The New Orleans Saints are on the road for the first time this preseason, kicking off against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Why it matters: It's a chance to see how the boys of the black and gold look on the road before roster cuts define who will make it into the regular season.
- But also, it doesn't! It's still just preseason ball. Try to have some fun.
State of play: The Saints are coming off a wild finisher in their preseason start against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- We should get another good look at rookie quarterback Jake Haener, as well as rookie kicker Blake Grupe, who made the 31-yard, game-winning field goal against Kansas City.
The big picture: The Saints' regular season starts at home Sept. 10 against the Tennessee Titans.
How to watch: Kickoff at SoFi Stadium is set for 6:05 p.m. Sunday on Fox 8.
