The New Orleans Saints (2-9) start a two-game road trip consisting of contests in the state of Florida, when they travel to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. to face off against the Miami Dolphins (4-7). This is the first time the teams have faced off since the 2021 season and the first time the Saints have played the Dolphins in South Florida since their Super Bowl-winning 2009 campaign, when they later returned to the same stadium to capture the World Championship.

The Saints travel to Miami following a tough 24-10 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons at the Caesars Superdome, while the Dolphins are rested following two consecutive victories and a Week 12 bye.

THIS WEEK IN THE NFC SOUTH: The Atlanta Falcons (4-7) play at the New York Jets (2-9), the Carolina Panthers (6-6), host the Los Angeles Rams (9-2) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-5) host the Arizona Cardinals (3-8).

SAINTS vs. DOLPHINS SEASON SERIES HISTORY

The Dolphins lead the all-time series 7-6, but New Orleans has won three of the last four. The two teams first faced off in 1970, as the Saints lost 21-10 in a game played at the historic Orange Bowl. The Saints would lose two more contests to the Dolphins before finally breaking through with a 17-7 victory on Oct. 2, 1983 at the Superdome. The Saints won their first and only road game at the Dolphins in a 46-34 victory on October 25, 2009 at Land Shark Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., when New Orleans matched their biggest comeback in franchise history when they rebounded from a 24-3 deficit with five seconds left in the first half.

THE LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING

Miami Dolphins 20, New Orleans Saints 3; Dec. 27, 2021 @ Caesars Superdome - With 22 players out because of Covid-19 and the team starting its fourth quarterback of the season, the New Orleans Saints offense couldn't get on track against a rugged Miami defense and the Dolphins rolled to a 20-3 victory Monday, Dec. 27 at the Caesars Superdome. The loss ended the Saints' two-game winning streak and dropped their record to 7-8, making them 10th in the NFC standings. The win was the Dolphins' seventh consecutive as they improved to 8-7.
