More on the matchup: The Saints and Falcons will close out their 2013 series on Thursday night. New Orleans won the last game by six points when Drew Brees threw for 357 yards and two touchdowns. Atlanta is a lot weaker since that first contest, wracked by injuries and struggling on both sides of the ball. Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez remain a dangerous combination, but the lack of a run game and suspect defense makes this a very difficult matchup for the high-powered Saints.
