3 best Atlanta Falcons wins over Saints during the past decade

3) Week 10, 2019: Falcons upset the Saints in a 26-9 blowout win

If you have been watching Atlanta for at least a couple years, then you should remember this signature win. 

The Falcons were not a good team and were not given much of a chance to beat their rivals leading up to the game, they were on a six-game losing streak.

The defense had been absolutely awful, allowing a stunning 202 points during that six-game skid.

Meanwhile, the Saints were coming off of two straight games of scoring more than 30 points, so the odds were easily in New Orleans’s favor.

Somehow the Falcons defense was able to put a halt to a red-hot offense, only allowing nine points as a result of three field goals over the entire game. It was an insane turnaround by the Dan Quinn defense.

Grady Jarrett was the star of the game, as he constantly made life so difficult for Drew Brees. He was able to record 2.5 sacks while his Clemson teammate, Vic Beasley, recorded 1.5 sacks.

On the offensive side, no one player had a dominant game but out of everyone, Julio Jones had the most impressive performance as he totaled three catches for 79 yards, including a 54-yard catch.

This was such a fun game to watch as nothing was more entertaining than watching Drew Brees panic in the pocket resulting in an awful offensive performance by the Saints.
