The Saints enter 2025 with a new coaching staff, led by Kellen Moore, who brings a reputation for innovative offensive schemes from his time as the offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. Moore replaces Dennis Allen, whose tenure saw the team struggle with a 20-30-1 record against the spread, making the Saints one of the least reliable bets in the NFL.
Moore’s challenge is to revitalize an offense that ranked 24th in points per game in 2024 while integrating young talent into a roster with aging veterans.
Joining Moore are offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier and defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, both tasked with implementing new systems.
Moore’s offense, known for its adaptability, will lean on controlling the line of scrimmage, a strength he honed in Philadelphia. However, with a roster in transition, expectations are tempered, and the focus is on development rather than immediate contention.
Week 1: Saints 13, Arizona 20
The Week 1 game result is reflected in the sports card above, showing the Saints’ loss to the Arizona Cardinals (13-20).
September 14: @ San Francisco 49ers (L 21-26)
In a thriller at Levi’s Stadium, New Orleans rallied from a 10-point deficit behind Derek Carr’s clutch throws, only to fall short on a missed two-point conversion in the final minute against the NFC West contenders.
September 21: vs. Seattle Seahawks (L 13-44)
A nightmare home opener at the Dome saw the Seahawks’ explosive offense overwhelm the Saints, piling on points with big plays while New Orleans’ ground game sputtered in one of the most lopsided losses in recent memory.
September 28: vs. Buffalo Bills (L 19-31)
Josh Allen diced up the secondary as the Bills pulled away late, despite a valiant effort from Alvin Kamara’s 120 rushing yards; special teams miscues turned a winnable game into a tough home pill to swallow.
October 5: vs. New York Giants (W 26-14)
Finally, a breath of fresh air! The Saints’ defense forced three turnovers, and Carr connected on deep balls to Chris Olave for two scores, powering a dominant home win that snapped the skid and ignited Who Dat fever.
October 12: vs. New England Patriots (L 19-25)
A back-and-forth battle ended in heartbreak as a late Patriots touchdown pass flipped the script; Kamara’s 100+ yards weren’t enough against New England’s opportunistic D in this Dome heartbreaker.
October 19: vs. Chicago Bears (L 14-26)
Caleb Williams outdueled Carr with pinpoint accuracy, as the Bears’ run game controlled the clock and the Saints’ red-zone woes led to another frustrating home loss amid growing fan frustrations.
October 26: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (L 3-23)
Baker Mayfield torched the secondary for 300+ yards in a divisional rout, with New Orleans managing just a field goal; injuries started mounting, turning this into a forgettable Thursday night thud.
November 2: @ Los Angeles Rams (L 10-34)
On the road against a surging Rams squad, the Saints’ offense managed only a touchdown late, as Matthew Stafford’s arm and Cooper Kupp’s hands exposed coverage gaps in a blowout that dropped us to 1-7.
November 9: @ Carolina Panthers (W 17-7)
Road warriors at last! A stifling Saints defense sacked Bryce Young five times and picked him off twice, while Kamara grinded out 140 yards to secure a gritty divisional win and a much-needed confidence boost.
November 23: vs. Atlanta Falcons (L 10-24)
In the annual Dome showdown, Kirk Cousins shredded the pass rush for three TDs, and despite a late Saints rally, turnovers buried us in another bitter rivalry defeat that kept the South standings in turmoil.

Tua Tagovailoa’s magic edged out a resilient Saints squad in a wild fourth-quarter shootout; a dropped interception sealed the close home loss, leaving fans cursing the slim margin.
December 7: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (W 24-20)
The Black and Gold pulled off a gritty road upset against a playoff-contending Tampa Bay squad. Rookie QB Tyler Shough and the offense capitalized on key stops, handing the Bucs a tough divisional loss and kicking off the Saints’ current win streak.
December 14: vs. Carolina Panthers (W 20-17)
In a nail-biter at the Caesars Superdome, the Saints rallied late with Shough orchestrating two fourth-quarter scoring drives. Kicker Charlie Smyth nailed a game-winning 47-yard field goal as time expired, spoiling Carolina’s division lead hopes and improving New Orleans to 4-10.
December 21 (Week 16) vs. New York Jets: Saints 29, Jets 6
The Saints dominated in their home finale, extending the streak to three wins. Chris Olave hauled in TDs from both Shough and Taysom Hill, while Smyth tied a club record with five field goals. Vet Cam Jordan added two sacks, and the defense smothered the Jets in a feel-good blowout.
