New Orleans Saints
In a move that is not so surprising, the New Orleans Saints have released kicker Blake Grupe, who has struggled tremendously this season, missing a total of eight kicks through 11 games including two on Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Falcons.
The 27-year-old was signed by Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2023, beating out veteran kicker Wil Lutz for the starting position.
In a corresponding move, the Saints are signing former LSU Tigers kicker Cade York, per a report by Nick Underhill. York was most recently with the Cincinnati Bengals. He will join kicker Charlie Smyth, who was...

The New Orleans Saints were embarrassed in front of their home crowd on Sunday, falling 24-10 to the rival Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season at Caesars Superdome. Here’s the biggest overreaction from this weekend’s matchup:
Is Kellen Moore officially on the hot seat?
Look, I completely understand the building frustration surrounding Kellen Moore throughout his disastrous first season as head coach in New Orleans. Considering the lack of initiative, emotion and growth he’s shown through eleven games—especially after the bye week—it’s becoming increasingly hard to defend Moore.
That said, like I mentioned following the Saints’...

The New Orleans Saints were back from their bye week with a home tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a quick look back on all the action from Sunday.
The visitors were instantly forced to punt after a three-and-out, but had the ball back just as quickly after a Saints fumble on their second play.
Chase Young soon sacked Kirk Cousins on third down, but Atlanta had started in field goal range. Zane Gonzalez’s 56-yarder was good.
Mason Tipton then set up the Saints with an even shorter field of their own, returning the kickoff for 75...

Not a whole lot went well for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, but if anything was better than the others it was the defense. They forced five punts, sacked Kirk Cousins three times, and held Atlanta to 3/12 on 3rd down. The play of the day for the defense was a pick 6 by safety Justin Reid on what was his first interception as a Saint. The defense kept it a one score game for most of the afternoon until they let Darnell Mooney get behind them for a 49-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter...

Sunday’s loss was a microcosm of a 2-9 season that has gone off the rails. The Saints didn’t just lose to a division rival, they lost because they couldn’t execute the basics and nothing is more basic in the modern NFL than a kicker hitting from inside 50 yards indoors.
The Grupe Error
Blake Grupe’s performance against Atlanta was the final nail in a coffin that has been being built since September. Missing from 38 and 47 yards in a game where points were at a premium is inexcusable. In a dome. At home. Against a bitter rival.
Grupe has...

It’s already Week 13 in the NFL and the New Orleans Saints are now 2-9 on the season after losing 24-10 to their archrivals, the Atlanta Falcons.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins will come into this matchup sitting at 4-7 and fresh off of a bye week.
Kickoff is at 12 pm CT at Hard Rock Stadium.

The New Orleans Saints host the Atlanta Falcons here in Week 12. The Falcons are sitting in third place in the NFC South while the Saints are unfortunately sitting in last place, but all that could flip with a Saints win. The familiarity of divisional play, paired with no love lost between these bitter arch-rivals, should make for a very entertaining game.
