The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints meet on Monday Night Football in an NFC South battle to close out NFL Week 4.
Both teams enter the matchup with 1-2 records at Caesars Superdome with an opportunity to close the gap on the first-place Carolina Panthers (2-2). Atlanta and New Orleans both put up strong offensive performances in Week 3.
The Falcons picked up their first win of the season after Michael Penix Jr. and Bijan Robinson guided Atlanta to a 35-14 road win over the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, Tyler Shough and the Saints continue to score points, but New Orleans fell at home to the Las Vegas Raiders, 35-27.
KevIn Stefanski’s Falcons looked drastically improved with Penix at quarterback after Cooper Rush and Jack Strand appeared behind center two weeks ago. The 2024 first-round pick appears to be the QB1 moving forward while Tua Tagovailoa serves as backup.
