An opportunity to change the narrative hangs in the balance for the New England Patriots in Sunday’s Week 5 meeting with the New Orleans Saints.
Some would consider this a must-win game for the Patriots with the team sitting at 1-3 and barely a pulse in an AFC East division dominated by the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.
In many ways, a win over the Saints would start the resuscitation process after the Patriots were pounded in the dirt by the Dallas Cowboys in a 38-3 blowout loss last week.
