Highlight of the game: The Atlanta Falcons found themselves in an early hole down 20-7 but outscored the saints 27-14 in the second half and over time to win a thrilling game.

Matt Bryant nailed a 52-yard field goal in OT to give the Falcons the win, but their season would not wind up how they had planned. The Falcons won just six games in 2014.
