The New Orleans Saints don’t play on Thanksgiving this year, but they have played on Thanksgiving four times in the past. Though it has been infrequent, the Saints have actually been extremely successful on Turkey Day, currently possessing a 3-1 record.
The last time the team played on the holiday was in 2021. They failed against the Buffalo Bills, and Trevor Siemian was starting at quarterback. Prior to that, however, New Orleans won their first three Thanksgiving days. Back to back Thanksgiving games against the Atlanta Falcons were a part of the winning streak.
Thanksgiving has featured some good memories for the Saints, such as Shy Tuttle notoriously stiff arming Matt Ryan. Here is the Saints history on Thanksgiving:
