The 0-3 New Orleans Saints travel to Highmark Stadium on Sunday, September 28, 2025 to face the 3-0 Buffalo Bills in what could be a defining moment for both teams. For Buffalo, maintaining an unblemished record keeps them atop the AFC East and bolsters their reputation as legitimate contenders.
For New Orleans, still seeking their first win of the season, the game presents a chance to halt a skid that has already put them on the back foot in the NFC South and raised questions about their offensive consistency under first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET on CBS.
