The New Orleans Saints will host the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football to kick off the Week 7 NFL slate. It may not be the most attractive primetime NFL game, but it should be close with both teams needing a win.
Thursday’s game will also mark Broncos head coach Sean Payton’s return to New Orleans. After coaching in New Orleans for 16 years, Payton stepped away and took a year off. He was then hired at the Broncos head coach in 2023. Payton drafted his rookie quarterback this year in Bo Nix to hopefully create some of the same offensive spark that he had with Drew Brees.
