The New Orleans Saints enter the Monday night football matchup against the Green Bay Packers with a 5-9 record. The Saints have nothing to play for against the Packers except for pride. Green Bay is 10-4 this season and they are looking to clinch a playoff spot with a win on Monday night football against New Orleans.
The Saints have experienced a lot during the 2024 season after there was a lot of promise for them early in the year. New Orleans could very well look a lot different for the 2025 season.

One of the things that has hurt the New Orleans Saints this season is quarterback Derek Carr getting injured. The Saints’ defense has also not performed well. Alvin Kamara has a groin injury and will not play against the Green Bay Packers. Chris Olave also has a head injury and has been ruled out for the game for the Saints on Monday night.

For the first two weeks of the NFL season, the New Orleans Saints offense looked like it was going to be one of the best all season long until the Philadelphia Eagles figured it out in Week 3. New Orleans struggled after that and it eventually led to the firing of head coach Dennis Allen. With the Saints being eliminated, there is a chance that they won’t perform well against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night football also.
