This year's games with the New Orleans Saints will take on additional meaning outside of the regular rivalry. Both teams are looking to retake control of the NFC South and the Saints were off to a historic start on offense before running into a roadblock vs Philadelphia last Sunday.
After running up the score on the Falcons last season the team has an additional axe to grind. But the team should be focused more on getting a win after a 1-2 start to the season. Head Coach Raheem Morris is more than ready to take on the challenge that this rivalry presents. He discussed the upcoming matchup during his weekly appearance on Dukes & Bell.
The Falcons will seemingly have their hands full with both the Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they battle for the division crown. The first test comes this Sunday at 1PM.
