Two touchdowns from Stevan Ridley has sent the New England Patriots into half time with a 10-point lead over the New Orleans Saints.
Stephen Gostkowski kicked the Pats ahead in the first quarter, but they fell behind when Drew Brees picked out Travaris Cadet for a touchdown.
A nice play allowed Ridley to dart over the line from a yard, before he rushed four yards to establish a 17-7 lead.
The Pats were excellent defensively in the first half and will need to keep up their effort as the Saints look to keep their unbeaten record going.
