Maybe beating the Super Bowl champions will be a Brees.
New England gets on the board first against New Orleans in the first few minutes, but the Patriots wanted more than Stephen Gostkowski's 35-yard field goal that caps their first possession.
After all, Wes Welker clone Julian Edelman's 40-yard punt return after the Saints' first series put the Pats just 19 yards from the visitors' end zone.
But a short run and a couple of Tom Brady incompletes - a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage and one that fell far from Kevin Faulk coming out of the backfield - made it three and ... well, eventually 3-0 New England.
Edelman puts on the moves again on New England's next series. He takes a quick pass on the right side from Brady, slips a tackle at the line of scrimmage, and races 21 yards to the Saints' 16.
The Pats soon punch a run in for a 10-0 lead. It holds up through the first 15 minutes of the exhibtion season.
