The New Orleans Saints fell short in their pursuit of the first winning streak of the year after losing to the New England Patriots in a close battle. The score was close and reflective of how close these two teams played on Sunday, but the Patriots were clearly the better team through the majority of the game.
The Saints kicked field goals, and the Patriots scored touchdowns. If you're looking for the difference in the game, it can easily be pointed to that difference early in the game. It sounds cliche and simple, but cliches are heavily used for a reason.
