ATLANTA -- The New Orleans Saints added more injury and insult to their tumultuous 2021 season Sunday.
First they lost quarterback Taysom Hill to a foot injury in the second quarter Sunday. Then they had to watch their playoff hopes disappear in gut-wrenching fashion from the postgame locker room.
The Saints (9-8) stayed in contention with a 30-20 victory at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. But they were eliminated a few minutes later when the San Francisco 49ers came from behind to beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-24 in overtime.
