The New Orleans Saints travel to take on the Green Bay Packers at 7:15 p.m. on Monday night at Lambeau Field. You can follow here for the score and live updates.

Earlier this week, Darren Rizzi gave the game plan to replace Alvin Kamara. He mentioned going to a committee approach and listed Kendre Miller, Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims as the players who we’d see in the backfield for the New Orleans Saints.

Notice anyone missing? Rizzi didn’t mention newly-acquired running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Failing to mention him was the first sign the Saints didn’t plan on bringing Edwards-Helaire up to the active roster this week.

New Orleans isn’t bringing any players up from the practice squad against the Green Bay Packers.

Another mid-season...

Last week, Chase Young had the opportunity to play against the team that drafted him, the Washington Commanders. The defensive end answered the call and put up his highest sacks total as a Saint. It’s Marquez Valdez-Scantling’s turn on Monday Night Football. Can he put up a similar performance to Young against his first team?

Valdes-Scantling had just two catches for 25 yards when the Kansas City Chiefs played at Lambeau Field last year. The New Orleans Saints deploy Valdes-Scantling in a much more prominent role than he was used in Kansas City, however.

Alvin Kamara’s groin injury takes...

The New Orleans Saints have decided to go away from their black jersey black pants combo for something a little different ahead of their Week 16 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. They will opt for their color rush uniforms, however this time they will go with the traditional gold helmet instead of the newer black helmet that they had phased in recently.

To be frank, the white and gold with the gold helmet instead of the black helmet with slight gold colorations makes alot more sense and is significantly more visually appealing in my eyes, and for what could be a snow game, could make for some intriguing mind games. White jerseys in snow is a hit or miss concept, as it could make the quarterback’s life difficult from either team, so we will see how that plays out.

With the color rush the Saints are 9-10 all-time, their second-worst record of any combo, so we will see if they can manage to turn things around on Monday Night Football and break even with the relatively new combination.

Here is the record for each Saints jersey combination since 2006:

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur praised Jordan Love for being, “one of the best I’ve ever been around at avoiding sacks and negative plays.” As the New Orleans Saints visit the Packers for Monday Night Football, the Saints must do what most have failed to do, take down Love consistently.

If New Orleans can get a few sacks on Love, it would help to take away the run game on that set of downs. Love and his band of wide receivers are extremely talented, but Josh Jacobs is the biggest threat to the Saints defense.

The Saints have the sixth-worst rushing defense in the NFL, and they...

Can the New Orleans Saints steal a win from the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football? That’s the question our staff writers pondered in making their picks for this week’s final score and bold predictions.

Here’s how we see this one playing out:

The New Orleans Saints have been eliminated from the playoffs. By way of the Atlanta Falcons win over the New York Giants, the Saints playoff hopes are now over. Despite winning three of their last five games, the Saints dug themselves too deep a hole to come out of in the middle of the season with their seven-game losing streak. All they have left to play for is pride and to see what they have from young players like Spencer Rattler, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Kendre Miller, all of whom will start on Monday.

Despite also being third in their division like the Saints are, the Green Bay...
