Tom Brady has said that the New England Patriots need to score more points on offense in order to win games.

The AFC East side lost for the first time this season last weekend, converting just two field goals against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The quarterback told reporters: "Our job is to go out there and score, so we're not doing a great job of that. The execution has to be a lot better. That's what we're working on. We're trying to improve in all areas. It's frustrating when we don't score, but we're going to try and do better this weekend.

"I just want us to score points, so whatever it takes to score points, that's what matters. I think you let your emotions get into it and feelings and so forth, I mean realistically, you have to come up with a plan.

"We have to figure out to score points. I said after the game, we're not going to win many games scoring six points. So, if we score six points this weekend we probably won't win. We've got to do a lot better than that. "

The Patriots play the unbeaten New Orleans Saints this weekend.
