What should the Atlanta Falcons be most worried about heading into this game?

JH: The Saints wide receiver combo of Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks is very underrated. Many reading this probably have no idea who Willie Snead is, but he’s led the team in receptions this year. He runs very polished routes in addition to having good hands. Also, you can’t forget about C.J. Spiller, despite the misuse of him through the first several weeks of the season.

This is a historic rivalry, and it’s a game that always gets circled when the schedule comes out. What’s your favorite Falcons-Saints memory? And be kind.

JH: The good news is that both teams have plenty to brag about from this rivalry. Most every time these two meet, you know you’re getting a close affair. I could give you all sorts of moments from the rivalry that has been memorable, but the obvious favorite is the Steve Gleason blocked punt.

You have to remember that the Michael Vick-led Falcons had the Saints number for a while, and this was the game that ended up turning the tide, so to speak. It’s obviously worth mentioning Mike Smith’s failed fourth downs, Brees’ record, Pierre Thomas touchdowns (trust me, I’m sure Falcons fans are glad he’s gone) and the Roman Harper interception to seal the game as obvious nominees.
