Week 6 of the NFL will mark Teddy Bridgewater’s fourth start in the absence of Drew Brees, having gone 3-0 in his previous three starts. Now, Bridgewater must face the stout Jacksonville Jaguars defense as they travel to TIAA Bank Field for a noon CT matchup.
The New Orleans Saints easily cruised past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Once again, the Saints played lock down defense which saw cornerback Marshon Lattimore completely shutting down wide receiver Mike Evans. On the other side of the ball, Bridgewater easily had his best game with New Orleans by throwing for 314 yards and four touchdowns.
New Orleans will face a much tougher secondary in Jacksonville, but the Saints offense has proven to be formidable the last few weeks even without Drew Brees. All-star cornerback Jalen Ramsey is recovering from a back injury, putting his game status in doubt. His situation will be one to monitor in the coming days.
The broadcast map from 506 Sports highlights the coverage for each of the games during the early slate. The Jaguars-Saints kickoff will be nationally televised on CBS at 12:00 p.m. CT. The areas in blue on the map (much of the Southeast United States) will have access to the Saints game.
