One last time. We’re going to close out the New Orleans Saints‘ 2025 regular season finale next Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the NFL announced kickoff time: Noon CT/1 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on FOX.
It’s a little disappointing that the Saints-Falcons matchup won’t have a more prominent window — these rivalry games are always intense — but it makes sense. They’re essentially fighting for the eighth and ninth overall picks in the 2026 draft (with the Falcons foolishly trading their pick to the Los Angeles Rams after going all in this year). There aren’t any playoff implications here, so it isn’t as big of a draw.
Still, we’ll be watching. The Saints have an opportunity to end their year with a five-game win streak. They can go into the offseason with a young franchise quarterback and a ton of momentum at his back. Let’s see if Tyler Shough can get this team to seven wins and improve to 6-3 as a starter.
