The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons are set to renew the NFL's best rivalry to wrap up the 2025 season. Here's a look back at their history.

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, and in doing so, hurt the Rams' 2026 NFL draft positioning. The two teams pulled off a draft day trade in 2025, with the Falcons sending their 2026 first-rounder to Los Angeles to move up for James Pearce Jr.

Atlanta's Bijan Robinson leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage and has been a "Monday Night Football" star this season.

Bijan Robinson put on another stellar performance, setting the franchise record for yards from scrimmage in a season after his 229 total yards pushed his season total to 2,255. He had an electrifying 93-yard touchdown run in the first half that was also a team record.

The Saints-Falcons Week 18 finale could decide the winner of the NFC South, but it wouldn't be either of them. Other teams' fate is in their hands.

A win by the Panthers over the Bucs on Saturday clinches the NFC South. If the Bucs win, the Falcons-Saints game on Sunday comes into play.

The Atlanta Falcons defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 27-24, at Mercedes Benz Stadium on December 29, 2025 and The Sporting Tribune's Robin Alam was there to capture the following TST Images.

The Atlanta Falcons' 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night eliminated the New York Jets from contention for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

The Atlanta Falcons rookie tied Deion Sanders for the most interceptions for a rookie on Monday Night Football.

If the Buccaneers beat the Panthers and then the Falcons follow that up on Sunday with a win over the Saints, that would create a three-way tie at 8-9 and the Panthers would the division in that scenario due to having the best head-to-head record among all three teams.
