FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Too bad all those Patriots fans who left Gillette Stadium in disgust when their team was down didnt wait a minute. Because thats all Tom Brady needed. Fans left in a half-empty stadium roared when the two-time NFL MVP threw the winning touchdown pass with 5 seconds left. They beat the traffic while the Patriots were beating the Saints, 30-27. Coming off one of his worst games, Brady threw the decisive 17-yard pass to rookie free agent Kenbrell Thompkins, knocking New Orleans from the unbeaten ranks Sunday. "Guys made big-time catches," Brady said. "It was just a great game." Slowly but steadily, new pass catchers have made their mark after the Patriots lost their top five receivers from last seasons highest-scoring NFL team. Now hes throwing to Thompkins, Aaron Dobson, Danny Amendola and Austin Collie. "I have confidence in those guys," Brady said. "Were certainly not perfect out there. Were definitely just grinding." Many fans had abandoned hope and left Gillette Stadium by the time the Patriots it out. But at Fenway Park, some 30 miles away, a big cheer went up at Game 2 of the AL championship series between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers when Thompkins jumped for the winning pass. "Coach Bill said that it might come down to the final seconds," Thompkins said. "You had to stick with the system. We just had to go out there and fight to the finish." The Saints (5-1) had taken a 24-23 lead with 3:29 remaining on Drew Brees 34-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills and the extra point, but couldnt put away New England. The Patriots (5-1) survived an interception by Keenan Lewis on their first snap after Garrett Hartleys 39-yard field goal made it 27-23. Brady started the winning 70-yard drive, with no timeouts, with completions of 23 yards to Julian Edelman, 15 to Collie and 6 to Dobson for a first down at the Saints 26. But he threw two incompletions before connecting with Collie for a 9-yard gain on fourth down and a first down at the 17. He spiked the ball to stop the clock, then sent his receivers deep. "We had everybody going to the end zone and (Thompkins) kind of snuck into the corner and I put it up there for him and he came down and made a great catch," Brady said. Thompkins outfought cornerback Jabari Greer in the left side of the end zone. "Thats something that youll replay in your mind for a long time," Greer said. "We fought hard, were resilient, and it happens like that. For it to happen to me, Ill just have to bear the burden for this week." The Patriots were headed for their second straight loss one week after the Cincinnati Bengals beat them 13-6. Bradys streak of 52 regular-season games with at least one touchdown pass ended in that defeat; Brees holds the NFL record with 54. Brady completed 25 of 43 passes for 269 yards with one touchdown and one interception. It was the 38th time hed led the Patriots to victory after trailing or being tied in the fourth quarter. One week earlier, he was just 18 for 38 for 197 yards and a passer rating of 52.2 New England continued the strong defence its played all year by holding star tight end Jimmy Graham without a catch for the first time in 46 games, dating back to the middle of his rookie season in 2010. He limped off the field after Kyle Arrington intercepted a pass intended for him, but returned. "The one thing they do a good job with is they disrupt you at the line of scrimmage really better than anyone," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "They do a really good job of getting hands on receivers and tight ends." Add Brees: "This ones difficult because you certainly felt like you had a chance. Breed completed 17 of 36 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Stevan Ridley ran for two touchdowns for a 17-7 halftime lead. In the first half, the Patriots controlled the ball against New Orleans, which entered the game leading the NFL in time of possession. The Patriots scored on drives of 80, 66 and 60 yards one week after having just one drive of more than 35 yards in Cincinnati. The Saints tied it by scoring on their first two possessions of the second half: a 28-yard field goal by Hartley and a 3-yard run by Khiry Robinson. New England took a 3-0 lead on Stephen Gostkowskis 35-yard field goal on the first series of the game. New Orleans took its first lead on Brees 3-yard pass to Travaris Cadet, the first run or reception of the season by the running back. Then Ridley scored twice in a span of six minutes in the second quarter on runs of 1 and 4 yards. On the second touchdown drive, Brady completed his last six passes for 64 yards. But he saved his best for last. "What more can you ask out of your leader?" Ridley said. "He put the team on his back and went out there and made the plays we needed to make."

Seven different Stars scored in a 7-3 victory over the Nashville Predators. Tyler Seguin or Jamie Benn was not among them. Each player had an assist. Colton Sceviour, Trevor Daley and Ryan Garbutt each had a goal and an assist. Alex Goligoski had three assists, tying his career high. Going into the game, Seguin had 75 points and Benn 69. Dallas third-highest scorer was Goligoski, with 33. Vernon Fiddler, whose first-period goal was his fifth this season, said: "Its nice to get some depth scoring. At the end of the day, weve got to continue to do that. The big guns need some help with that, and it takes a little bit of pressure off of them." Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen allowed three goals on 28 shots. Pekka Rinne had 22 saves. After Nashville pulled within 5-3 in the third period on Eric Nystroms goal, Valeri Nichushkin and Cody Eakin scored 9 seconds apart for a 7-3 edge. Nichushkins unassisted goal went off Predators defenceman Shea Webers stick. "We tipped two in our own net," Weber said. "They got one off the skate, and then they scored off the rush. They got a little bit of everything, and it just wasnt good enough for us." Thats why Nashville coach Barry Trotz didnt consider pulling Rinne. "Not really, even when they got six and seven. Six and seven were deflected. There was nothing you could do about it." Stars coach Lindy Ruff, who preaches putting pucks on the net, was pleased about the four goals that deflected off teammates sticks or bodies. "We got some good breaks. We had a couple put in by their defencemen. We got enough pucks going to the net, and got rewarded for it." Goals by Garbutt and Fiddler gave the Stars a 2-0 lead after one period. Sceviour, Alex Chiasson and Daley scored in the second period that ended with a 5-2 advantage for Dallas. The Predators Patric Hornqvist and Michael Del Zotto also scored in the second. The victory improved Dallas playoff hopes. The Stars have 81 points -- three behind Phoenix, which has the Western Conferences last playoff position. The Stars have nine games remaining, including a game Saturday at St. Louis. Phoenix has eight to play. The game started well for the Stars against Nashville, which was coming off a 6-1 win over Buffalo on Thursday.dddddddddddd "They looked fresh," Trotz said. "They jumped on us. I dont know how many pucks we just got it to the red line and just turned it over and they transitioned on us, and its hard to play that way. Youre spending your energy in the wrong area." Garbutt gave Dallas a 1-0 lead when he tipped Antoine Roussels pass from the right corner past Rinne. The Stars took a 2-0 lead on a 2-on-1 rush at 14:05 of the first. As a defender slid to the ice attempting to block a shot, Sceviour passed across to Fiddler on the right side, and he drilled a snap shot into the net. Dallas outshot the Predators 9-5 in the first period. Nashvilles best chance to score came on the only shot during the power play, when Craig Smiths shot from the top of the left circle went off Lehtonens pads. Goligoski and Daley, Fridays starting defensive pair, each finished with plus-5 ratings. Ruff said: "Thats a good night when youre plus-5 on the score sheet. I think youve seen by ice times these last 30-40 games how much we think of that pair and how much difference they can make. They made some real good plays for us." NOTES: The last time seven Stars scored in the same game was 5 years ago. ... Garbutts first-period goal was his third in two games and his 15th this season. Seguin and Benn are the only Stars with more than 15. ... Seguin had an assist, stretching his consecutive-game scoring streak to 11 games (seven goals, 11 assists).
