The Atlanta Falcons once again renew the ugliest and meanest rivalry in the NFL when they travel to New Orleans for a face off against the hated Saints. These two teams met in Week 1 this season, and with a victory in that game New Orleans put themselves in position to do something monumental and decades in the making — they have a chance to finally the tie Atlanta in the head-to-head series history with a victory this weekend.
The Birds’ lead in the series history is razor thin at the moment, 54-53. After losing the first ever head-to-head matchup in 1967, Atlanta won in 1969 to even the series at 1-1, and that was the last time these teams have been tied.
