New Orleans Saints: 3 Can’t-miss games on the 2021 schedule
1. New Orleans Saints vs. Buffalo Bills (Week 12)
Last but certainly not least, this was another tough choice to make but the final game making the cut had to be the New Orleans Saints facing off against the Buffalo Bills. No surprise this is going to be the team’s annual Thanksgiving game. Coming in at Week 12 to boot, we should have a pretty good idea of how the season is going by that point.
This game is obviously a “can’t-miss” for a few reasons as the Bills are once again another team on the cusp of greatness and are one of the Saints’ biggest AFC challengers. The two teams are both dynamic in their own right so it’ll be interesting to see how they fare.
The Bills pose a unique challenge as the offense and defense are arguably on equal footing when it comes to talent and being a lot to handle for teams.
For the Saints, this game could end up being a make-or-break. The defense has to chance to prove they can get pressure on Josh Allen along with handling the likes of Stefon Diggs and former Saint, Emmanuel Sanders.
With such a young and promising team, the defense will be challenged but if the unit is as talented as predicted, then shutting down the Bills should be no problem. On offense, the team should make sure to utilize the likes of Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas, and hopefully, Adam Trautman.

Of all the games, this Week 12 matchup seems like it has the most potential to be a nail-biter. It might come down to the last few seconds to see if the Saints can get the win or if the Bills will come out on top. Nevertheless, this game is going to be a huge one for the team and hopefully, a happy Thanksgiving for fans.
