Falcons vs. Saints GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Lines, Tickets

The New Orleans Saints host the Atlanta Falcons today. Here's everything you need to know.

Jeremy Brener | Dec 18, 2022

The Atlanta Falcons (5-8) are back in action after their bye as they travel to the Big Easy to face their NFC South rival in the New Orleans Saints (4-9).

The biggest storyline heading into the game comes with Atlanta rookie Desmond Ridder making his first NFL appearance at quarterback, taking over for Marcus Mariota after he was benched and subsequently placed on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Both teams have work to do if they want to make the playoffs, and the loser of this game will have their postseason hopes shot down tremendously.

The Falcons sit one game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) for first place in the division, while the Saints are two back. Atlanta has lost three of four, so the team is hoping today's game will spark some momentum heading into the last quarter of the year.
