Tom Brady's heroics secure last-gasp win for New England Patriots over New Orleans Saints Tom Brady threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Kenbrell Thompkins with five seconds of the game remaining as the New England Patriots overcame the previously unbeaten New Orleans Saints 30-27 in dramatic fashion in Foxborough. The Saints had taken a 24-23 lead less than four minutes earlier when Drew Brees threw a 34-yard pass for Kenny Stills, who held off two New England defenders for his first career touchdown, and they stretched it with a field goal. The Patriots received the ball with 68 seconds to go and no timeouts. Brady, who had a streak of 52 straight games with a touchdown pass snapped last week, moved the ball from his 30 to the Saints' 26 yard line with three completions. Facing fourth down and four, Brady hit Austin Collie for a nine-yard gain that kept the game-winning drive going. After spiking the ball to stop the clock, Brady hit the rookie Thompkins in the back left corner of the end zone for the win. "Our defense made a great stop," Brady said. The guys made a bunch of plays there at the end. Guys made big-time catches. Brady totalled 269 yards on 25-of-43 passing for New England, who improved to 5-1, while the Saints dropped to the same mark. Bill Belichick collected his 210th win as a head coach, passing Chuck Noll for sole possession of fifth place on the NFL's all-time list . The result left the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs as the only undefeated teams in the NFL.
