The Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints have one of the most intense rivalries in all of football. These two NFC South foes will face off for the first time this season on Monday Night Football to close out NFL Week 4.
Tonight's prime-time matchup will commemorate the 20-year anniversary of the Saints' infamous "Domecoming" game, and because of this, we expect the crowd at the Caesars Superdome to be a major factor.
While the division rivals are each 1-2 entering Week 4, you could make a real case that both teams are better than their records reflect. The Saints offense has been great but their defense has struggled to close out games.
The Falcons are 1-0 with Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback this season, while Saints second-year QB Tyler
Shough is off to an impressive start. Tonight's NFC South showdown starts at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
