Run Vick run

let the game-winning field goal train continue. The Atlanta Falcons faced off with the hated New Orleans Saints in 2002 and were looking to push their record to 4-3 on the year. Behind 260 rushing yards the Falcons knocked off the Saints in dramatic fashion after Jay Feely drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired to win by two points.

Michael Vick rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns including a 32-yard TD in the fourth quarter and marched Atlanta into field goal range with two minutes left in the game. Atlanta converted 64 percent of their third downs while the Saints managed just 25 percent on third down.

The Falcons handed the Saints the loss after their best start since the 1991 season and still stands as one of the best games in Falcons, Saints history.
