December 27, 2016Saints, Falcons, flexed to 3:25 p.m. kickoff
The final game of the New Orleans Saints season will kick off in a prime timeslot.
The NFL announced on Sunday night that the Saints game with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday will kickoff at 3:25 p.m., making the game one of the league’s “National Games of the Week.”
The matchup is more important to the Falcons than it is to the Saints because Atlanta can earn a first-round bye in the playoffs with a victory.
For New Orleans, the game means nothing, except for pride and an opportunity to beat an in-division rival.
The Falcons beat the Saints in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome earlier this season – a victory that gave the Dirty Birds a leg-up in the NFC South race.
If victorious, the Saints can avoid a losing season for the first time since 2013.
