New Orleans Saints vs Detroit Lions — Sep 13, 2026

September 13 · 1:00 PM EDT
DET -7 · O/U 49.5

What to look for

There's a playoff line running through this one: Lions sit in a postseason spot, while Saints are on the outside chasing a crossover, so it means a little more to the club playing from behind. Momentum cuts both ways: NO arrive on a 1-game win streak, DET on a 2-game win streak.

Last five games

Each side's most recent results, newest first, with the score and who they played. These reach back into last season where a club has not played five yet, which is why every row carries its date.

Each club's published depth chart, top of the order at every spot. A chart is not a game plan, and coaches confirm the actual card closer to kickoff.

A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.

Separate divisions, so the two records are not directly comparable.
