Sean Payton: 'Realistic' that New Orleans Saints host Week 1 game on road

Jameis Winston will definitely be the New Orleans Saints' Week 1 starter, Sean Payton confirmed Tuesday. Whether that game will be played in New Orleans or somewhere else remains to be determined.

Payton said the Saints are leaning toward staying in the Dallas area for the next several weeks until they are able to return home following the destruction of Hurricane Ida. And there is a good chance they will "host" their Week 1 game scheduled for Sept. 12 against the Green Bay Packers in Dallas or elsewhere if they are unable to host the game in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
