The 2022 season was the New Orleans Saints' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 47th playing home games at the Caesars Superdome and their first under head coach Dennis Allen.

Long-time head coach Sean Payton announced his retirement shortly after the Saints 2021 season ended on January 25, 2022.[1] In his 16 years as head coach, Payton led the Saints to seven NFC South titles, nine playoff appearances, and to the franchise's first and only Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLIV. Prior to his departure, Payton was also the second-longest active tenured head coach in the NFL, only behind Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots.[2][3] On February 8, 2022, Allen was announced as the next head coach.

The Saints failed to improve from their 9–8 season from last year after a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, and after another loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the next week, the Saints clinched their first losing season since 2016. Although the Saints beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season after wins by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, and Green Bay Packers the same week.[4] It was the first time the Saints missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since missing the playoffs between 2014-2016. It was also the team's first season since 2005 with double digit losses.

Hoping to grab a second win, the Saints flew to London to host the Minnesota Vikings. This was the first time the Saints had played in the United Kingdom since the 2017 season and their first International Series game as the home team since 2008. After trailing for most of the game, the Saints took the lead in the fourth quarter through a Taysom Hill touchdown run. Justin Jefferson put the Vikings back in front five minutes later, only for Greg Joseph to miss the extra point, allowing Wil Lutz to tie the game with a career-long 60-yard field goal. Joseph put the Vikings back in front again with a 47-yard kick after a long reception by Jefferson with less than 30 seconds to play, only for a Chris Olave catch to put the Saints in range of another game-tying field goal from 61 yards; however, Lutz's kick bounced back off the left upright and the crossbar to give the Vikings a 28–25 win. It was the Saints' first loss to the Vikings since 2017, giving them their worst start to a season since 2016.

The Cardinals found themselves up 28–14 because of these key defensive plays despite trailing New Orleans 14–6 at the start of the second quarter. The Cardinals would continue their dominance throughout the third quarter, holding the Saints to a field goal while scoring a touchdown of their own to go up 35–17, their largest lead of the night. In the fourth quarter, despite a late Saints rally in which they outscored Arizona 17–7 to cut the lead to just 8, the Cardinals held on for a thrilling 42–34 victory. The loss marked the first time since the 2015 season that the Saints were beaten by the Cardinals.
