It’s Monday so you know what that means, Monday Night Football. This week's matchup is an AFC showdown between the Cleveland Browns and the Denver Broncos. The Broncos get the night started with the first touchdown, as Javonte Williams scores a rushing touchdown to give the Broncos an early 7-0 lead. The Browns strike back quickly though, as Jamies Winston hits David Njoku for an 8-yard touchdown reception to tie the game 7-7 at the end the first quarter. The second quarter was hectic, really because we got vintage Jameis Winston, as he throws a 71-yard pick six to really break the game...

The New Orleans Saints will head into Week 14 on the road to face the New York Giants in MetLife Stadium. The Saints are hoping to bounce back after a loss to Los Angeles Rams in the Caesars Superdome on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Giants are on a 7-game losing streak.

On paper, this should be an easy win for the Saints but nothing about this season has been easy. Players have been plagued by injuries after injuries, week after week. The latest being Tayson Hill, Tyrann Mathieu and Nick Saldiveri.

As Darren Rizzi said after the game on Sunday evening, there are 5 games left to play. This team...

Last week, 12 games were decided by seven-or-fewer points, tied for the most in a single week in NFL history while the first two teams clinched a trip to the postseason.

Who is going to be coaching the New Orleans Saints in 2025? That’s a question we can’t yet answer, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know who could be an option. While venerable Super Bowl winners like Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll are expected to look for work, the Saints haven’t shown much interest in candidates like them before, and you have to wonder how eager they would be to hand off much power to general manager Mickey Loomis. A coach like Jon Gruden comes with too much baggage even if he’s been around the team before.

So we’re taking stock of the coaches who are either less-accomplished or more-ambitious than those guys. Someone needs to replace Dennis Allen. They just might be on this list:

There’s a lot you could say about the New Orleans Saints’ loss tot he Los Angeles Rams last week. It was another missed opportunity to right the ship and salvage a season some would say has already been lost. It was a waste of a great effort by Cameron Jordan and the defense, who pitched a rare shutout in the first half. It was something of a disaster as star playmakers like Taysom Hill went down with season-ending injuries. And there were elements of encouragement when backup wide receivers like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kevin Austin Jr., and Dante Pettis came through in clutch moments...

Jared Verse absolutely wrecked the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. It was the rookie edge rusher who hit Derek Carr’s arm as he was throwing to win the game for the Los Angeles Rams.

One person he didn’t run through was fellow rookie Taliese Fuaga. Ironically, on that game winning play Fuaga was right there, but Verse rushed against tight end Foster Moreau. Credit to Los Angeles for how they schemed that pressure.

The Fuaga versus Verse was the battle we wanted to see, and both rookies lived up to the billing. Verse registered six pressures on the day but Fuaga didn’t allow a pressure the...

Sacks aren’t everything for a defensive tackle, but there’s a lot to be said for leading the league in them. And Bryan Bresee is on track to do just that. The New Orleans Saints’ second-year pro is up to 6.5 sacks through 12 games, a big improvement over his rookie numbers (4.5 in 17 games). That ranks second-most in his position group.

So who’s on top? That would be New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence, with 9.0 sacks in 12 games for himself. But Lawrence’s season has ended on injured reserve after he suffered a dislocated elbow. He isn’t expected back in 2024, which sets a clear goal...

The Atlanta Falcons’ loss to the Los Angeles Chargers extends their losing streak to three games. This now gives every member of the NFC South a three-game losing streak at some point in the season. The division is a mess from top to bottom — just check the latest standings.

No other division has achieved this in 2024. Matter of fact, there are five divisions with at least one team that has no more than three losses. The NFC North has three of them.

Until this week, the New Orleans Saints had owned the longest losing streak of the season. The Las Vegas Raiders took the mantle with their...

The New Orleans Saints were outed by the Los Angeles Rams 21-14 on Sunday afternoon, as their two-game win streak to open Darren Rizzi’s tenure as interim head coach came to an unfortunate end.

This week’s breakout player stepped up for New Orleans while still severely short-handed at receiver. He’s taken advantage of his opportunity the past couple of weeks and is making a strong case for a roster spot for the remainder of this season and potentially next season as well. The breakout player from the Saints’ Week 13 loss to the Rams is WR Kevin Austin Jr.

Austin posted a 72.7 overall...

Our Football Power Index (FPI) projects the 2025 NFL draft order for Round 1. Which teams have the best odds to pick early after Week 13?

With the start of the 2025 Pro Bowl voting starting officially just week ago, we have received our first update on the current leaders of each position group in the league. You can cast your vote here.

As the New Orleans Saints have fallen apart with many injuries sustained over the course of the year, it was highly unlikely that they’d have any Pro Bowl players let alone a top vote-getter.

Turns out, that just might not be the case. Undrafted rookie punter Matthew Hayball currently leads the NFC in Pro Bowl votes at his position. Quite a pleasant surprise, isn’t it?

For those who may...

The New Orleans Saints are still awaiting the New York Giants decision on which quarterback they will be playing during their Week 14 matchup.

It felt like a longtime coming, but the Giants finally moved on from Daniel Jones a couple of weeks ago. Since then, both Drew Lock and Tommy Devito got their chances to start games. The results were eerily similar as New York also lost both games. Lock mostly got the start due to DeVito dealing with a forearm injury. Neither quarterback should scare this Saints defense, but knowing who they are facing would certainly help a game plan.

If DeVito...

Coming off their bye week, the New Orleans Saints weren’t able to capitalize on their recent two-game win streak, suffering their first loss under interim head coach Darren Rizzi after falling to the Los Angeles Rams 21-14 on Sunday in the Superdome.

New Orleans came out fighting, and with the Atlanta Falcons collapsing to the Los Angeles Chargers at home and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers heading to overtime with the Carolina Panthers, the NFC South appeared to be wide open during a season that seemed long lost for the Saints. However, a combination of injuries and poor execution wiped out a...

The New Orleans Saints got expected bad news on Monday as Taysom Hill will miss the remainder of the 2024 season with a torn ACL among other damage in his knee.

In a game where it felt like the Black and Gold were truly one play away from winning, they couldn’t find that play.

From some key touchdown strikes to big plays on defense, there were some positives to take away. Lets break down either side.
