Saints Set to Face Giants With Former New Orleans Quarterback Jameis Winston
The New Orleans Saints, who have been publicly criticized by their owner for a 1-4 start, are set to play the New York Giants in New York. The Giants' starting quarterback is Jameis Winston, a former Saints player.
Lake Charles, LA, October 18, 2026 —
The New Orleans Saints are set to face the New York Giants in New York, where Jameis Winston is the Giants’ starting quarterback. Winston previously played for New Orleans, giving the matchup a connection to the Saints as the team enters the game after a 1-4 start.
The Saints’ owner has publicly criticized the team over that start. The trend summary does not provide the owner’s name, the wording or timing of the criticism, or further details about the team’s response. It also does not specify when the game will be played or identify its venue beyond saying it is in New York.
Winston’s role as the Giants’ starter is the stated detail about New York’s lineup. No additional information was provided about the Saints’ expected lineup, the teams’ preparation, injuries, or their recent results beyond New Orleans’ 1-4 start. The summary also does not include comments from either team or describe any specific storyline beyond Winston’s former connection to the Saints.
The available information therefore frames the game around two points: the Saints’ start and the public criticism from their owner, and Winston’s place under center for New York after having played for New Orleans. Further details about the date, the teams’ plans, and the circumstances of Winston’s departure from the Saints were not provided.
