Complete list of opponents for the New Orleans Saints in 2022

The New Orleans Saints are still trying to sneak into the playoffs in the final week of the regular season. With that being said, we look ahead a little bit and already have an early look at their 2022 opponents.

We head into Week 18 of the NFL season and the New Orleans Saints are still alive in the playoff hunt. They currently are 8-8 through their first 16 games and the season hasn’t gone quite how they were hoping. They have been derailed by injuries and they have had to fight tooth and nail to even get to .500 heading into the last week of the season. With what we have seen of this team though, I wouldn’t expect a deep playoff run from them.

As we look to the offseason, the Saints need to address some issues on offense. They had signed quarterback Jameis Winston to a one-year deal and that ended early due to injury. They need to determine if they want to bring back Winston or pursue another quarterback. New Orleans has also suffered through two injury-riddled seasons from Michael Thomas and they are in desperate need of a difference-making wide receiver.
