Packers’ Road to Hollywood & Super Bowl 56 Starts In New Orleans
Green Bay Packers will be beginning the year on the road yet again. Green Bay Packers will play New Orleans at 3:25p on FOX. This will be the first matchup between the two teams without Drew Brees. It could be the first game without Aaron Rodgers as well. But we’re not an engagement-bait website, so, we’re not even going to go there. Packers and Saints are two of the most successful NFL franchises in the last decade. It’s an interesting choice for Joe Buck & Troy Aikman considering the uncertainty with both teams, but with the Rodgers drama, this will definitely draw a rating.
The #Saints will play host to the #Packers in Week 1 of the 2021 season on Sunday, Sept. 12. It will be FOX's America's Game of the Week, a 3:25 p.m. CT kickoff. Official announcement to come on @foxandfriends.

Here’s a fake stat for you. The last time Green Bay won back-to-back games in New Orleans was 1993 and 1995. The Saints weren’t very good back then, so, this isn’t a surprise. The win last year was the Packers’ first in New Orleans since that 95 season. Roger Goodell wants full fans, therefore, the Superdome is going to be a lot different than what it was last season.
The rest of the Packers’ schedule will likely get leaked out as the day goes on.
