Are the New Orleans Saints playing today? NFL Week 11 schedule, matchups, teams on a bye

The New Orleans Saints are almost at the finish line.

Before they get there, however, New Orleans is getting a brief intermission. Wins have come few and far between for Kellen Moore in his first season as head coach, but things are looking up heading into the bye.

They are fresh off an upset win over the Carolina Panthers, which came after Tyler Shough’s best showing as a pro. The rookie looked the part of a starting quarterback and made significant improvement in just his second start. Saints fans hoping for an encore will have to wait another week though.

New Orleans is on vacation this week, but at least they have something to look forward to when they return.

Here’s a look at the NFL Week 11 schedule.

Week 1: Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (18) makes a catch for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. The play was originally ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned. Despite TeSlaa’s effort, the Packers won the game 27-13.

Week 1: The New England Patriots’ Robert Spillane (14) and Christian Elliss (53) tackle Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (87) during the second half at Gillette Stadium. The Raiders won the game, 20-13.

Week 1: New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (3) fumbles the ball on a tackle by Washington Commanders safety Will Harris (3) during the first quarter at Northwest Stadium. It was a rough Giants debut for Wilson (17 of 37 passing for 168 yards) as the Commanders won the game, 21-6.

Week 1: Fireworks go off before the NFL Kickoff Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles opened the season with a 24-20 victory over their longtime NFC East rivals.
