I guess if I had to pick a weekend to be so sick I could barely get off the couch this would’ve been the weekend I’d have picked. Every one of these games has been a banger.

Saints can't overcome all that was missing, fall to the Falcons in regular season finale Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough engineered an impressive performance considering all that was missing, but it wasn't enough in a 19-17 loss.

Ronnie Bell, who came into today's game with eight career catches since entering the league in 2023, just made a one-handed touchdown grab to give the Saints a little bit of life.

Trailing 19-17 with no timeouts remaining, they need to recover an onside kick.

Tyler Shough finally made a mistake that the Falcons capitalized on: On third down in the red zone, he's picked off by Dee Alford, and the Falcons nickel flips the field with his return. Saints chances are not looking so good at the moment.

Chase Young is also up to 10 sacks on the year, adding to his personal best. Impressive considering the time he missed to start the season.

Follows that sack by blowing up a screen to Bijan Robinson on the next play.

Tyler Shough did something fun on fourth down again, but it's not going to count. His touchdown pass on fourth and goal is coming back because of an OPI

Holy hell that throw from Tyler Shough on fourth down. Rolling to his left, layering it above the flat defender. Chef's kiss.

I don't really get the point of that last challenge from Kellen Moore. The Saints just get three yards out of it, making it a third and 4 instead of a third and 7.

Falcons left Audric Estime completely uncovered on third down. Shough got to him late and probably missed the truly big play, but they do connect for 19 and the Saints are in Falcons territory.

Now Kelvin Banks Jr. is walking to the injury tent. He doesn't look happy. Not great for the Saints, who are already down a significant chunk of their regular offense.

I respectfully disagree. Charlie's been mostly very good for them. Fifty-six yarders are really difficult kicks.

Well, that's one way to respond after his fumble earlier. Great diving one-haded catch by Juwan Johnson moves the chains for the Saints.
