New Orleans Saints 2021 schedule has been announced. Here’s the full lineup, TV info
The first NFL schedule featuring 17 games is officially here, and the New Orleans Saints now have an idea of what the road without Drew Brees looks like.
The Saints have five prime-time games against the Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins.
New Orleans also has seven games against playoff teams from 2020, including the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They play the Bucs twice, the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Football Team, Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills.
The Saints play the AFC East and the NFC East this season, as has been on the schedule for years. The Saints also travel to play the Seattle Seahawks because the Seahawks won the NFC West crown last season, and the Saints will host the NFC North champion Green Bay Packers.
Additionally, the Saints have the Tennessee Titans on their schedule as the 17th game, which owners voted on and approved earlier this offseason. AFC teams host nine games in 2021, meaning the Saints will have an additional road game this year.
