Saints Spotlight: Week 16 vs. Jets

This week, the New Orleans Saints host the 3-11 New York Jets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season—a game with significant draft-position implications. The player to watch for this matchup filled in seamlessly and impressed after being forced to step up in a depleted backfield: RB Audric Estime.

With Alvin Kamara missing the past three games while nursing a knee injury and Devin Neal exiting Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers early with a hamstring injury, former Denver Broncos fifth-round draft pick Audric Estime handled the majority of the workload the rest of the game—and delivered when it...

Our offense vs. their defense: New York Jets

On Sunday, the 4-10 New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets in a battle between teams jockeying for draft order position. While the season may not have gone as either envisioned, one is guaranteed to pick up a victory this weekend.

The Saints are coming off back-to-back wins, both versus NFC South opponents. Last weekend, Kellen Moore’s team earned a comeback 20-17 victory over the visiting Carolina Panthers. New York heads into this game after losing back-to-back contests. Most recently, they fell 48-20 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

New Orleans currently averages 296.9 yards and...

Tyler Shough analysis: Can he be the Saints’ quarterback of the future?

Tyler Shough analysis: Can he be the Saints’ quarterback of the future?

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who may have shown enough to help the franchise solve a quarterback problem that’s been evident since Drew Brees hung up his cleats.

Coming into the 2025 season, the New Orleans Saints were on a very short list of the teams dealing with the NFL’s worst/most undefined quarterback situations. Derek Carr’s medical retirement in May left the Saints...

SB Nation Reacts Survey: How confident are you that the Saints are headed in the right direction?

It’s Week 16 and the New Orleans Saints are on a 2-game winning streak after defeating the Carolina Panthers in the Superdome on Sunday. Despite their 4-10 record the Saints are the talk of the NFL right with Tyler Shough at the helm. Shough threw for 272 Yards and 1 touchdown, he currently has the most wins by rookie QBs in starts this season and was nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance against the Panthers.

This Sunday, the Saints will look to continue that run in their final home game of the season against the New...

Week 15: Saints vs. Panthers – Social media reactions

If the New Orleans Saints cannot go to the playoffs this season, then why should anyone else? After defeating the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, Kellen Moore’s group followed that up with a 20-17 come-from-behind win over the Panthers in Week 15’s game that would have resulted in Carolina taking the top spot in the division had the result been reversed. Next up, the Saints will jockey for a true winning streak as they host the New York Jets at the Caesars Superdome.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from the Saints win against the Panthers

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from the Saints win against the Panthers

The Good: Tyler Shough

The Saints rookie QB seemingly has his best career start with each successive week, as he improved his record as a starter to 3-3 with a second consecutive win against a team with a winning record (meaning that he now has the same amount as Derek Carr did with the Saints). Shough led an incredibly impressive 17 play 95-yard touchdown drive that burned nearly the entire second quarter. On the Saints final two drives facing a 7-point deficit, Shough drove the offense 78 yards for a touchdown and then got them into position for Charlie...

Overreactions: Saints vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints pulled off back-to-back upsets with a dramatic 20-17 win over the playoff-hopeful Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. Here’s the biggest overreaction from the matchup:

“Had Tyler Shough started from Week 1, the Saints would be in playoff contention.”

Tyler Shough put the football world on notice Sunday with arguably his best performance as a pro. He completed 24 of 32 passes (75%) for 272 yards and a touchdown, posting a 110.4 passer rating while adding eight carries for 32 yards and an 80.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus....

Ups and downs from Saints vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers 20-17 in a thrilling comeback win. The Saints won back-to-back games over NFC South opponents and have been disruptive in the race for the division. Kellen Moore has the offense playing at a level they have yet to reach this season, and they are building on it one game at a time. There were plenty of positives to come out of Sunday’s win, but they’ll need to clean up some things if they want to win out this season.

The Saints have put together back-to-back wins for the...
