The Wait is Over and Week One is Here

Quarterback Tyler Slough is set to make his first career NFL start for the New Orleans Saints in Week 1, leading the offense into a tough road test against the Detroit Lions. Facing Detroit for the very first time, Slough steps into a series that historically couldn't be closer, as the Saints and Lions enter the game deadlocked with a 13-13-1 all-time regular season record against each other. This marquee season opener is scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026, with kickoff set for 1:00 PM ET (12:00 PM CT) at Ford Field in Detroit.
