Which team will fix their problems and get on track? Both will be due for a noticeable improvement in the coming weeks. Often these kinds of games, go right down to the wire just like the 2013 matchup between these two teams did.

This week, however, the Saints match up well with some of the best special teams in the league. Special battle: Most weeks the Patriots have a decided advantage on special teams where their consistency and value placed on the third phase can often help them pull out close wins.

If Brown is able to return it will be a big boost, but if not they'll need the right tackle fill-in and the rest of the line to give Mac Jones the time he needs to help the offense make strides. This week, against a tenacious Saints defense, the offensive line will need their best game.

Give us some, Jameis: If the Patriots can slow down Kamara it should lead to positive results against Jameis Winston, who looked like a new quarterback for much of the summer and into Week 1.He plays on all three downs, so he's always in there." He's a guy you got to keep your eye on at all times. Get him the ball a lot of different ways, and they do, and he produces with it. "He does everything well," said Bill Belichick of Kamara this week.

Especially the run defense will have to be on point. In many ways, Kamara is exactly the kind of test the Patriots defense needs, facing a player that will force them to fix some of the areas that have been vulnerable through two games. He's the kind of balanced back that is a nightmare on any down and the Patriots must have an extensive plan to deal with him no matter what the situation is. Kamara, Kamara, Kamara: It doesn't take a football PhD to see what Alvin Kamara means to the Saints offense.
