Live scores, highlights and updates from the Saints vs. Falcons football game
3rd Quarter Report
The Saints already have more points against the Falcons than they managed in total against the Buccaneers last Sunday. The Saints have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead the Falcons 31-17.
If the Saints keep playing like this, they'll bump their record up to 9-8 in no time. On the other hand, the Falcons will have to make due with a 7-10 record unless they turn things around (and fast).
Preview
The Atlanta Falcons will head out on the road to face off against the New Orleans Saints at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Caesars Superdome. The Falcons might want some stickum for this match since the team gave up four turnovers on Sunday.
Atlanta gave up the first points and the most points. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 37-17 punch to the gut against the Bears.
Nobody from Atlanta had a standout game, but they got scores from Tyler Allgeier and Taylor Heinicke.
Meanwhile, the Saints beat the Buccaneers 23-13 on Sunday. New Orleans pushed the score to 20-0 by the end of the third, a deficit Tampa Bay cut but never quite recovered from.
Juwan Johnson and Derek Carr were among the main playmakers for the Saints as the former picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown and the latter threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
The Saints have used their receiving core heavily this season, as 63.8% of their passes have been to wide receivers this season. The team tried something a little different on Sunday though, as only 38.7% of the QB's passes went to receivers. Given they posted a dismal 4.4 yards per play the Saints probably won't be trying that again any time soon.
Atlanta's loss dropped their record down to 7-9. As for New Orleans, the win got them back to even at 8-8.
The Falcons are hoping to beat the odds on Sunday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last three times they've played the Saints.
