FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Sometimes the price of victory is high in the NFL.
On Sunday afternoon in the New England Patriots' dramatic, come-from-behind, last-second 30-27 victory over the previously unbeaten Saints, the cost came in the form of injuries to key players such as No. 1 cornerback Aqib Talib (hip), Pro Bowl linebacker Jerod Mayo (shoulder), top receiver Danny Amendola (head) and starting right guard Dan Connolly (head).
All four players failed to finish the contest, watching like the few fans remaining at Gillette Stadium as Tom Brady orchestrated the 38th victory of his career when either trailing or tied in the fourth quarter. Brady tossed a game-winning, 17-yard touchdown pass to rookie Kenbrell Thompkins with five seconds to play.

The victory was a solid bounce-back effort after a lackluster loss a week earlier in Cincinnati in which Brady failed to a throw a touchdown pass for the first time in 52 games. New England's scoring output in the 13-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals was its lowest since 2006.
