NE improves to 4-2; NO drops to 1-5, with NE headed to Tennessee and NO hosting Chicago next.
