There are six remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL; three of them reside in the NFC, with two in the NFC South, a division which failed to have a single team above .500 in the regular season a year ago.
One of those two teams, the Atlanta Falcons, puts its 5-0 record on the line tonight against their bitter division rivals, the New Orleans Saints, with a chance to match their total of six wins from a year ago. Two of Atlanta's victories in 2014 came against the Saints, first in week one at the Georgia Dome and then in week 16 in Louisiana.
