Atlanta Falcons humble New Orleans Saints with 26-9 upset

The New Orleans Saints went into Week 10 facing their first NFC South opponent of the 2019 season, the Atlanta Falcons, as 14.0-point favorites in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Atlanta was able to notch only its second win of the season and handed New Orleans a tough pill to swallow.

The Saints no longer control their own destiny for the top seed in the NFC, as they would need to win out the rest of the regular season and hope the San Francisco 49ers fall to the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow night.

To start the game, both teams exchanged field goals before the Falcons put up 10 unanswered points in the second quarter.
