The Falcons came out strong. They jumped out to a 17-0 halftime lead. When the Bucs struck back, the Falcons answered initially. But over the course of the game, without a running game and as injuries started to mount in the secondary, they couldn't keep up with Tom Brady and wide receiver Antonio Brown. The Falcons dropped to 4-10 on the season and have the 5th spot in the upcoming draft.

Show notes

After going 12-4 and looking like a Super Bowl contender, the Los Angeles Chargers have hit some hard times.

Show notes

What's the problem? The Falcons' offense scored on touchdown in eight quarters against the Saints this season. We look at if the offensive woes should be attributed to offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's play-calling or to the lack of execution by the offensive players, including the offensive line, quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones.

The Falcons' game plan to upset Saints Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

In this NFC South rematch, the Falcons' offense, which ranked 10th in the league, will need to win its matchup with the Saints' defense, which is ranked No. 1 overall in the league. Quarterback Taysom Hill has not thrown a touchdown pass in his two starts for Drew Brees as they have leaned heavily on their rushing attack. The Saints are motivated as they are playing for the top seed in the NFC and to earn their fourth straight NFC South title.
