German newspaper reports that Patriots will play Saints in Frankfurt

Circle the month of November in red for the Patriots’ international matchup.

The New England Patriots will have a game in Germany this season, and they will face the New Orleans Saints, according to a report from the German newspaper Bild.

The Saints will take on the Patriots in November at Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park, per the report. The date for the game has not been released yet.  The league’s full schedule is expected to be announced next week.

If the report is correct, this will be the first matchup for the Patriots against the Saints since September 26, 2021. New England lost by a 28-13 margin. However, they lead the all-time series by a 10-5 count.

This will be the fourth international game for New England in the organization’s history. New England has a 3-0 record in these games. The last was a 33-7 win over the Oakland Raiders in Mexico City in 2017.

The Saints have an offensive attack headlined by quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Chris Olave, but New England’s formidable defense will certainly be up for the challenge.
