The New Orleans Saints' trade of Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders is complete, and now they will have to face him sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a Dec. 15 date set with the Saints in the Caesars Superdome for a matchup that will likely end up not going the way of New Orleans based on their performances this season.

With the Commanders sitting at 7-2 and atop the NFC East, a matchup with the 2-7 bottom of the NFC South Saints is likely not much of a threat, especially now with their new defensive powerhouse Marshon Lattimore.

This will be the first matchup between these teams since 2021 when the Saints beat the Washington Football team 33-22 in one of their transition years. Overall, however, Washington leads this series all-time with a 17-11-0 record, despite the Saints winning the last three games. In that 2021 matchup, Lattimore held Terry McLaurin to 4 receptions for 46 yards during what was likely the peak of both of their careers statistically. He will now have his first shot at the Saints only a month after being traded away.
