There is no other rivalry in football that inspires the level of disgust and number of often hilarious barbs between fanbases that Atlanta Falcons - New Orleans Saints entails. Unfortunately, that rivalry has become a little too one-sided in recent years, to the detriment of Atlanta fans.
There’s an opportunity to start correcting that Sunday, and it comes at a critical moment for the Falcons. Win and they regain control of the NFC South; lose and they are in even bigger trouble than they already are, with any dreams of seizing the division going from faded to incorporeal.
