NEW ORLEANS —

Drake Maye passed for three touchdowns of 25 or more yards, including two to Kayshon Boutte, and the New England Patriots outlasted the New Orleans Saints 25-19 on Sunday.

Maye completed 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards without a turnover and also connected with DeMario Douglas for a 53-yard score as the Patriots (4-2) won for a third straight week.

Boutte, a Louisiana native who played collegiately at LSU, caught five passes for 93 yards.

The Saints (1-5) were driving for a possible go-ahead score in the fourth quarter when tight end Juwan Johnson was ruled on video review to have fumbled what initially was ruled a first-down catch across midfield.

Linebacker Christian Ellis was credited with the forced fumble and safety Craig Woodson recovered on the New England 49.
