Saints-Falcons to kick off Sunday at 3:25
The Saints’ regular-season finale at Atlanta next Sunday will kick off at 3:25 p.m., the NFL announced Sunday night.
The Saints-Falcons game will be played at the same time as the San Francisco 49ers-Los Angeles Rams game. New Orleans, which improved to 8-8 with an 18-10 victory over Carolina on Sunday, needs a win combined with a Rams victory over the 49ers (9-7) to grab the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs – the only remaining spot to be determined in the NFC bracket.
Saints-Falcons and 49ers-Rams will be broadcast on FOX.
For the first time in decades, the NFL has a Saturday doubleheader to open the final weekend of the season. Kansas City will visit Denver at 3:30 p.m., followed by Dallas at Philadelphia at 7:15 p.m., with both games on ABC and ESPN.
The final game of the regular season will be next Sunday night, as the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Las Vegas Raiders, with the winner securing a playoff spot. That will be televised by NBC.
