The Atlanta Falcons are hoping to end their three-game losing streak and take back first place in the NFC South as they face off against the New Orleans Saints. Both teams are coming off losses, but the Falcons are fresh off their bye week and are looking to get their season back on track. With a record of 4-6, a win could be crucial for the Falcons' playoff hopes.

The Saints, on the other hand, had their two-game winning streak snapped in their last game against the Minnesota Vikings. Despite the loss, they still maintain a one-game lead over the Falcons in the division with a record of 5-5.

The Falcons will be starting second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder, who came off the bench in their last game and led the team to a lead-changing touchdown drive. Ridder's performance has earned him the starting job back, and the Falcons will be hoping for more from their young quarterback.

The game is a must-win for both teams, as they are battling for first place in a division that lacks a team with a winning record. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m., and the outcome of this NFC South showdown could determine the trajectory of both teams' seasons.
