If the New Orleans Saints can beat the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, they would be back in the thick of the NFC playoff picture, and interim coach Darren Rizzi would take a step toward consideration for permanent status. If they lose, December is going to be almost meaningless in the standings — and possibly for Rizzi, too. So can they take advantage? They'll have to stop a potent Rams attack and take advantage of a potentially leaky defense. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down the game and offers

New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi is off to a flying start, winning his first two games. Is this just a two-game blip, or can he sustain momentum through the end of the season?

Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune beat writers Matthew Paras and Luke Johnson, columnist Jeff Duncan and editor Zach Ewing — put on the Rizz in this episode, with a singing performance from Luke included.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to snap a seven-game losing streak in Darren Rizzi's debut as interim head coach.

The New Orleans Saints play their first game under interim head coach Darren Rizzi on Sunday against the rival Atlanta Falcons, a tough test but one the Saints will attack with renewed energy. Rizzi made plenty of immediate changes that players have taken notice of, increasing hope the Saints can at least partially turn around their season after Dennis Allen's firing. On the other hand, injuries are still a problem and the Falcons are riding a big wave of momentum into this game. Our Saints Insider

2024/11/01

The New Orleans Saints have lost six straight games, a skid that has transformed them from the NFL's darlings after two games to one of the worst teams in the league. Luckily for them, they face the consensus worst team in the league this week, the Carolina Panthers. Even better, they return starting quarterback Derek Carr from injury and show every sign of being able to get back to winning ways. But can they? A cluster of injuries to defensive backs and the Saints' general malaise are legitimate

The New Orleans Saints gave star running back Alvin Kamara a 2-year contract extension, securing his future in New Orleans through the 2026 season with $22 million guaranteed.

Saints Insider ·

2024/10/15

The New Orleans Saints have lost four straight games after a red-hot start, and there's plenty of blame to go around. But general manager Mickey Loomis told WWL radio this week that he stands behind head coach Dennis Allen and that fans should "look beyond the results" to evaluate a team. But something is clearly wrong in New Orleans. Is it coaching after all? Injuries? Bad luck? Players who have quit?

Saints Insider ·

2024/10/04

The New Orleans Saints have lost two games in a row by razor-thin margins. The Kansas City Chiefs have made a habit of winning close games in their 4-0 start (not to mention the whole "back-to-back Super Bowl champion thing"). So can the Saints find a way to change that narrative and win on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium? One thing is for sure: It'd be the biggest win in the Dennis Allen era.
