The New Orleans Saints will host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, as coach Sean Payton’s club attempts to turn its season around in front of a prime-time television audience.
Just a week after earning its first win of the season, New Orleans (1-4) hit rock bottom last Sunday with an ugly 39-17 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. After a respectable start in the game, the Saints trailed the Eagles by just three points at the half, but Philadelphia took control and thoroughly dominated the contest throughout the second half.
