4. New Orleans Saints (Play Monday Night)

If all goes according to plan, Drew Brees will be making his mark once again in NFL history by becoming the league’s all-time passing leader, which shouldn’t be surprising since the New Orleans Saints quarterback is still playing some of his best football. As scary as it seems, Brees looks like he could continue playing at an elite level for a few more seasons, and most importantly, the Saints have turned things around following a tough loss in the season opener to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Even though the defense hasn’t been playing as well as last season, New Orleans is still in great shape when it comes to the race in the NFC South with their 3-1 record since the offense continues to find ways to put up the necessary points. Between Alvin Kamara picking up right where he left off as a dangerous threat in the backfield along with Michael Thomas continuing to emerge as a top receiver in the league, the Saints’ offense is loaded with talent for Brees to work with.

On a night that is expected to be filled with plenty of celebrations, expect New Orleans to come through for their beloved quarterback on offense to make sure this is a night to remember for Brees. The veteran has always been viewed as one of the greatest players to ever step foot on the field, and there’s no question Brees is deserving of this honor, whether it’s Monday or another week.
