The New Orleans Saints will host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in Week 8. Here are all the highlights, the game recap, and the final score.

The New Orleans Saints will host the Seattle Seahawks at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. FOX will have the early afternoon telecast on October 30th.

New Orleans is 2-4 on the season. The Saints are coming off a tough road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 7. New Orleans is still alive in the NFC South race, but needs to get a big win at home over the favored Seahawks.

Seattle is 4-1-1 after an awkward tie to the division rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. The Seahawks lead the NFC West, but have something to prove on Sunday in the Big Easy.

Will this decline Seattle offense be able to play in a shootout against the Seahawks? With a defense that played an extra 16 snaps in Week 7, expect the Seattle defense to play a lackluster game in the back-end.

Three Stars

1. Drew Brees: Brees won’t throw for an absurd number of yards in this one against a strong Seahawks secondary. However, this is a tired Seattle defense the Saints’ vaunted passing attack is going up against at home. Look for Brees to complete 64% of his passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

2. Earl Thomas: The Seahawks’ secondary might play a little loose on Sunday, but look for Thomas to have a big day. He could have eight tackles, two pass breakups, and a forced turnover.

3. Doug Baldwin: For Seattle to win on the road, the Seahawks will need a big game from its best perimeter player. Look for Baldwin to have seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown.
