The New Orleans Saints still haven’t played their Week 15 game, but eyes are already cast forwards on their Week 16 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. And for good reason: the NFL delayed its decision to flex that game into a more prominent time slot, possibly even the coveted “Sunday Night Football” national broadcast window.
However, the Saints and Titans will not be getting that prime-time kickoff, per a report from NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano. The league and its broadcast partners have agreed to keep the previously scheduled game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears in that slot, which isn’t as compelling a matchup (the Bears are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, while the Titans need to beat the Saints to keep their hopes alive) but probably easy to develop a narrative around.
