New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons live stream: How to watch
By John Buhler
The Atlanta Falcons will host the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night in Week 14. Here is how to watch this NFC South rivalry game online via streaming.
We are now in the final quarter of the 2017 NFL season. Week 14 is upon us and we have ourselves one of the best rivalries in football to kick us off on Thursday night. The Atlanta Falcons (7-5) will host the hated New Orleans Saints (9-3) for Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be at 8:25 p.m. ET on Dec. 7.
New Orleans enters play at 9-3 on the season and in first place in the ultra-competitive NFC South. The Saints lead the Carolina Panthers (8-4) by a game after last Sunday’s win to complete the season sweep. Atlanta is two games back of the Saints with two annual meetings left between these two rivals.
The Saints would be the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs if the season ended today. This team has won nine of its last 10 games, including eight in a row at one point. Their only loss since September was two weeks ago on the road against the NFC West leader Los Angeles Rams (9-3).
Atlanta enters play at 7-5 on the season and in third place in the NFC South. The Falcons are two games back of the Saints in the NFC South and a game back of the Seattle Seahawks (8-4) for the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture. The Falcons are coming off a close home loss to the Minnesota Vikings in a game where Atlanta didn’t get into the end zone.
Fortunately for the Falcons, they only play NFC South games the rest of the way. They will face the Saints twice in a three-week span, with a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-8) in Week 16 and a regular season finale at home versus the Carolina Panthers (8-4). If Atlanta goes 3-1 the rest of the way, the Falcons should be able to get in as a wild card team at 10-6.
