The New Orleans Saints are slated to host the visiting Los Angeles Chargers in their Week 5 matchup on Monday Night Football. However, Hurricane Delta is expected to hit Louisiana on Friday evening and possibly spoil the football festivities, according to The Athletic.

The Saints are currently considering evacuating at Indianapolis on Thursday because of the looming storm and have even discussed a contingency plan with the NFL to play their Monday night game against the Chargers there, according to two sources familiar with the situation.

Team and league officials will monitor the progression of the storm on Wednesday before deciding in the afternoon whether they will push through with the evacuation plan on Thursday.

On the field, the Saints have yet to find their luck in the early stages of the season. The Drew Brees-led squad remains to be inconsistent throughout the course of their first four games of the season.

The team opened the season with a dominant 34-23 win against the revamped Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed by a surprising 34-24 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Saints continued with their tough schedule as they faced the undefeated Green Bay Packers in Week 3 which resulted in a 37-30 defeat. Head coach Sean Payton made the necessary adjustments and led the team to bounce back with a 35-29 victory over the Detroit Lions which currently puts them on an even 2-2 record.

The team will have an opportunity to add another tally to their win column as they face the Chargers who currently find themselves with a dismal 1-3 record to start the season. Hopefully, the Monday Night Football game will proceed as scheduled be it in New Orleans or Indianapolis.
