At face value, the Saints and Cardinals doesn’t seem like much to get excited about tonight. But, anything is better than the last two weeks of Thursday Night Football, right? *chuckles nervously*
I mean, we get primetime Andy Dalton and a depleted Saints wide receiver group on the road against Kyler ‘Call of Duty’ Murray. What can go wrong?
But seriously, Deandre Hopkins makes his season debut after serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. Plus, Robbie Anderson will make his Arizona debut after being traded from Carolina on Monday afternoon.
