The New Orleans Saints are officially eliminated from playoff contention. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are one win away from clinching a playoff berth.
It’s safe to say that one team has a little more to play for on Monday Night Football than the other squad. With that being said, the Saints have done a great job, despite their poor record, of keeping games close under interim head coach Darren Rizzi.
New Orleans is out its two most impactful players, quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara, as rookie Spencer Rattler is set to make his first outdoor start in his NFL career at frigid Lambeau Field.
