How to Listen to Cardinals vs. Saints Today: Radio Station, Live Stream, and More
The Saints and Cardinals are on the doorstep of success but have been decimated by injuries and have faced a challenging NFC field over the last few seasons.
Derek Carr has yet to find similar success as he did with the Raiders, as the Saints’ offense stumbled through the end of the 2023 schedule and missed the playoffs entirely.
The Cardinals return a lot of help, including Kyler Murray, who remains the face of the organization. Marvin Harrison Jr., who had tremendous success with Ohio State, and other weapons to complement the offense, will join him. The defense should also steadily improve, adding key pieces in the offseason.
But for now, the preseason still has one objective: getting rookies reps and showing which NFL teams they belong to. The next three weeks will dictate this, as both teams will trim their rosters to 53 by month’s end.

The final NFL game on Saturday will see the New Orleans Saints head to State Farm Stadium to take on the Arizona Cardinals.
QB Derek Carr and the Saints had a chance to clinch the NFC South last year. Amid a two-game win streak, a win against the Rams in Week 16 would’ve completed the run the New Orleans needed to win the AFC South.
Despite scoring 15 fourth-quarter points, the Saints couldn’t complete the comeback and fell 30-22. That loss practically ended their playoff chances, even with winning the final two games. With a new season ahead and the NFC South still up for grabs, can New Orleans return to the postseason for the first time in the post-Drew Brees era?
Carr’s going to have a more formidable challenge with dwindling weapons. WR Chris Olave remains with the team and is a bonafide WR1. However, the depth behind him is light. Rashid Shaheed was great last season, but he’s more of a WR3 or WR4, not a WR2. AT Perry had 12 receptions for 246 yards and four TDs last season. The Saints will desperately need someone to step up in the passing game.
New Orleans is still going strong with Alvin Kamara out of the gate regarding the rushing attack. While he started to find some room last year, the success of the Saints passing game is going to affect Kamara’s ability to find space. If Carr can’t move the ball effectively, defenses can key in on Kamara to slow down the 2017 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
While Carr is eager to take snaps in the preseason opener, it’s been made clear the 2024 preseason is about the backup battle between Jake Haener and rookie QB Spencer Rattler. Rattler was drafted in the fifth round, but it wasn’t long ago he was being looked at as a first-round pick. Did the Saints find a diamond in the rough?
The Cardinals’ 2023 campaign was one to be forgotten. With Kyler Murray not returning until Week 10 of the 2023 season, the Cardinals finished 4-13 with three different quarterbacks playing in at least seven games. While Murray will not play in any preseason action, he will be ready to start in Week 1 of the 2024 regular season.
The Cardinals’ most significant addition this offseason was 2024 fourth-overall pick WR Marvin Harrison Jr. The former Buckeye is just the latest talented wideout in a long line of Ohio State receivers. During his collegiate career, he amassed 155 receptions for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns. He immediately becomes the Cardinals’ WR1, needing someone else to step up as the number two option.
TE Trey McBride led all pass catchers in yards last season, and their touchdowns leader, Marquise Brown, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. Arizona is expecting one of Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, or Zay Jones to step up and take over next to Harrison Jr.
It’ll be up to QBs Desmond Ridder and Clayton Tune to help the Cardinals determine how the WR depth will look in the preseason.
The Cardinals are still a work in progress in Jonathan Gannon’s second season as head coach. While they should make strides this season compared to their 4-13 2023 finish, expecting to compete in a top-heavy NFC West is unfair. Improvement should be the goal.
