The Saints (2-2) responded with a 9 play 70 yard drive with Taysom Hill evening the score at 7-7 on a 2 yard run. The Saints took a 14-7 lead on a 5 yard handoff to Hill. With the Saints leading 14-10, Derek Carr’s pass was deflected and intercepted for a pick 6 and Atlanta regained the lead 17-14. The Saints were clinging to a one point lead with 1:00 remaining in the game when a costly pass interference call on Paulson Adebo moved the ball 30 yards to the Saints’ 40 yard line, and though the Falcons would not gain anymore yardage, it was enough to provide Younghoe Koo with an opportunity to win the game for the Dirty Birds. The defense for New Orleans kept the Atlanta offense out of the end zone but the Falcons kicked four field goals, including Younghoe Koo’s game winning field goal. Koo was good from 58 yards which was the longest field goal made in Koo’s career and the longest field goal made in Atlanta’s new stadium. The ensuing kickoff was received and returned by Shaheed, lateraled to Jamaal Williams, who was tackled at the 15 yard line of the Saints as time expired. Despite missing two starters on the offensive line, The Saints only gave up one sack of Derek Carr, who finished the game 28 of 36 for 239 yards and an interception. Alvin Kamara finished with 119 yards from scrimmage, 77 yards rushing and 42 yards receiving with one rushing TD. Chris Olave and Shaheed each had 8 receptions for 87 and 83 yards respectively. Taysom Hill missed the week 3 matchup vs the Eagles and missed the second half of today’s game vs the Falcons, the difference in the way the Saints offense operates when Hill is not on the field has been noticeable during those six quarters. Hill’s ability to line up at any skill position has proven to be a difficult wrinkle for opposing coordinators to solve while also being Clint Kubiak’s greatest source of creativity. The Saints have scored 13 touchdowns while Hill has been on the field for the Saints, but only 2 touchdowns when Hill has been unavailable. Kirk Cousins finished the game 21 of 35 with an INT, but was able to lead the Falcons to the field goal opportunities that ultimately decided the game. Bijan Robinson had 7 carries for 28 yards and Tyler Allgeier had 8 carries for 60 yards. Drake London led Atlanta in receiving with 6 catches for 64 yards. In the end, injuries and self inflicted harm cost the Saints. Not having Demario Davis on defense and losing Willie Gay and Tyrann Mathieu made depth on the defensive side of the ball an issue. The Saints will travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs for their week 5 contest. It is still certainly not time to hit the panic button, but the Saints can ill afford to fall too far behind with the Bucs and Falcons ahead of them in the division standings. The Saints will host the Buccaneers in the dome for their week 6 matchup. **If your a Saints fan, tune into our YouTube Channel next Monday night at 8pm for our new live Saints podcast, Fleur De Lis Focus.
