FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons may have discovered a tight end stopper.
Veteran safety Charles Godfrey, who’s also played some nickel back over his career, is part of the reason why the Falcons have played better against tight ends as the season has progressed.
He’ll face another challenge when the Falcons (8-7) host the New Orleans Saints (6-9) at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
In the previous meeting, Saints tight end Ben Watson roamed freely around the Superdome as he snagged 10 passes for a then career-high 127 yards receiving and a touchdown.
