Summary

Falcons aim for a season-best four-game winning streak.
Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough boosts team's confidence.
Chris Olave's absence impacts Saints' receiving corps.

The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints are each looking to finish their disappointing seasons with momentum. The Falcons have strung together three consecutive wins and aim to extend this streak to four, completing their first season sweep of the Saints since 2016. Their recent success includes an upset victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

The Saints, meanwhile, have secured four straight victories, largely driven by the strong play of rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This performance may alleviate the need for the team to draft another quarterback. However, the Saints face a significant challenge with the expected absence of their leading receiver, Chris Olave, due to a reported lung issue.

Despite their late surges, neither team can salvage their season from failure. The Falcons' winning streak came too late to overcome an earlier five-game losing skid, marking their eighth consecutive losing season. Key players like Bijan Robinson for the Falcons and veterans whose contracts are expiring for the Saints are focused on ending the year strong.
