The NFL left itself some leeway with the Week 15 game between the Falcons and Saints, leaving the date and time as to be determined. The thought was obviously that late in the year, both teams could be hanging around the playoff picture and flexing the game to the late afternoon (or even, as was rumored, Saturday) would make for an excellent showcase for the most bitter rivalry in the NFL.
Alas, it is not to be. The Saints may win tonight to give themselves a shot at unseating the Buccaneers and muddling the NFC South even further, but the league had no interest in moving a battle between two struggling teams with losing records into a prime slot.
