All-Time Series: Packers lead 16-9
The last time the Saints and Packers met saw New Orleans in Lambeau Field taking on Brett Hundley. It was a game where Aaron Jones saw much success on the Saints, rushing for 131 yards on 17 attempts, including the game's first score on a 46-yard run in the first quarter. The Saints would counter and equal up the score in the second quarter, but the Packers would take a 14-7 lead going into halftime.
New Orleans would get a couple of scores on the board in the third quarter to take a 16-14 lead, but Green Bay would get it right back in the early part of the fourth quarter. The Saints would get an important Wil Lutz field goal, and added the exclamation point late in the game with a one-yard Drew Brees rushing touchdown to improve to 4-2 on the year.
Things to watch: Drew Brees is aiming for his 8th in row vs. Green Bay with 300+ pass yards. Brees is also eyeing his 4th start in row against the Packers at home with 2+ TD passes. New Orleans could certainly use a strong Brees performance, as the offense has struggled in the first two weeks. Defensively, the Saints look to prove that last week's blunders against the Raiders were just that.
