This week's Monday Night game featured NFC South rivals fighting for playoff honors, as the New Orleans Saints traveled to Atlanta to face the division leading Falcons. Garrett Hartley opened the scoring for the Saints by kicking a first quarter field goal of 52 yards. New Orleans took the lead to 10-0 with Pierre Thomas running in for a touchdown of 2 yards and an extra point by Hartley. Atlanta answered with Matt Ryan passing 7 yards for the touchdown to Roddy White, and Matt Bryant providing the extra point. The Saints led the Falcons 10-7 going into halftime and throughout the scoreless third quarter. The Falcons took a lead with Chauncey Davis intercepting Drew Brees for 26 yards and the touchdown, and Bryant's extra point made it 14-10 for Atlanta. However, Brees threw one to the right team later, connecting for 6 yards with Jimmy Graham for the touchdown. Hartley was good on the point after. The Falcons could not manage a comeback, and fell 17-14 to their rivals, with the Saints jumping up to 11-4, and the Falcons falling to 12-3.
