Any time the Falcons can beat the New Orleans Saints, it is a great feeling. That was certainly the case Monday night for Matt Ryan and Co. The game on Monday Night Football was an offensive showcase for both teams. Combining for 77 points and 916 yards, both offenses definitely came to play. But ultimately it was Atlanta who ended up outscoring and outplaying the Saints for most of the evening in a thrilling victory.
For all the offensive success, the Falcon defense absolutely left something to be desired. Drew Brees carved up the Atlanta secondary for most of the night and the bone-headed penalties were prevalent again.
