Sunday’s regular-season finale will see the Atlanta Falcons square off against their hated rival, the New Orleans Saints, and has a lot of stakes involved.
For the Saints, it’s obvious. To keep their fleeting postseason hopes alive, they have to win this game. The Falcons, however, are playing for pride, since their playoff hopes ended in last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Instead, this game will be a proving ground for the team’s offensive line, especially right tackle Kaleb McGary. He will be facing one of the toughest individual matchups against Saints Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Jordan.
