For all the trash talking done by Saints fans about the result of last year’s Super Bowl, a game those fans watched from their couches just like their favorite players, it’s worth remembering that the all-time series between Atlanta and New Orleans decidedly favors one team. That team, as you surmised from the headline, is not the Saints.
The Falcons have a 51-45 edge over the Saints, a team that has three fewer wins all-time and has been to six fewer playoff games in their history. They beat them early, they beat them late, and they really only stopped beating them during the Mike Smith years, which was deeply unfortunate.
