Saints QB Taysom Hill had two TD passes, but was intercepted four times in the loss.
In the Monday Night Football Game, the New England Patriots defeated the host Buffalo Bills, 14-10 in terrible weather conditions in Buffalo.

The Bills (7-5) got back into it on QB Josh Allen's touchdown pass to make it 8-7.
