The New Orleans Saints are pulling out all the stops for their prime-time Thanksgiving game with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. Not only will they be honoring Drew Brees (who will also be calling the game for NBC) at halftime, but they’ll also be featuring the world-famous “Human Jukebox” marching band from Southern University, per WDSU New Orleans.
It’s a big get, and the scheduling helped make it happen. The big-name brass band will be in town for the Bayou Classic on Saturday, their school’s annual rivalry game with Grambling University, so it makes sense to bring them in to the Caesars Superdome a few days early.
Hopefully the game is as entertaining as the halftime show. The Saints have their backs against the wall, riding a three-game losing streak at 5-5 with a crowd of other NFC playoff contenders nipping at their heels. There may be seven playoff spots up for grabs this year, but another loss could knock the Saints out of contention altogether.
