Falcons bring consistent pressure, look like different team in upset
NEW ORLEANS -- Maybe that speech from Julio Jones had an effect. Or maybe switching receivers coach Raheem Morris over to the secondary made a significant an impact.
Whatever the case, the Atlanta Falcons looked like a totally different team Sunday against the rival New Orleans Saints. For one afternoon, they actually appeared capable of competing with any team in the league.
The Falcons didn't look like the same team that started the season 1-7 and had dropped six games in a row. This was a team determined to silence the critics and show it had enough talent on the roster to take down the mighty Saints, even on the road.
