Rematch between Rams, Saints reportedly scheduled for Week 2 in 2019

It looks like football fans will get to see the NFC Championship rematch early on in 2019 with the Los Angeles Rams reportedly hosting the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.

With the 2019 scheduled to officially be released on Wednesday night, Los Angeles Rams fans have been excited to see when the team would get to host the New Orleans Saints following the events of this past winter.

As football fans remember well, there was some controversy towards the end of the NFC Championship when a clear pass-interference penalty should have been called on the Rams before they would go on to advance to the Super Bowl.

Rightfully so, the Saints and their fans had every reason in the world to be frustrated towards this call since it seemed to obvious, but unfortunately there wasn’t anything the team could do other then move on.

Since New Orleans already knew that Los Angeles was going to be one of their opponents for 2019 at the time, one can only imagine what was going through their minds when realizing they would have a shot at revenge during the regular season.

This meeting may not be as meaningful as the NFC Championship since the Saints strongly believed they would have defeated the New England Patriots, but it looks like New Orleans will get their shot at revenge during Week 2, according to early reports.

The good news for the Rams is unlike the NFC Championship, this game will be played in Los Angeles instead of New Orleans, as the team can only hope playing in front of their own fans will help take off some of the extra pressure.

Based off their success from the previous two seasons, Los Angeles will be considered one of the early favorites in the NFC to make a run at the Super Bowl, and this matchup with New Orleans will be an early test to see how the team looks.

Just because the Rams are viewed as an early favorite in the conference doesn’t necessarily mean they’re guaranteed to find success in 2019.

So if this report is accurate, and Los Angeles is hosting New Orleans in Week 2, this will be the perfect opportunity to make an early statement in regards to showing they deserve to be viewed as a top contender once again.
