Falcons pathetically attempt to troll Saints fans

The Atlanta Falcons are trying to be clever with the release of the 2019 NFL schedule, in a video posted to the team's Twitter.

The video apes the opening sequence of HBO's Game of Thrones as NFL cities rise from the ground and the NFL mascots of various teams on the Falcons' schedule come into view.

When it gets to the Week 10 and Thanksgiving week matchups with New Orleans, the Dirty Birds attempt to get their digs in.

In the Week 10 segment, the "S" in Saints falls from a Saints billboard outside the Superdome, referencing the outdated "aints" epithet.

Then for the Thanksgiving game in Atlanta, as a figure carrying a saxophone leads a group of Saints fans towards Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a ram charges across the screen and knocks the figure down. That's followed by a referee running in to view signaling an incomplete pass.

You can watch the video below, but don't let it distract you from the fact that the Falcons blew a 25-point lead to lose Super Bowl LI.
