We’ve reached the end. Eighteen weeks after the 2021 season began, the Falcons are on the brink of finishing it, and fittingly that end will come against the Saints.

Atlanta’s stakes in this one are all pride and positioning, as a win or loss will move them around in the draft and nothing but a win will feel good against the hated Saints. The team will hopefully be healthier than they were against the Bills and ready to deliver a victory.

Here’s how you can watch the game today.

Key Questions: Will Kyle Pitts play? Can the Falcons put the brakes on the always obnoxious Taysom Hill? Will Matt Ryan’s pass protection hold up well enough for this passing game to get cooking before the season ends?
