The New Orleans Saints return to action this Sunday afternoon, taking on the Detroit Lions at home after last week's bye. The Saints come into the game at 2-2, winners of two straight, while Detroit enters the contest at 3-2.
This will be the 26th meeting between the Saints and Lions, with the series currently tied at 12-12-1. The first meeting between these two teams took place on November 24, 1968 in Detroit. The game ended in a 20-20 tie, the first tie game in Saints franchise history and the only NFC opponent that New Orleans has ever registered a tie against.
