The New Orleans Saints, once a model of stability, find themselves in turmoil after firing head coach Dennis Allen, while the Atlanta Falcons appear to be on a more solid footing. This Sunday’s matchup could showcase a dramatic shift in fortunes between the two rivals.
Derek Carr’s struggles have been a significant factor for the Saints, with his inability to perform under pressure raising concerns. Meanwhile, the Falcons must capitalize on New Orleans' defensive gaps, particularly with key players missing.
Despite their poor record, the Saints have been effective at creating turnovers, but the absence of cornerback Marshon Lattimore could be detrimental. The Falcons are favored to win, but they must remain vigilant against their division rivals.
