Don't Miss a Moment: Saints Week 7 Live Action Alerts!

NEW ORLEANS -- The Saints (2-4) need to win on Thursday night, and there's really no other way of putting it. The Superdome will have an interesting vibe to it with Sean Payton making his return with the Broncos (3-4) and also with Drew Brees in the house for him going into the Saints Hall of Fame. New Orleans can enter their mini-bye with some optimism if they can knock off Denver, but it's going to take a Herculean effort. Follow along with all of the game action here.

Who's Out for the Saints This Thursday Night?

Pregame Notes

• For anyone keeping score at home, here's the list of former Saints in action tonight for the Broncos: Wil Lutz, Michael Burton, Adam Trautman, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Lucas Krull, Jordan Jackson, Malcolm Roach, Kwon Alexander and Calvin Throckmorton. The only one who isn't is A.T. Perry.
• Denver has 11 coaches with ties to the Saints: Sean Payton, Joe Lombardi, Zach Strief, Declan Doyle, John Morton, Pete Carmichael, Michael Wilhoite, Joe Vitt, Mike Westhoff, Chris B njo and Dan Dalrymple.
• With Kendre Miller being in the lineup, I'd expect him to get some good target share tonight. It might be more of a 65-35 split with Alvin Kamara, but we'll see.
