The New Orleans Saints have killed the hopes of a perfect season for the Atlanta Falcons and it couldn't feel better! The Superdome rocked as the Saints took on Matt Ryan and the Atalanta Falcons in an exciting NFC South match up. It was a memorable, drama-filled game that left the Falcons frustrated by the 1 meager yard they could not get to take the lead inside the final 2 minutes of a 31-27 loss. Matt Ryan was 34 of 52 for a career best 411 yards and three touchdowns with one interception but it still wasn't enough to overcome the Saints. Drew Brees threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns as the Saints won for the fourth time in five games, keeping alive hope of getting back into the wild-card race after a 0-4 start. It was New Orleans' 11th win in 13 games against Atlanta since Brees joined the team. The Saints came in to this match-up allowing a league-worst 176.5 yards rushing per game but they held Atlanta to 46 yards on the ground. New Orleans rushed for 148 yards, highlighted by Chris Ivory's career long 56 yard scoring run that gave the Saints a spark after Atlanta jumped out with a quick 10-0 lead. Tight end Jimmy Graham was the primary weapon in the Saints passing game. Graham finished with a season high 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns, with all eight targets coming at least six yards downfield and gaining more yards after the catch than in his previous eight games combined. The win was a much needed one for the Saints and it couldn't have come at a better time or against a better foe than the Falcons.
