Week 4 will come to a close in a prime-time game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons, with the two NFC South rivals squaring off at the Caesars Superdome on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. CT/8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 5.
Unlike the first three Monday Night Football games and the next three to follow, this matchup will not be simulcast on ABC. It's a puzzling decision for a game specifically highlighted as the anniversary of 2006's "Domecoming" game, also broadcast on Monday Night Football, in which the Saints returned to the Superdome for the first time after Hurricane Katrina. So how can fans tune in?
The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, and locally in New Orleans (WDSU/6) and Atlanta (WANF/46).
Joe Buck will be on the call for play-by-play coverage with Troy Aikman joining him in the booth to share color commentary. Laura Rutledge and Lisa Salters are the sideline reporters. In-market fans can stream the game on Fubo, (try it free) ESPN's website, the ESPN app, and NFL+ while international fans can use DAZN.
ManningCast appreciators can watch Peyton Manning and his brother Eli Manning cover the game on ESPN2 or stream it on the ESPN app. This week's guests include former Saints coach Sean Payton, team legend Steve Gleason, and Cooper Manning, who grew up in New Orleans with his brothers.
It's going to be a hugely important game for New Orleans. Beyond the usual stakes of a Saints-Falcons grudge match and the two teams' 1-2 starts to this season, the 20-year anniversary looms large. This win (Payton's first in New Orleans, and defined by Gleason's iconic blocked punt) showed the world that New Orleans was back, and that these Saints meant business. It's the most consequential game of Kellen Moore's tenure as head coach. Let's see him get the win.
