New Orleans will host the New York Jets on Sunday in a pivotal matchup between two rebuilding teams seeking momentum in the late stages of the season. The Saints, led by rookie quarterback Brady Cook, aim to build on their recent success, while the Jets, who are reeling after a dismal 48-20 loss to the Jaguars, look to turn their fortunes around. Cook, who made his NFL regular-season debut last week, has been impressive, completing 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions. The undrafted rookie will look to continue his growth, with both Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields serving as his backup. Meanwhile, the Jets' offense has been struggling, with a -17 turnover differential and just two takeaways all season. However, they do have some bright spots, including running back Breece Hall, who is just 100 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season, and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, who has been a reliable target for quarterback Cook. The Saints' defense, which has been one of the top units in the league, will look to shut down the Jets' offense and secure a crucial win. Led by defensive end Cameron Jordan, who has 128 sacks and 750 tackles since 2011, the Saints have been one of the most consistent defensive teams in the NFL. In a matchup that promises to be a closely contested battle, both teams will be looking to gain momentum and stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. With the Saints' offense led by quarterback Tyler Shough and wide receiver Chris Olave, who has been a consistent threat all season, the Jets will need to step up their game to secure a win.
