The New York Giants travel down to Louisiana this Sunday where they’ll take on the New Orleans Saints in front of a packed Caesars Superdome.
For the Saints, the Week 4 game will serve as their home opener after their Week 1 tilt was moved to Jacksonville due to Hurricane Ida and their previous two games were on the road.
It will be the first time the Saints have played in front of their home fans since 2019. Already a loud and difficult place to play, the Giants know it will be extra rowdy come Sunday.
“Yeah, we’ll be ready for it. We tried to simulate that [Thursday] in practice and we’ll keep working that, but it’s definitely going to be part of the game and something we’re going to have to prepare for, and we are preparing for it. So, we’ll be ready for it,” quarterback Daniel Jones told reporters.
Communication in the huddle and at the line will be tough, but Jones seems unconcerned.
“A little tougher to do that. But like I said, we’ll be ready for it, however we need to communicate,” Jones added.
Although things will be a bit quieter when the Giants are defense, head coach Joe Judge left no stone unturned. He prepared the offense and defense for the amount of noise they are about to experience.
“Coach (Judge) gave us a little taste of how it’s going to sound. He played a little video for us,” defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence said. “Honestly, it’s just staying composed and being locked in on that one play at a time and don’t let the noise be too much.
“Your ears might ring a little bit, but that’s part of what’s going to help them. It’s part of the home field advantage. Just like I said, got to stay composed and do your job.”
For the Giants, the boisterous cheering will be extra strange. It’s something they haven’t heard in years.
