After knocking off the Carolina Panthers 17–7 in Week 10 to snap a four-game losing streak, the New Orleans Saints enjoyed some much-needed rest last week. The team returns to action following their bye to host their NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons at 3:25 p.m. at the Caesars Superdome.

The Saints and the Falcons have met 111 times in the regular season. Four of the last six meetings between the two clubs have been by three points or fewer – including both meetings in 2024. The Saints defeated Atlanta, 20–17 at the Caesars Superdome on Nov. 10, with the Falcons' win being by a 26–24 edge in that season's first meeting on Sept. 29. The Falcons have lost five consecutive games after a 3–2 start and are coming off a 30–27 overtime loss to the Panthers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday.
