The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints meet in a Week 4 NFC South matchup at 8:15 p.m. on “Monday Night Football” at the Caesars Superdome, airing on ESPN and ABC.
Both teams enter 1-2, and the winner will move into a tie with the Carolina Panthers (2-2) atop the division. A Falcons win does come with a catch, though: Carolina beat Atlanta in Week 2 and would hold the top of the league. The loss falls to 1-3, a game ahead of the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Falcons stunned coming off the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, as Michael Penix Jr. provided an offensive spark in his return from a knee injury. First-round pick Drake London had a career-high 194 receiving yards in the victory, while All-Pro running back Bijan Robinson ran for 213 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns.
The Saints have found a spark of their own this season under starting quarterback Tyler Shoh, averaging 305.7 passing yards per game with eight touchdowns and three interceptions through the first three weeks of the season. He continues to build a strong relationship with Chris Olave, who has caught eight-plus carries in every game this season, including two hundred-plus receiving carries.
