The New Orleans Saints are still unbeaten and have joined the Indianapolis Colts in making NFL history.

Drew Brees threw for a season-high 371 yards and five touchdown passes, and the Saints beat the New England Patriots 38-17.

Brees threw touchdown passes to five different players - Pierre Thomas, Devery Henderson, Robert Meachem, Darnell Dinkins and Marques Colston - as the Saints joined the Colts at 11-0, the first time two teams have opened with that many wins in the same season.

Tom Brady, returning to the Louisiana Superdome for the first time since leading the Patriots to their first Super Bowl title in 2002, won't have many fond memories of this game. He was intercepted twice, sacked once, hit as he threw several times and was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter with New Orleans leading by three TDs.
