The Saints had little trouble extending their winning streak to 10 games on Thanksgiving with a 31–17 victory over the Falcons.
New Orleans stifled Atlanta all game as the visitors managed just 26 rushing yards in the contest and fumbled three times in Saints territory. QB Matt Ryan had 377 yards passing, but he was also sacked six times on the evening and had an interception.
On the other side of the ball, the Falcons made Drew Brees and the Saints offense work a bit, but the MVP candidate kept getting his team into the end zone when it mattered.
