The New Orleans Saints are facing off against the Atlanta Falcons at the perfect time. The Falcons defense has been playing horrible, and it sets up a golden opportunity for Tyler Shough to impress fans, the coaching staff, and the national media. This is the next step towards him being the starter in 2026.
The Falcons lost to the Panthers 27-30 last week and Bryce Young threw for a franchise record 448 passing yards and three touchdowns. For reference, Young threw for 124 yards and an interception against the Saints just a week prior.
The Falcons defense made Young look like a different player.
