The NFL has announced that the Detroit Lions will play the New Orleans Saints at 8PM ET Saturday on NBC during Wild Card weekend.
Detroit drew New Orleans as an opponent for the opening weekend of the playoffs after failing to win Sunday afternoon in Green Bay and after Atlanta pounded Tampa Bay from the Georgia Dome.
Detroit’s first playoff game since the 1999-2000 season will be televised on NBC from the Superdome.
