Tomorrow’s the day. The hated Saints are coming to town to start the season, affording Atlanta a rare opportunity to hand their rival a loss and get the season off to a 1-0 start. We’ll soon see how all the spring and summer work to improve this roster and learn from last year’s mistakes will translate into the regular season, which is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time.

Naturally, you’re going to want to watch every second. If for some reason you hadn’t already made plans, cleared off your couch, and bought enough food and drink to carry a small army through Sunday afternoon, here’s what you’ll need to know to watch Falcons vs. Saints.

Key Questions: Is this new-look offense ready for a stiff test against a quality Saints defense? Can the Falcons get a pass rush going and hold Jameis Winston and a retooled New Orleans receiving corps in check? Will the Falcons win a matchup against their most bitter rival and start the season 1-0 for the first time since 2017?
