All-time Saints 14–13–1. Saints 4–7–1 in Detroit.
Dec 3, 2023 · Lions 33–28 in the Dome. First Detroit trip since 2020 (Saints 35–29).
- — Lions −7 for a reason. Their run game against an interior missing Bresee is the game.
- — Shough’s first true start, on the road, in a building that gets loud.
- — Olave is the one Saints skill mismatch. Tyson is not in this game.
