We are all set to begin Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season with an exciting matchup. Thursday Night Football tonight will feature a classic AFC vs. NFC clash. Two teams who would love a victory at this point of the season, tonight’s game promises some new faces on the field. Let us explore more and find out who’s playing Thursday Night Football tonight!
Week 7’s Thursday Night Football game will be played between the New Orleans Saints (2-4) vs. the Denver Broncos (3-3). The Denver Broncos will be visiting the Saints at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Even though they are playing in front of their home crowd, the Saints have a lot of questions to answer.
Game kickoff time: 8:15 p.m. ET
A season that started with 2 massive wins over the Panthers and the Cowboys turned into a nightmare a bit too quickly for the Saints. Head coach Dennis Allen and his boys find themselves on a 4-game losing streak. New Orleans needs this win to ensure they are still in contention for a playoffs spot before it becomes a distant dream.
The Saints have lost 2 of their 3 home games and to make matters worse, Saints QB Derek Carr is listed as doubtful for the game. In the absence of Carr, rookie Spencer Rattler will be the starting quarterback for the Saints.
The Broncos have fared slightly better than the Saints. After winning all three preseason games, they started their regular season with 2 losses against the Seahawks and Steelers. Since then, the Broncos have won 3 of their last 4 games. Broncos QB Bo Nix is looking better with every game. Nix threw 2 touchdowns for 216 yards in the game vs. the Chargers and had almost similar stats for the game against the Raiders.
The Denver Broncos lead the head-to-head against the New Orleans Saints by 9-3. In the last 5 games, the Broncos have won 4 games with the Saints winning just one.
