NEW ORLEANS – For only the second time in the rivalry's history, the Falcons and Saints will play their second game in the span of three weeks.
The winner of Sunday's matchup in New Orleans will clinch a playoff spot, and the Saints can wrap up the NFC South with a win and a Panthers loss to the Bucs. If the Falcons win, they remain in control of their fate in the division and can repeat as NFC South champions with a victory over the Panthers in Week 17.
