Well rested off a bye week, it’s getting to be do-or-die time for the Atlanta Falcons, who currently sit at 4-6 and have only the struggles of their division to thank for not already being dead in the water.
Next, they face the arch rival New Orleans Saints who currently sit atop the division at 5-5 and are coming off a bye week of their own. It’s always explosive whenever these two teams meet given the shared history and geographic proximity, but an extra layer is added when their matchup has actual division implications.
