Saints' Rizzi Told Himself 'You're Going to Change All This S--t' Before Falcons Win

New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi was confident in himself prior to the team's 20-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

"Just as I said to the team after the game, I've never been a part of something like this," Rizzi told Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. "I said to myself, You're going to change all this s--t."

The Saints dismissed former head coach Dennis Allen on Nov. 4, promoting Rizzi from special teams coordinator to his current interim coaching role.

New Orleans ended a seven-game losing streak on Sunday and improved to 3-7 on the season as a whole.
