The New Orleans Saints defeated the Atlanta Falcons 17-13 in one of the NFL biggest rivalry games. Saints Quarterback Drew Brees had a great game passing for 278 yards and 2 touchdowns. Tight End Jimmy Graham led the Saints with 5 catches for 100 yards and 1 touchdown and Running Back Pierre Thomas led the team with 73 yards rushing on 10 carries. The Saints sweep the season series with the Falcons and improve to a NFC South best 9-2 record.

 

The Falcons are now 2-9 and definitely will not make the playoffs this season due too many injuries. Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan completed 30 out of 39 passes for 292 yards without any touchdowns or interceptions. Running Back Steven Jackson had 16 carries for 63 yards and scored the Falcons only touchdown of the game. The Falcons are on a five game losing streak and their first losing season since 2008.
