  2. ↑ Due to Hurricane Ida, the Packers' Week 1 game at the New Orleans Saints was relocated to TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida.[9] While Caesars Superdome did not receive any direct damage, power outages were not expected to be resolved within the city of New Orleans by the day of kickoff.[10]
