Saints power ranking entering Week 8

NFL.com – 28 (-3)

“This was the first game this season where I think you can say Spencer Rattler truly didn’t play well. His four turnovers directly led to a Bears win, and after six losses in seven outings, the window for considering a QB change seems a little more ajar than before. Rattler really did a lot of good things prior to Chicago, but at some point — with the season slipping away — the Saints will likely want to see what Tyler Shough is capable of. If the season ended today, they’d have a top-three pick...

Our offense vs. their defense: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints are set to face their first divisional opponent of the 2025 NFL season this weekend when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Big Easy. Both teams are coming off big losses as the Saints fell to the Bears and the Bucs fell to the Lions.

The NFC South foe will be playing on a short week after losing 24-9 on Monday Night Football on the road versus the Detroit Lions. Even with the loss, Tampa Bay still holds a one-game lead over the rest of the division, but New Orleans is firmly in last place with...

State of the NFC South: Entering Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Injuries have become a massive issue for the Buccaneers this season, and they have reared their ugly head once again. On Monday Night Football, Tampa Bay had the biggest test of the season against the Detroit Lions, and they looked completely outmatched. WR Mike Evans went down with a bad injury early, resulting in the offense never really bouncing back. The Lions made QB Baker Mayfield’s life horrible in this game and stopped Tampa Bay from running the ball. On defense, the usually great Buccaneers run defense got demolished by RB Jahmyr Gibbs. The one good...

Saints Spotlight: Week 8 vs. Buccaneers

Saints Spotlight: Week 8 vs. Buccaneers

This week, we’re introducing a new series highlighting a player worth keeping an eye on heading into each matchup. With the New Orleans Saints hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season at Caesars Superdome, the player to watch is LB Danny Stutsman.

Over the past two games, Stutsman’s reps have finally been increasing—something many have been asking for, especially considering Pete Werner’s struggles.

Against the Patriots in Week 6, this year’s fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma took some first-team reps in place of Werner, who was on the sidelines holding his helmet, and immediately...

If Saints win/lose vs. Buccaneers

If Saints win/lose vs. Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints are back home in the Caesars Superdome as they host NFC South rival Tampa Bay on Sunday. Here’s a look at what either outcome would mean for Kellen Moore’s team.

If the Saints win

A victory on Sunday would be a considerable upset; although the Bucs fell short against the Lions on Monday Night Football, they’ve proven to be one of the conference’s best teams. Despite their growing list of injuries – including, most recently, Mike Evans – Tampa Bay is a clear favorite here.

Strange things can happen in divisional matchups. If the Saints...

SB Nation Reacts Survey: Should the Saints consider a change at quarterback?

SB Nation Reacts Survey: Should the Saints consider a change at quarterback?

In Week 7, we saw the New Orleans Saints lose 26-14 to the Chicago Bears and drop to 1-6 on the season. It was Spencer Rattler’s worst game of the season, as he was sacked 4 times, threw 3 interceptions and finishing with a 30.1 QBR. After 7 games, Rattler has thrown for 1,450 yards, 8 TD’s, 4 INT’s and a 55.7 QBR. After last Sunday’s performance, many fans are wondering how the Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough would be performing at this point.

Both Rattler and Shough were deadlocked in a QB competition all through training camp and preseason,...

Overreactions: Saints vs. Bears

The New Orleans Saints weren’t able to pull off the comeback against the Chicago Bears, falling 26-14 in Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season at Soldier Field. Here’s the biggest overreaction from this weekend’s matchup:

It’s time for the Saints to replace Spencer Rattler with Tyler Shough.

Look, I know what we saw from Rattler on Sunday in Chicago was less than encouraging: 20-of-32 passing for 233 yards and two touchdowns, along with a fumble and three interceptions—the first time in his career he’s thrown three picks in a game—while posting a season-low passer rating of 66.3.
