Saints at Falcons: Key Matchups to Watch

The New Orleans Saints take on their biggest rival, the Atlanta Falcons, in a marquee battle tonight on NFL's Thursday Night Football. This will be the 97th meeting between one of the league's most underrated rivalries.

Let's have a look at how these two squads stack up against each other at some of the "glamour positions" in this extremely important match up for both teams.
