In a crucial early-season divisional matchup, the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints battle at the Caesars Superdome on Monday night.
Both teams are 1-2 and are looking for a win to tie the 2-2 Carolina Panthers for the NFC South lead. While they both have a losing record, things seem to be moving in the right direction for both franchises.
The Falcons are fresh off an impressive win at Green Bay against the Packers last week in Michael Penix Jr.'s season debut. It took a little white for him to get going, but once he found a connection with receiver Drake London, he showed off why he was picked in the first round.
The dynamism of Bijan Robinson, London, and Penix Jr. make this Falcons team dangerous if they can continue their success on that side of the ball. The defense, even without Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr., will be solid throughout the year.
The Saints lost to the Las Vegas Raiders last week, but they've been in every game and are a few plays away from being 3-0. Quarterback Tyler Shough has struggled with turnovers, but he's also made plenty of plays with his arm and legs that show he's a starting-caliber QB.
Wide receiver Chris Olave has been one of the most productive pass-catchers of the season so far, hauling in 27 receptions for 375 yards and a touchdown in three games.
