Saints vs. Falcons: The most compelling story lines for Thanksgiving

There is nothing quite like having a heated rivalry take place on one of the best holidays of the year. For the second straight season, the Falcons and Saints are facing each other on Thanksgiving. Nobody is sure if this is going to become a yearly tradition. Based on how fired up both teams get when facing each other, it’s understandable to have this game on primetime.

Unfortunately for Dan Quinn, this could be his final game as head coach for this illustrious matchup. The pressure is back on following a disastrous loss to Tampa Bay. To face Sean Payton’s team, who will certainly be looking for revenge after what happened in the last meeting, doesn’t came at an ideal time.
