The Atlanta Falcons enter Week 12 with their backs against the wall. Their 30-27 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers saw them lose arguably their two most important offensive pieces go down in Drake London and Michael Penix Jr.—and Penix will miss the remainder of the season with a partially torn ACL.
And in Week 12, the entire season hangs in the balance. The Dirty Birds will face the New Orleans Saints for the first time this season. This trip to the Big Easy will also come with a surprise appearance from Drew Brees, but it also will be tougher since London won't play on Sunday due to a PCL sprain.
