Not just because we enjoyed watching the Atlanta Falcons smack the New Orleans Saints around their home stadium. Not only as a reminder that winning is preferable to losing, although that message certainly needed to be driven home. Not because it keeps them mathematically alive in the playoff hunt; there are too many variables out of their control to be real hope.
We were, for the first time all season, allowed to see what the talent on this Falcons team could do when properly coached, schemed and inspired.
It was an impressive display, and easily the most complete game we’ve seen from them since 2016.
