Its that time again! As all the turkey and dressing dwindles down, sports fan can anticipate one of the biggest show downs in football history as our very own Atlanta Falcons take on the New Orleans Saints this Sunday November 26 at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in the ATL.
If the Falcons pull through this weekend, they regain control of the NFC South. And of course gain those much needed bragging rightsto beating our their biggest rival.
Here’s what you should know about Sunday’s game. We are moving into week 12 of the NFL season, and the Falcons are currently 4-6; while the Saints are 5-5. Looking at the two rankings side-by-side, you would not likely assume these two teams were no more than a single game apart. Unfortunately for the Falcons Marshon Lattimore and MichaelT homas will be out of Sundays matchup.
Lattimore is reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain,and the team has decided to get a second opinion on his injuries. Thomas was injured during the Vikings game after taking a hit on a pass play from Derek Carr. This takes one of the teams best receivers out of the roster.
The falcons have lost 6 of their last 7 games to the Saints, so the pressure is on!
On a lighter note, the 50 years of Hip Hop Celebration continues and what better way to celebrate the city than have all of Hip Hops great for an all star performance. That’s right! There will be a half time performance like no other featuring Jermaine Dupri, Ceelo Green, Big Boi, Ludacris, T.I., Jeezy, Quavo, and so many more!
