ATLANTA -- For the second time in three weeks, quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons found a way to win on their final drive despite having an uneven offensive performance throughout.

The Falcons beat their NFC South rival New Orleans Saints, 26-24, on Sunday here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on a career-long, 58-yard field goal from kicker Younghoe Koo with two seconds left.

Atlanta scored on defense -- a pick six of Derek Carr by linebacker Troy Andersen -- and on special teams, courtesy of a punt muffed by Saints returner Rashid Shaheed and a recovery in the end zone by Falcons special-teams ace KhaDarel Hodge.
