Saints player to watch

S Tyrann Mathieu. He had an interception in the end zone against Philadelphia, giving him three takeaways in three games. Mathieu has two interceptions and a forced fumble, which he also recovered. He will look to increase his overall record against an Atlanta team that is minus-2 in turnovers this season.

Falcons player to watch

RB Bijan Robinson. The second-year player will have something to prove after suffering a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-1 in the final minute to secure Kansas City’s victory. Robinson was a key part of the Falcons’ offense in the first two weeks, as he had 32 carries for 165 yards rushing and nine catches for 68 yards receiving. But the Chiefs largely shut him down, limiting Robinson to 31 yards on 16 carries. Other than a 17-yard reception, he didn’t have a play longer than 7 yards.

Key match

Atlanta’s offensive line vs. New Orleans’ defensive line. Chase Young, Carl Granderson and eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan will look to increase the pressure on Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, who was sacked twice and had 10 hits in the loss to the Chiefs. Atlanta struggled to keep Cousins ​​clean after two starters – center Drew Dalman and right tackle Kaleb McGary – were sidelined with injuries. Longtime Saints star Jordan is playing a more limited role in his 14th season. He’s now third in the Saints rotation behind Young and Granderson and is still looking for his first sack, tackle for loss and QB hurry this season.

Major injuries

The Saints suffered a major blow to their offensive line when C Erik McCoy suffered a groin injury against the Eagles. He needs surgery and will be sidelined for six to eight weeks. The Saints ruled out two other starters: offensive right guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) and linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring injury). … The Falcons are also doing poorly on offense. Dalman was placed on the injured list with a sprained ankle, while McGary was sidelined with a bad knee. Ryan Neuzil starts at center in place of Dalman and Storm Norton takes over at right tackle for McGary.

Notes on the series

One of the NFL’s most bitter rivalries began in 1967, when the Saints entered the league as an expansion team a year after the Falcons were founded. With the merger of the NFL and AFL in 1970, they were placed in the same division and have met twice a year in every season since. The result of all these games? Each team has won 55 times. … The Falcons dominated in the early years, but the Saints have had the upper hand in recent seasons with 10 wins in the last 13 meetings. … With a 21:18 home win in 2022, the Saints evened the series record (54:54) for the first time since 1969. … It will remain in place even after the games are split in 2023. … The only time the Saints led the series was after the very first meeting in 1967, a 27-24 win at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans.

Statistics and stuff

The Falcons have hit third down just 2 of 9 times in each of their first three games, making them 6 of 27 (22.2%) on the season. … The Saints have allowed just four touchdowns this season. … The Falcons were dominated in terms of time of possession in all three games. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia both had a lead of more than 10 minutes, while the Chiefs finished with a lead of 34:57-25:03. … Atlanta wants to reach 2-2 for the third time in a row. The Falcons haven’t had a winning season since 2017 and haven’t made the playoffs either. … New Orleans punted five times against the Eagles after punting just once in each of the first two games. … Atlanta LT Jake Matthews has started 164 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL. … The Falcons have allowed four touchdowns on 11 red zone opportunities to opposing offenses. … New Orleans scored just one touchdown last week after getting into the end zone 11 times in the first two games. … Saints RB Alvin Kamara had 127 scrimmage yards (87 rushing, 40 receiving) in Week 3, joining Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley as one of two NFL players to have at least 110 scrimmage yards in each of his first three games this season. Kamara leads the NFL in scrimmage yards with 417. … Mathieu has 35 interceptions, tied with Minnesota’s Harrison Smith for the most as an active player. Mathieu had three INTs in two games against the Falcons last season. … Saints WR Chris Olave received 86 yards receiving last week, his second straight game eclipsing 80 yards. … Atlanta S Justin Simmons was targeted just six times in 81 coverage snaps this season and allowed two receptions for 12 yards when he was the closest defender in coverage, according to Next Gen Stats.

Fantasy tip

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney is on the rise after a few poor seasons with the Chicago Bears. He is a low-key signing from the Falcons in free agency and has 11 receptions for 154 yards over the last two weeks. Mooney gives Cousins ​​another inviting option on the outside alongside Drake London.
