Saints steamrolled by Falcons in biggest upset of season

NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Saints suffered the most improbable loss of the season on Sunday when they got steamrolled in their own Superdome, 26-9, by the rival Atlanta Falcons.

The Saints were favored by 13.5 points according to Caesars Sportsbook - the biggest favorites to lose a game this season.

New Orleans was 7-1 heading into the game, having won six straight. The Falcons were 1-7, losers of six straight. And the Saints were expected to be even more explosive with top offensive players Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook returning from injuries.
