4 big takeaways from Patriots’ 34-0 shutout loss to Saints

What a waste of a Sunday afternoon.

After their 38-3 destruction at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys last weekend, the New England Patriots took on the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The game got away from the Patriots just about as quickly as it began. The Saints scored two quick touchdowns to open up the first quarter, and New England just couldn’t muster any sort of offensive attack to match them.

The 34-0 shutout loss marked New England’s first time suffering back-to-back 30-plus point losses since 1970, the team’s first season in the NFL.
