Anytime the Falcons and Saints step on the same field, the stakes are high. This late in the season, this game is highly important for both teams — for New Orleans, a win means locking up the NFC South title and a step toward a first-round bye in the playoffs; for the Falcons, a win would keep their hopes of repeating as division champions alive. The last four meetings between these teams have been decided by three points, so buckle up for what is sure to be another epic chapter in this long rivalry.
