00:00A close game in the mix. Saints taking on the Falcons, another in-division

00:06toe-to-toe battle. Falcons came out on top 26-24. Defensive battle in the

00:11beginning, but regardless, Kirk Cousins and company continue to shine. You got

00:16Drake London who led the wide receiving group with 64 receiving yards. You got

00:20Kirk Cousins 238 passing yards, one interceptions, no passes to the

00:25touchdown zone though. They open the scoring, but the Saints continue to

00:28respond every time the Falcons started to get ahead. What'd you see in this one?

00:32Oh, what I saw in this one is, I'm gonna say a bit of a fluky game, and I

00:37partially want to say that because I was on the under in this game, but you know

00:42we saw the Falcons, they didn't score any offensive touchdowns. We saw their

00:47touchdowns come from defense and special teams. So yeah, the Falcons won. I was on

00:52the Falcons as well as on the Falcons on the under, so I got one of them right, but

00:55I would say ran on the bad side of variance because of those fluky

00:58touchdowns. We are continuing to see Kyle Pitts play basically no role in the

01:04Falcons passing offense, and we also saw Bijan Robinson play a very, very

01:09limited role, which Raheem Morris had some comments after the game with saying

01:13he wanted a role with Tyler Algier a bit more. You know, something that likes a

01:17good amount of consistency when it comes to backfields. Robinson is a player that

01:20again should be pushing towards 20 total touches. When he has seven carries for

01:2428 yards and only four receptions like that's not good enough. He is too good

01:29to not have the ball in his hands. So ultimately, I think the Falcons need to

01:32get a few things worked out on offense. You know, I said when we previewed this

01:36game last weekend and on Thursday, like this was a huge game for the Saints

01:41because they started off to know there's more 90 points of doing this, that the

01:44other thing they're now two and two, like they fell back down to earth. They

01:47also had no passing touchdowns from car and the touchdowns that they had came

01:51from the running game, two of which came from Jason Hill, who is now hurt. I

01:54think he had an abdominal, so it's a bit all over the place for the Saints. I

01:58still think they need to have a lobby and Rashid. Shahid has the two options

02:02in the past conference, which they did have just want to see him find the end

02:05zone.
