Shades of 2010, same matchups but in opposite stadiums. Reverse conditions. Saints needed a Panthers win (Panthers lost to pick 1st overall) and the Saints also needed to beat the Bucs to get the top seed (I think it’d have conveyed as a 2-seed for the Saints but a 1-seed for the Falcons).
Falcons jumped out to a huge lead on the Panthers but the Saints still had to play hard - and in the process lost several key players, six days after beating Atlanta on the road and six days before going to Seattle for a game vs. a 7-9 division winner. We know how that ended.
