The New Orleans Saints have separated themselves from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South. The Saints are still trying to survive without their veteran quarterback Drew Brees. Backup quarterback Taysom Hill is looking to lead the Saints to his third straight win as a starting quarterback.
The Atlanta Falcons are trying to stay on the path. They have salvaged their season and have a shot at making the playoffs. The Falcons have pulled within two games of the final playoff spot in the NFC. Atlanta is coming into this game with seven starters that are questionable to play.
This game should be more competitive than the last meeting between the two teams in Week 11.
