The team was also pretty beaten up, and emotionally dejected, following the Steelers debacle. It's not uncommon at all, for teams to have a letdown the week after a draining game like that one. That's not by any means an excuse, just a logical explanation.
Having a week off, getting some injured guys healthy, and perhaps a little introspection on the part of the coaching staff is just what this team needs. They have an opportunity to really make a statement versus the Saints, who will certainly be drained after hosting the Rams this week. On might say that they will be "ripe for the picking".
Doesn't seem to be the case for the Patriots. Usually when they have a letdown one week, god help the team they play the following week because its usually a blood bath.
