Final: New England 27, New Orleans 24

Someone tell New Orleans this is an exhibition game! Trailing 24-21, the Saints on fourth and goal inside the New England 10 go for the tie as they would in the regular season and kick a field goal with 2:40 remaining to tie it at 24-24.
But with overtime threatening, Robinson connects with Darnell Jenkins for a 52-yard gainer to the Saints' 12. Gostkowski's boots a 28-yard field goal with 53 seconds to go and the Pats after a big hit by rookie safety Sergio Brown and a pick of the ensuing loose ball by linebacker Eric Alexander hold on for a 27-24 win.
