New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints wrapped up their second practice ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Saints only listed one player absent, with veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux getting a rest day. Running back Alvin Kamara, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury, returned and was a limited participant. Wide receiver Chris Olave and cornerback Alontae Taylor both returned as full participants after being limited on Wednesday.
The Bears have quite a few names on their injury report. Star defensive lineman Grady Jarrett remained absent as he works back from a knee injury, while wide receiver DJ...

Back to the loss column
“Spencer Rattler again did a lot of good things, but the Saints couldn’t secure a second straight win because they couldn’t finish drives, which has been a sore spot all season. They went 1-for-2 in the red zone on Sunday to bring their season conversion rate to 8-for-19. Against the Patriots, they settled for four field goals, including one inside the red zone and two just outside of it. That, along with Juwan Johnson losing a critical fumble late, was enough to put the game out of reach. [Chris...

The New Orleans Saints have lost yet again, this time falling to the New England Patriots. They now sit at 1-5, which is not the worst record in the NFL thanks to the winless Jets, but still possibly the worst place you can be at this point in the season. Here are how the Saints and their division rivals stack up against the teams with the top 10 Super Bowl odds headed into Week 7 of the season, courtesy of Fanduel Sportsbook:
T-32. New Orleans Saints: +40000 (Last week’s odds: +40000) (Last week’s ranking: T-32)

The New Orleans Saints hit the road to face the Chicago Bears in Week 7. This game marks the first time the Saints and former Head Coach/current Bears Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen will face each other since the latter’s firing last season. There are more than a few storylines to follow in this game and despite the Saints record, this game should be worth watching. The Saints may be underdogs in the “Second City” but they don’t intend on coming in second in this game.
Now let’s take a look at this and all of the matchups in Week 7....

Spencer Rattler and the New Orleans Saints’ offense took a step back last week versus the New England Patriots. Rather than maintain their winning momentum from the recent victory against the New York Giants, they fell to a dismal 1-5 and were again held to under 20 points. In each of the Saints’ losses this season, the common denominator has been getting limited to 20 or fewer. During New Orleans’ lone win in the record, they managed to score 26 points.
While it may not be the worst in the league, New Orleans is one of only five offenses averaging...

Can the Saints extend their overall lead against the Bears?
The trade deadline is close.
After another dissapointing game for Juwan Johnson, the contract extension is looking worse and worse.

Week 6 of the 2025 season saw the New Orleans Saints back home in the dome to take on the New England Patriots who were fresh off a triumphant victory over the Buffalo Bills. This game was one that despite the Saints being the underdog, they could possibly win if all the pieces came together, unfortunately they were unable to overcome their red zone struggles and pass rush issues, falling to the Pats 25-19 and 1-5 on the season.
The Saints will now head up to the Windy City to face a Chicago Bears team playing on a short week...

The Bucs have done it; they have won a game by more than one score. This was a big matchup between two 4-1 teams, with the 49ers traveling to Tampa Bay. This game was close, but two turnovers from San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones seemed to be the difference, and Baker Mayfield took advantage of this. He had an extremely impressive game with many of his top passing options unavailable. For each edition so far of State of the NFCS, I have been looking for the Bucs to really take advantage of opportunities and have...

The New Orleans Saints are back on the road this week as they travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears. Here’s a preview of what either result could mean for the Saints
Three of the Saints’ five defeats this season have come by a touchdown or less. They’ve proven that they can both remain competitive and even win games, and a victory against the Bears would continue that trend.
Of course, it’s no easy feat. Chicago sits 3-2 after overcoming the Commanders on Monday Night Football, and enters the game as...

This feels like it won’t be the last for this player.
The Saints go with tackle again… but Kelvin Banks is not the selection.
Could this mean more snaps in the future?
