The Atlanta Falcons go up against their most hated rival today in the New Orleans Saints. This division rivalry is, without a doubt, one of the most intense in the league. No matter how either team is doing record-wise, these games are almost always seriously competitive because they know each other very well. Also, having a real disdain for your competition is always its own motivator.
There will obviously be some caveats to today’s game considering that Drew Brees is on injured reserve, but there still are some Falcons that need to make an impact for the Falcons to beat the Saints.
