In recent seasons, the back-and-forth between the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers has elevated the rivalry between the two southern ball clubs.
However, when it comes to deep-rooted, rivalries in the NFC South, no other duel trumps the friction that is between the Falcons and the New Orleans Saints. Through 93 games played between the two, the Falcons hold the lead with a 48-45 record as well as the most points scored against a particular opponent with 2,030. Last season, the Saints swept the series and provided two bitter losses for the Falcons and their disappointing 2015 season.
