NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has scheduled a Falcons-Saints Monday night game in New Orleans for Week Four of the 2026 season, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Saints’ memorable win against the Falcons in 2006, which marked the team’s return post-Hurricane Katrina. NFL VP Mike North confirmed the game was specifically requested by Goodell, emphasizing the importance of the anniversary. While some fans preferred a Week Three date, scheduling logistics favored Week Four. The 2006 game is particularly remembered for Steve Gleason’s pivotal blocked punt, and the 2026 matchup will celebrate that significant moment in Saints history.
