Latest news and updates about the Falcons
The Falcons are likely to be without their top receiver this Sunday as they head to MetLife Stadium to take on the Jets. London is having a fantastic season. He has gone over 100 receiving yards in five of his last six games. He did, however, miss Atlanta’s Week 12 win over the New Orleans […]
Look, I know. I get it. It’s hard to get too excited about a wide receiver that a 2-9 team was all like “Yeah, get on outta here ya rascal” when he asked for his release. It’s maybe even harder to get there when the receiver is on the wrong side of 30 and where […]

Lost seasons are always difficult to digest, especially when your team is approaching nearly a decade of not making the playoffs. A franchise that has been aggressive in acquiring talent can’t possibly be looking toward 2026 before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, that’s where the Falcons stand at a time of uncertainty across the organization. A feel-good win […]
After a much-needed hate week victory, the Falcons look slightly less hapless. They’re also, against all odds and reason, still in the NFC South race with the Panthers looking mediocre and the Buccaneers collapsing in slow motion. You have to win the easy games to even entertain that thought, though. That means beating the Saints, […]
In a move that is not so surprising, the New Orleans Saints have released kicker Blake Grupe, who has struggled tremendously this season, missing a total of eight kicks through 11 games including two on Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old was signed by Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2023, beating […]
The Falcons took down the rival Saints to snap a 5-game losing streak in Week 12.

The New Orleans Saints were embarrassed in front of their home crowd on Sunday, falling 24-10 to the rival Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season at Caesars Superdome.

Offensive woes continue to plague the New Orleans Saints. Most recently, they fell at the hands of division rival Atlanta Falcons in a 24-10 home loss. The team’s overall record stands at 2-9, and next up, they will travel to Miami for a meeting against the 4-7 Dolphins. Here’s how fans reacted to the recent […]
The New Orleans Saints were back from their bye week with a home tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a quick look back on all the action from Sunday. First Quarter The visitors were instantly forced to punt after a three-and-out, but had the ball back just as quickly after a Saints fumble on their […]
The Good: Defense Not a whole lot went well for the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, but if anything was better than the others it was the defense. They forced five punts, sacked Kirk Cousins three times, and held Atlanta to 3/12 on 3rd down. The play of the day for the defense was a […]
Saints to host kicker try-outs after disappointing loss against the Falcons Finally, the first move was made for a new kicker. 3 Brandin Cooks Landing Spots After Saints Saga Ends The former Saints WR cleared waivers, so where could the veteran go next?

Sunday’s loss was a microcosm of a 2-9 season that has gone off the rails. The Saints didn’t just lose to a division rival, they lost because they couldn’t execute the basics and nothing is more basic in the modern NFL than a kicker hitting from inside 50 yards indoors. The Grupe Error Blake Grupe’s […]
With the Atlanta Falcons getting a win this week, the Los Angeles Rams have dropped back outside of the top 10 in the first-round. If the Rams do drop outside of the top 10, it will make it slightly more difficult to draft a quarterback if that’s something that they end up doing. We’re getting […]

This has been a season from hell. Michael Penix, Jr. is out for the season, Drake London was out for this game, and the playoffs are essentially an afterthought. But at least we’re not the New Orleans Saints. The Atlanta Falcons retake the lead in the all-time series, 57-56, rightfully pushing the Saints back to […]
It’s already Week 13 in the NFL and the New Orleans Saints are now 2-9 on the season after losing 24-10 to their archrivals, the Atlanta Falcons. In a game that could have easily been won if not for some missed field goals and missed opportunities in the red zone, the Saints are now facing […]
