Not much about the Atlanta Falcons' 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday went as expected.
Atlanta entered the rivalry game undefeated against NFC South opponents, and had won five of six overall. The Saints had lost seven in a row and were playing their first game following the firing of head coach Dennis Allen.
