However, the last game in New Orleans took place in 2009 and in that encounter the Saints won handily 38-17 in an NFL Monday Night Football game. Drew Brees was the star that night, claiming five touchdown passes, and recording a 158.3 passer rating.
Things may not go quite that well for New Orleans in today's game though. The Patriots are reeling after suffering a shock opening game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-42, so they will be desperate to get back to winning ways, and the Saints may find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Earlier this week, the Houston Texans went on the road to Ohio to play the Cincinnati Bengals on NFL Thursday Night Football. The Texans prevailed 13-9 in a low-scoring and close encounter.
Both teams had lost in Week 1 and so both were intent on avoiding falling to 0-2, however, it is the Bengals that find themselves the first team of the new season to drop to 0-2. The Texans meanwhile move to 1-1 and will look to push on from here.
In Week 1 the Bengals were trashed 20-0 by the Baltimore Ravens, and Andy Dalton was only able to average 5.5 yards per pass through the game, accumulating an horrendous 28.4 passer rating.
The Texans meanwhile suffered an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, in what was a disastrous opening showing for the team. They gave up 10 sacks as well as 29 points, and were forced to bench Tom Savage for rookie Deshaun Watson midway through the game.
Watson struggled through his first ever start in the NFL, however, he did produce the only moment that really mattered in the game as he ran for a 49 yard touchdown after breaking free from the Bengals defense.
That proved to be the difference between the teams and was enough to get the Texans season kick-started with their first victory.
But on the evidence of Thursday's match up, both the Bengals and Texans look like they can have reasonable defenses, however, both will have to do something drastic about their offenses, as both looked far from NFL-level performances. If things do not improve quickly for both teams in that area then it could end up being a long season.
