The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons face off for the second time this year, but the Saints will have a different head coach this time. Dennis Allen was dismissed this week, Darren Rizzi steps into his place for at least the remainder of the season. The first game of the Rizz era is against the hated rivals.
The rivalry’s all-time record is in favor of the Falcons, 56-55, due to this season’s earlier matchup. A muffed punt and perfectly deflected screen pass put 14 points on the board for Atlanta and were the deciding moments of the game.

Here are thee highlights from a few of the recent games in the rivalry:

Week 10 is upon us, and the New Orleans Saints have a high-profile rivalry game lined up with the Atlanta Falcons. Sure, the stakes aren’t exactly high after the week (and preceding months) the Saints have been through — but pride is on the line whenever the Falcons come to town.

Our staff writers made their picks for Week 10’s final score, with bold predictions in Sunday’s Saints-Falcons game. Here’s how we see this one playing out:

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi says placing wide receiver Chris Olave on injured reserve because of his concussion has not "been officially determined yet, but it's obviously on the table."

Marshon Lattimore's hamstring injury delays his Commanders debut

There was some belief that Marshon Lattimore would magically be healthy after the New Orleans Saints traded him to the Washington Commanders. This did not happen. Lattimore will miss at least one more game due to injury.

From a fan perspective, watching Lattimore line up against Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens would have been a fun matchup. A collateral benefit of this is he’s given the opportunity to study the Commanders playbook for more than just a few days. Conspiracy would even say they’re using a preexisting injury to give him extra time.

Earlier this week, we asked our readers to vote on whether they thought the New Orleans Saints could still turn this season around now that Dennis Allen is no longer the head coach.

Unfortunately, just 30% of voters think so.

Meanwhile, 52% of voters think that the Saints are headed in the right direction, which is a huge jump from the 4% just last week. That is no doubt due to the firing of Allen, something fans have been calling for to happen for a while now, As you can see, many are still unhappy and think that it happened way too late, as team has lost 7 straight and are in last...

Injured reserve is 'on the table' for Saints star wide receiver

Chris Olave won’t be active when the New Orleans Saints kick off with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and there’s at least a possibility the star wide receiver won’t play another down this season. Olave suffered the fourth concussion of his brief NFL career last week, which can have long-lasting impacts on his health and wellbeing.

All that’s certain is that Olave has already been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Beyond that, who can say?

“Everything’s on the table,” interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Friday, when injured reserve came up as a possibility for Olave. That determination hasn’t...

Alvin Kamara credits former teammate who chose to 'show me the way'

Barring anything unforeseen, Alvin Kamara will be the New Orleans Saints all-time leading rusher by Monday morning.

The team won’t have to try hard to get him the record. If the past two weeks are any indication, Kamara will cross that threshold on his first carry. He opened the last two games with runs of 20 or more yards.

Kamara’s only 12 yards away from toppling Mark Ingram II’s record set in 2021. He said his former teammate told him after last week’s game, “Good thing you can break it at home.” It’s something Ingram didn’t have the chance to do. He finished a home game against the...
