Here’s how it shapes for the black and gold, who will play their first two games on the road:
- Week 1 (August 12-14): at New England Patriots
- Week 2 (August 19-21): at Houston Texans
- Week 3 (August 26-28): Pittsburgh Steelers
- Week 4 (September 1-3): Baltimore Ravens
Last year’s preseason saw the New Orleans Saints go winless (0-4) against the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, Houston Texans, and Green Bay Packers. It was the first time the club was swept in preseason action since 1971, and that was back when clubs played six games.
