Falcons vs. Saints: Ten things the Falcons must do to beat the Saints

The Atlanta Falcons (5-0) are looking to maintain their perfect start when they enter the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints (1-4) on Thursday Night Football. The records may suggest this will be a walkover, but the stat sheets can go out the window in a rivalry game like this.

The Saints rely heavily on Drew Brees and it’s offense. The defense struggled last season, and hasn’t shown much life this year either. Finding a way to slow down Brees and start fast on offense will be key.

So what do the Falcons need to do to remain undefeated and walk out of New Orleans with a victory?
