This evening, the NFL kicks off week 7 with an inter-conference matchup as the Denver Broncos travel to the bayou to visit the New Orleans Saints. Denver is out to a 3-3 start on the strength of its defense, while the Saints sit two games under .500 after getting blown out 51-27 last week by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints are dealing with a massive amount of injuries, however, particularly on offense. Quarterback Derek Carr was listed as doubtful for today’s game with an oblique injury, which means that rookie Spencer Rattler will probably start behind center. In addition, the team’s two top receivers are both out, as Chris Olave has a concussion and Rashid Shaheed had knee surgery, while tight end/positionless weapon Taysom Hill is also doubtful with a hip issue.
Those injuries are in large part why the Broncos are favored in this evening’s game despite being the visiting team. Here’s how to tune in for tonight’s game.
