The Falcons score 16.3 points per game, comparable to the 14.7 per outing the Saints give up. New Orleans averages 34.3 points per game, 14.0 more than Atlanta surrenders (20.3). The Falcons collect 28 fewer yards per game (307.3) than the Saints give up per matchup (335.3).

Atlanta kicker Younghoe Koo drilled a 58-yard field goal with two seconds left to give his team a 26-24 win. The win improved Atlanta to 2-2 and dropped the Saints to 2-2. It was Koo's fourth field goal. The Falcons won despite not having an offensive touchdown.

The Saints let one slip away for the second week in a row, taking the type of loss that can “rip your heart out,” in the words of coach Dennis Allen. New Orleans managed to lose 26-24 to NFC South rival Atlanta on Sunday without giving up an offensive touchdown to the Falcons.
