The parents at Benjamin Franklin High School got the drive started.

Drew Brees provided the big plays to take it down into the red zone.

With the fundraising muscle of the Brees Dream Foundation, the Saints and the NFL behind the effort, Benjamin Franklin held a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday to celebrate the start of a $545,000 renovation of the locker rooms, the construction of a concession stand and a press box at the football field, as well as further upgrades to the Benjamin Franklin athletic facilities, including permanent lighting.

Benjamin Franklin has raised $485,000 toward the project already and expects to begin construction as soon as June 1, assistant principal Donald Jackson said.

The New Orleans Saints finally won their first game since Week 2 and now look to start another winning streak. The chance to start that streak begins this week against the Cleveland Browns. After unfortunately losing seven-consecutive games, the Saints also lost Dennis Allen as head coach and gained Darren Rizzi as his interim replacement. The move immediately paid dividends, as the Saints finally snapped the losing streak thanks to the change.

The biggest storyline in this game is the return of Jameis Winston to New Orleans. Although he left the franchise via free agency in the...

Saints can't allow Nick Chubb to have a bounce-back performance

This can’t be the game Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb returns to form, not if the New Orleans Saints want to win a second consecutive week.

Prior to being injured at the beginning of the 2023 season, Chubb was one of the best running backs in the league. There was hopes he could help add a spark to the Cleveland Browns offense upon his return. That simply didn’t happen.

Chubb’s best game was against Baltimore, where he averaged 3.2 yards per carry and ended with 52 yards.

Struggles should have been expected, and surpassing those expectations should have been a welcomed...

Saints center Erik McCoy could return sooner rather than later

Erik McCoy, the New Orleans Saints' center, could return to the field soon after being on injured reserve for the past few weeks.

McCoy, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl last season, would be a huge return for the Saints. On Wednesday, head coach Darren Rizzi said that McCoy is one of the more underrated offensive linemen in the NFL. He also said that his loss was a blow to the offense.

“You look at his consistency and the high level that he’s played at; it's a big deal,” Rizzi said. “Number two is his leadership. He’s kind of a leader by example, not a real vocal guy, but I got a...

NFL Power Rankings roundup: Saints rise up after win over Falcons

The New Orleans Saints are finally back to the right side of the win column, snapping a seven-game losing streak with their 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

This marks the beginning of the Darren Rizzi era, clearly starting off on a high note after the departure of Dennis Allen. With this, the Saints have gone from being one of the lowliest, if not the lowliest ranked teams for major media outlets, to slightly higher in the rankings.

The jury is still out on whether this was a fluke for the Saints to have beaten one of the hottest teams in the nation, or if it truly is the start...

Our offense vs. their defense: Cleveland Browns

The New Orleans Saints are coming off their first win in nearly two months and will host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have three or fewer wins through nine games (10 for the Saints because they haven’t had their bye), so this game will do more for determining a top draft pick than any playoff implications.

After firing Dennis Allen a week ago, the entire Saints offense looked rejuvenated. Derek Carr looked good with 270 yards and two scores, Alvin Kamara had another 100+ yard game and Marques Valdez-Scantling did his best Randy Moss impression with a three-catch...
