Nobody expected the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) to be facing a must-win scenario in the middle of November, but that is exactly where they stand as they head to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints (8-1) as Week 11 action continues on Sunday afternoon.
The game is scheduled to start at 4:@5 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Fox in select areas (coverage map here). If the game is on in your market and you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Preview
New Orleans sits in first place in the NFC South, and along with the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs, are one of three one-loss teams in the NFL right now.
Drew Brees has emerged as one of the two clear-cut MVP front runners this season, along with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Through nine games, Brees has completed 77% of his pass attempts for 2,601 yards, 21 touchdowns, just one interception, to the tune of a 123.8 passer rating.
After suffering a torn ACL last week in a 27-20 loss against the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles placed cornerback Ronald Darby on injured reserve this week. Already down Jalen Mills (knee), Philadelphia’s secondary is at bare bones as they head south to prepare for one of the most prolific passing offenses in the league.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz knows he needs to lead his team to points early and often in order to hang with the Saints for 60 minutes.
“Obviously we realize they, as of late, have gotten up on teams early. We have a ton of confidence in our defense but that’s a heck of an offense over there. We don’t try to look too much into that because at the end of the day we have high expectations and standards on the offensive side of the ball.”
This game features some of the best skill-position players in football. Namely, Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram and Michael Thomas from the Saints, and tight end Zach Ertz — four 100-yard games this season — from the Eagles.
