The Atlanta Falcons and Saints renew their bitter rivalry in the early portion of the season, with the winner poised to break the deadlock in their head-to-head record, which sits at 55-55. These teams split the season series last year after being in the same spot they were in going into that first matchup in 2023, deadlocked at 54-54.
Just like last season, if the Saints win this first matchup they will take the lead in the all time head to head series for the first time since winning the first ever matchup, in 1967.
Overall, New Orleans finally closed the gap to tie the series in the Arthur Smith era, where they went an overall 4-2.
