Tom Brady and the rest of the New England Patriots will play the New Orleans Saints in a 'Monday Night Football' game on Nov. 30 at the Superdome.
Three prime-time home games highlight the New Orleans Saints' 2009 NFL schedule released today by the league office.
They include Monday night games against the Atlanta Falcons (ESPN, 7:30 p.m.) on Nov. 2 and New England Patriots (ESPN, 7:30 p.m.) on Nov. 30 and a Saturday night game against the Dallas Cowboys (7:20 p.m., NFL Network) on Dec. 19.
Their open date falls in Week 5.
And unlike last season when the Saints spent 42 days away from the Superdome, including a trip to London to face the San Diego Chargers, the Saints have one treacherous stretch when they play four out of five games on the road (Weeks 10 through 14).
Here is the schedule:
Week 1 Sunday Sept. 13 vs. Lions noon
Week 2 Sunday Sept. 20 at Eagles noon
Week 3 Sunday Sept. 27 at Bills 3:05 p.m.
Week 4 Sunday Oct. 04 vs. Jets 3:05 p.m.

Fucking A. Sean Payton or Mickey Loomis blew a league official. There's no other explanation. Playing the Pats and the Falcons at home on Monday night, the Cowboys on Saturday night, and two 3:15 games. I only have to get up for three noon games. And the season opens at home with a tune-up game against the Lions.
This is how a schedule should look. Good times.
