New England gets the ball first after halftime and Edelman is still at it. He takes a pass on third and five for a 12-yard gainer to the New Orleans 3 before Maroney eventually scores from a yard out.
But the 23-7 lead is again back to 10 when Larry Beavers returns the ensuing kickoff 97 weaving yards for a touchdown.
Beavers has one pro season on his resume after a college career at Wesley. Which is where?
Delaware! The Wolverines are ranked No. 3 preseason. In Division III.
Edelman takes a seat on the bench next to Brady as the Patriots go nowhere on their next series.
New Orleans then gobbles up 68 yards in four plays to pull within 24-21 midway through the third quarter.
New England's also got a nice young return guy in Devin McCourty, a rookie cornerback from Rutgers. He takes the ensuing kickoff 50 yards. McCourty returned the second-half kickoff for a longer gainer as well.
Zac Robinson, a rookie from Oklahoma State, becomes New England's third quarterback. And the third quarter ends with New England on top 24-21.
