Falcons vs. Saints: A History

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have been divisional rivals in the NFL’s NFC South since the Saints joined the league in 1967 (with the Falcons entering in 1966). Over 111 total meetings through the 2024 season, the series is one of the closest in NFL history, with the Saints holding a narrow all-time edge.

Key Highlights

  • Overall Record: Saints lead 56-55. This includes regular-season games only; the teams have not met in the playoffs.
  • Home/Road Splits (approximate, based on historical trends):
    • Saints at home: 34-20
    • Falcons at home: 35-22
  • Recent Trends: The Falcons dominated the 1990s (winning 12 of 16 from 1996-2002), but the Saints have owned the rivalry since 2006, going 20-8 against Atlanta. Notable Saints streaks include 7 straight wins from 2009-2013 and another 6 from 2018-2023.
  • Memorable Games:
    • November 26, 1967: Saints’ inaugural win, a 27-24 thriller in New Orleans—the franchise’s first-ever victory.
    • October 1, 2009: Saints’ 27-13 “Minnie the Moocher” overtime upset at home, fueled by a blocked punt return TD; part of their Super Bowl XLIV run.
    • December 23, 2018: Saints’ 31-10 rout in Atlanta, highlighted by a failed 2-point conversion attempt by the Falcons (later dubbed “28-3(m)” in ironic Falcons fan lore, tying back to their own Super Bowl collapse).
    • September 11, 2022: Falcons’ 27-26 comeback win on the road, snapping an 8-game Saints skid against them—their most recent victory as of 2024.
  • Scoring Averages: Saints average ~23.5 points per game in the series; Falcons ~22.8. High-scoring affairs are common, with 20+ total points in over 70% of meetings.

The rivalry often features intense, physical play reflective of the South’s football culture, with games frequently impacting playoff seeding.

Final Word
