A look back at the history between the Saints and Falcons

The upcoming Monday night matchup in New Orleans marks the 114th meeting between two historical NFC South adversaries. Atlanta currently holds a narrow all-time series lead with fifty-eight victories compared to fifty-six for New Orleans, which includes just one prior postseason clash back in December of 1991 when the visiting squad triumphed twenty-seven to twenty.

Beyond regular divisional battles, both franchises share an unforgettable history highlighted by the memorable September evening in 2006 when football returned to the city following a major hurricane. Steve Gleason provided a crucial blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone by Curtis Deloatch, setting the tone for a twenty-three to three victory.

Broadcasters Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Laura Rutledge, and Lisa Salters will cover the upcoming anniversary contest.
