Saints veteran Taysom Hill had nothing but kind words to say about rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who just made his first career NFL home start.

Cameron Jordan helped his resume for the Pro Football Hall of Fame against the Falcons. The Saints star surpassed Dwight Freeney in career sacks.

If Sunday was his last time in the home locker room at the Caeasars Superdome, Blake Grupe spent his final few moments packing his bag.

Five sacks on the day for the Falcons, who resembled the ferocious unit from week's past. The early returns are 24 pressures from Atlanta with Arnold Ebiketie and Leonard Floyd tied with five. Brandon Dorlus chipped in four pressures and a sack, while rookie James Pearce, Jr finished three pressures, two sacks, and a hurry.

ESPN's new 2026 mock draft has the Saints taking the first defender off the board at sixth overall. Arvell Reese could add a lot to their defense.

The Atlanta Falcons are still alive in the NFC South. Yes, you read that correctly. Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints gave the Falcons new life, however, it's more about what happened with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers than anything else.

The Saints have been loyal to kicker Blake Grupe despite his ups and downs, and on Sunday, he missed two kicks against the Falcons. He is making 69.2% of his kicks -- a career worst.

Training camp may move overseas someday, but the Saints are more interested in smaller steps. A week of practice in France or Monaco is in the works.
