ATLANTA — For all the mistakes and fluky bounces, for all the key injuries that kept some stars out and limited others, the New Orleans Saints still had a chance to steal a win against their most bitter rival in the final minutes.

In a contentious rivalry so close that the teams were tied at 55 victories apiece it's no surprise that Sunday's game between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons went down to the wire at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 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. See More >>

Atlanta – For the second consecutive week, the New Orleans Saints did a much better job of beating themselves than did an opponent.

Atlanta – Getting out of their own way turned out to be the insurmountable object for the New Orleans Saints in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
