The Saints scored five straight touchdowns in a 35-29 triumph over the Lions. Drew Brees tossed two touchdown passes to Tre'Quan Smith in the second quarter, 2:19 apart, to help the New Orleans Saints overcome a 14-point hole and defeat the Detroit Lions 35-29 on Sunday. It was the first time in franchise history that the Saints have come from behind to win by at least 10 points. Brees threw for 226 yards and three scores while also rushing for 44 yards on eight carries. He became the third quarterback in NFL history with at least 3,000 passing yards and 8,000 total yards. The other two are Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. In their first game under new head coach Matt Patricia, the Lions fell to 1-3 after losing to the previously winless Chicago Bears (0-4) earlier this year. They've now lost four consecutive games for the first time since 2009. This is also the first time since 2007 that the Lions have started 0-4. Here are the final results of the NFL team stats this week: New Orleans 30, Detroit 29.
