It’s finally time for the New Orleans Saints to kick off their 2019 season. They’ll do that on football’s biggest stage, hosting the Houston Texans inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the first Monday Night Football game of the year. Drew Brees and the Saints are eager to start their season on a good night; they need to, with two painful playoffs exits and five consecutive opening-week losses behind them. But the Texans, led by fiery young quarterback Deshaun Watson and All-Pro sack artist J.J. Watt, won’t make it easy for New Orleans.
This week’s Monday Night Football contest starts earlier than usual, because it’s part of a double-header; the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos will square up immediately afterwards, with their kickoff scheduled for 9:20 p.m. CT. Here’s everything you need to know about watching, listening, and streaming the Saints’ regular season opener.
