In three games between the Saints and Patriots from 2009 to 2017, Drew Brees and Tom Brady were the focal points whenever the teams shared the field. Including Brees’ time with the Chargers, the matchup between the future Hall of Fame quarterbacks had eight chapters. It ended last season when a 43-year-old Brady sent his 42-year-old counterpart into retirement after Brady’s Buccaneers eliminated the Saints from the playoffs. This week, the Saints have been focused on better pre-snap communication at the line of scrimmage. PROMISING DEBUTAfter being deactivated in Week 1, Saints first-round draft choice Payton Turner finally made his NFL debut in Week 2.
