The New Orleans Saints kick off the preseason at noon Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The big picture: The Saints have a new quarterback in the form of Derek Carr.

The four-time Pro Bowler comes to New Orleans from the Las Vegas Raiders, and even Drew Brees is hopeful he'll turn things around after the team's 7-10 finish last season.

Worth noting: The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season 38–35 over the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Saints struggled to find their groove and missed the playoffs.

What's next: The game is at the Caesars Superdome and tickets start around $5 on Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.

The regular season kicks off Sept. 10 at home. The Saints will play the Tennessee Titans.
