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

The Falcons are coming off a stunning upset over the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, as quarterback Michael Penix Jr. gave the offense a spark in his return from a knee injury. Former first-round wideout Drake London had a career-high 194 receiving yards in the win, while All-Pro running back Bijan Robinson ran wild with 213 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns.
The Saints have found a spark of their own this season under starting quarterback Tyler Shough, 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 connection with Chris Olave, who’s had eight-plus catches in each game this season, including two 100-plus receiving-yard outings.
