NFL announces Saints 2019 schedule
The New Orleans Saints announced today their 2019 regular season schedule that is hilighted by a pair of Monday Night games and a road trip back to face off against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Saints kick off their campaign at home on Monday night, September 9 against the Houston Texans.
The Saints will open their season at home for the second consecutive season, when they play the Texans on Monday Night Football (6:10 p.m. CT), marking the first time they open at home on Monday night since 1990 (September 10, 1990 vs. San Francisco).
Seven of the Saints’ 16 games will be against teams that finished with a winning percentage of .500 or better in 2018, with contests against six 2018 playoff clubs – Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Seattle.
The Saints will have their open date in week nine of the NFL calendar.
New Orleans’s eight road games in 2019 will have the team travel 16,960 miles (roundtrip) away from home after they traveled a total of 13,734 miles (roundtrip) in 2018. The longest trip will be the Week 3 trek to Seattle (5,428 miles roundtrip).
