New Orleans Saints fans have some new trash talk for the Atlanta Falcons after Thursday night's game as the Falcons' 2018 regular-season opener, an 18-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, drew higher ratings in New Orleans than it did in Atlanta.
According to a release from NBC Sports, the New Orleans market had the second highest viewership of any that tuned in Thursday night. Atlanta came in third.
Philadelphia topped all markets for NFL Kickoff with 32.9/54 overnight; while Atlanta ranked #3 with 19.8/36 (behind New Orleans 24.6/35)

Philadelphia naturally had the highest ratings of any market.
