How to Watch ‘Monday Night Football’: Saints vs. Packers

The playoff race is heating up, and the Week 16 “Monday Night Football” showdown between the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers could shape the postseason picture. The Packers are in great shape as the No. 6 seed, with a 99 percent chance of securing a playoff spot. All they need is one more win, and a victory on Monday night would officially punch their ticket. For the Saints, things are far less optimistic. After their Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders, their postseason chances have dwindled to just one percent. Their only hope hinges on a highly unlikely scenario: They must win, Tampa Bay has to lose, and the Falcons need to drop their last two games. To make matters worse, quarterback Derek Carr confirmed he’s out for the matchup against Green Bay — and likely the rest of the season — after his Week 15 hand injury. With these odds, the Saints’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.

Here is all the info you need to watch “Monday Night Football.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the Week 16 “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Saints and the Packers:

• Who’s playing: New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers
• When’s kickoff: 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT on Dec. 23
• Where’s the game: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin
• Where to watch: ABC, ESPN+

This game is shaping up to be one of the most lopsided matchups of the season, with the Saints as 13.5-point underdogs. To topple the Packers, they’ll need nothing short of a holiday miracle. With Derek Carr sidelined, New Orleans turned to second-year QB Jake Haener last week against the Commanders, only to bench him mid-game for rookie Spencer Rattler. Rattler played much better, nearly leading a comeback before the Saints fell just one point short. If he brings that same spark against Green Bay, they might have a snowball’s chance in hell. The Packers and Saints have squared off 28 times since 1968, with Green Bay holding an 18-10 lead in the all-time series. Week 16 looks like another easy win for the Packers, who are not only playoff-bound but also a major national draw. Add in the electric atmosphere at Lambeau Field on Christmas Eve Eve, and it’s safe to say the Packers’ confidence will be riding high.
