Here are two things most individuals didn’t expect when the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints squared off on Sunday.
New Orleans would win because of its defense.
Atlanta would lose due to Steven Jackson.
Jackson dropped three passes in the course of the Falcons’ 23-17 loss to the Saints, however the largest miscue occurred on the most inopportune second. Atlanta took over on its 20-yard line with 3:12 remaining, however marched down the sphere and was on the 3-yard line with fifty four seconds remaining. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan attempted a pass to Jackson, but the operating again dropped the potential game-winning reception.
On the subsequent play, Ryan’s go to Tony Gonzalez was intercepted, and the Saints took over with 43 seconds remaining.
New Orleans’ protection – or lack thereof – was the team’s greatest query mark entering this yr, but the Saints recorded three sacks, compelled two fumbles and one interception during Sean Payton’s return to teaching after serving a one-12 months suspension in 2012.
