Let’s start the breakdown for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons!
Banks, once again, had a great game, which seems like more of an expectation rather than a hope. This week against the Falcons, it is going to be a challenge that the rookie must step up to. The Saints could be once again without RT Taliese Fuaga, and at least one side of the line needs to deal with the Falcons’ pass rush. QB Tyler Shough needs as much time as possible to pick apart Atlanta’s defense and win this game.

With the New Orleans Saints not playing a game in Week 11, their draft position was bound to drop, and that is precisely what happened. Right now, the Saints are projected to select at pick 4 in the draft, which still isn’t enough to unlock new prospects, so let’s see what happens if a trade back occurs.
One of the biggest risers this season, EDGE Cashius Howell has been making a name for himself as one of the best pass rushers in the country. So far, Howell has 11.5 sacks on the season, which brings his total...

The New Orleans and the Caesars Superdome will play host to the rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon in the teams’ first meeting of the 2025 season. Ahead of the matchup this weekend, New Orleans is tabbed as a slight favorite over the NFC South foe due in large part to injuries on the offensive side of the football for Atlanta.
Falcons’ starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and star wide receiver Drake London will both be out versus the Saints as a lack of health continues to derail the “dirty birds’” season. Penix suffered a partially torn ACL in Atlanta’s...

The New Orleans Saints finally won their first road game of the season and look to win back to back games for the first time this season. Now they get that chance, followings last week’s bye, against none other than their arch-rivals, the hated Atlanta Falcons. Last week, the Falcons lost their top receiver for this game, in Drake London, and lost their starting quarterback, Michael Penix Jr, for the season. This week enters the Saints’ old foe, Kirk Cousins, who regains the starting quarterback spot he lost in Atlanta last season. As the holidays quickly approach, the Saints will...

The Saints have the first of two matchups against divisional rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, who will be without a few key offensive personnel.
Adam Schefter reported that quarterback Michael Penix Jr had suffered a potentially season-ending injury against the Carolina Panthers, while Ian Rapaport revealed that a PCL strain will keep star wide receiver Drake London out of Sunday’s game in New Orleans.
The injuries will leave Atlanta without its top receiver, and Kirk Cousins will slide in to start at quarterback.
Penix has had a number of impressive games this season, though the Falcons are amidst a 5-game...
