The New Orleans Saints are well rested after their bye week, but there is plenty of work left to be done this season. Kellen Moore’s team won their last game, led by Tyler Shough. Now, they will try to fend off an Atlanta Falcons team that is struggling and may be without their starting quarterback in Week 12.
For a game filled with plenty of emotion, that piece of the puzzle may only get turned up even further. Drew Brees has made his return to announcing NFL games, and it sounds like he may call this Saints-Falcons battle this weekend.
The former Saints QB is an option to be on call for the rivalry matchup after returning to the booth during the Saints’ bye week. Brees was met with mixed reviews during his Week 11 performance for the New York Giants-Green Bay Packers game, but he deserves plenty of time to find his football and improve as a broadcaster. Would be a great opportunity for both Brees and Saints fans.
According to Crescent City Sports, Brees will reportedly be in the booth for New Orleans’ Nov. 23 game against the Falcons in the Caesars Superdome. That will be finalized and confirmed on Wednesday when the FOX broadcast map is released online. Brees is set to announce alongside Adam Amin, his expected duo for the foreseeable future. Kristina Pink will handle the sideline reporting duties for FOX in those games with them.

With New Orleans as their quarterback, Brees went 16-9 against Atlanta. There were plenty of high-scoring matchups in the series with him as the Saints starter.
Overall in his career, Brees was 19-10 versus the Falcons. Brees totaled a passer rating of 97.1 with 8,695 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions in those matchups.
Now, he will look to bring the Saints a bit of good luck as he continues this new era of his football career. He is surely excited to get another chance in the booth after his first attempt was cut far too short. Make sure to check out the broadcast during this game and give him a listen for a bit of nostalgia.
