Atlanta found a way to win an important divisional matchup against the Saints in Week 4 by a final score of 26-24 despite failing to record an offensive touchdown. The Falcons opened the scoring early in the first quarter after New Orleans’ Rashid Shaheed muffed a punt that was recovered in the end zone by KhaDarel Hodge. Later in the game, linebacker Troy Andersen intercepted a Derek Carr pass and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. The rest of Atlanta’s points would come via the right leg of kicker Younghoe Koo, including the game-winning 58-yard field goal with two seconds to play.

Running back Bijan Robinson was quiet on the ground, rushing just seven times for a total of 28 yards. However, he did reel in four catches for 46 yards. Tyler Allgeier received eight carries and was more efficient, tallying 60 rushing yards.
