The New Orleans Saints will attempt to keep their unbeaten record in tact today when they go on the road to the New England Patriots, who themselves only just suffered their first defeat last week.

The game will pit two of the league's best teams against one another and the result should be a feast of world class football that every NFL fan should enjoy. The game will start at 4.25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Fox network, or alternatively a live stream can be watched online – free for subscribers of the Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket – via the link provided below.

The Saints controlled the game last week in their 26-18 win over the Chicago Bears. They dictated the game when they had the ball, and upset the Bears' offense with their aggressive defense.

The balance the New Orleans team has managed to achieve on both sides of the ball has been the foundation for their excellent form this season, and they will prove a stern test for the Patriots who have their own postseason hopes themselves.

The Patriots meanwhile lost for the first time last week as their offense was completely blunted by Cincinnati. That 6-13 loss will have sent the offensive coaches back to the drawing board and they will have been working all week on ensuring they can make more penetration this week against a powerful Saints defense.
