The Atlanta Falcons ' pass rush struggles continued in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints at Caesars Superdome. Perhaps most disappointing for Atlanta, the performance came one week after its most productive performance this season: a three-sack, seven-hit afternoon against the Dallas Cowboys.

Derek Carr passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns and the host New Orleans Saints ended a seven-game losing streak with a 20-17 victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon.

The Saints rack up 23 points per game, comparable to the 24 the Falcons allow. New Orleans averages just 19.9 fewer yards per game (331.4) than Atlanta gives up per outing (351.3). This season the Saints have turned the ball over 11 times, one more than the Falcons' takeaways (10).
