perienced receivers and the New Orleans Saints won their 10th straight game Thursday night with a 31-17 victory over Atlanta that eliminated the Falcons from contention in the NFC South.Tommylee Lewis and Austin Carr each caught their second career touchdown pass Limited Takkarist McKinley Jersey , and rookie tight end Dan Arnold grabbed his first, as did rookie receiver Keith Kirkwood. All four entered the NFL as undrafted free agents within the past three years and had combined for zero touchdowns this season before Carr caught the first of his career last Sunday.“It says a lot about them. It says a lot about taking advantage of the opportunity, and stepping up when we need it,” Brees said of his latest touchdown targets. “It’s fun to watch them grow and gain confidence. We’re building chemistry, which typically takes time, right? But they’ve been thrust into this role.”Meanwhile, the Falcons (4-7) lost three fumbles inside the Saints 20 — something no team facing streaking New Orleans (10-1) can afford this season.“The defense played tremendous today against a really explosive offense,” Brees said. “They got four turnovers. That’s a huge stat in the game.”Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was stripped by safety Marcus Williams on a third-and-2 from the Saints 3 and Williams recovered to end Atlanta’s opening drive. Julio Jones was stripped by linebacker Alex Anzalone after a catch on the New Orleans 17, and safety Vonn Bell recovered in the final minute of the second quarter to preserve a 17-3 lead going into halftime.“Any time you have a turnover when they’re in a threatening position — just do the numbers, do the math,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.New Orleans’ defense, which had a season-high six sacks, continued to come up with big plays in the second half. Anzalone broke up a fourth-down pass in the third quarter and linebacker A.J. Klein intercepted a pass tipped by defensive tackle Tyeler Davison in the fourth.The interception gave the Saints possession on the Atlanta 22 Takkarist McKinley Falcons Jersey , setting up Kirkwood’s diving 4-yard TD catch.Just for good measure, Marshon Lattimore stripped Calvin Ridley on the Saints 1 after a 29-yard completion that looked as though it would end with a touchdown with about four minutes to go. Defensive back Eli Apple recovered that one.“When you have one turnover (in the red zone), it feels like a lot,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “We had three down there and that was the real story of the game.”Ryan was under pressure all night from a Saints defense that was bolstered by the return of first-round draft choice Marcus Davenport from a toe injury that sidelined him for three games. Cameron Jordan had two sacks, while Williams, P.J. Williams, Sheldon Rankins and Demario Davis each had one.Ryan finished 35 of 47 for 377 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. But very little came easy. His first TD pass, to Calvin Ridley, came on a fourth-and-goal from the 2 at the end of the third quarter.Atlanta rushed for just 26 yards, while New Orleans finished with 150, led by Alvin Kamara‘s 89 and Mark Ingram‘s 52.Statistically, Brees did not have one of his more impressive games Elite Takkarist McKinley Jersey , completing 15 of 22 passes for 171 yards with his second interception of the season. The pick was snagged by Damontae Kazee, his NFL-leading sixth this year.But Brees’ ability to play to the strengths of unheralded receivers allowed the Saints to cash in on scoring opportunities.Lewis, a third-year pro, was in his first game back after spending nine weeks on injured reserve and had not caught a pass all season before getting wide open for his 28-yard grab that made it 7-0 on the first series of the game. Carr is a second-year pro who played in only one game without a catch as a rookie. He, too, was wide open after Falcons defenders bit on a fake handoff to Ingram. Kirkwood made his NFL debut three games ago, when Arnold had his first career reception.“Obviously, Drew is someone who is very confident in the preparation, confident in players around him. There’s a lot that goes into that,” Payton said. “I’m excited for those guys that got opportunities.”INJURIESFalcons linebacker Kemal Ishmael was helped off the field in the third quarter after a punt.UP NEXTFalcons host Baltimore Dec. 2.Saints visit Dallas on Thursday night. The Falcons got four draft picks under contract and...largely had a quiet weekend otherwise."It’s doldrums time, folks. The news spigot has been turned down to a trickle and all we can do is lap up the occasional signing or roster change that drips out to us and I no longer love this metaphor. Let’s get to the news.Falcons ink four draft picksThe big news of the last few days, if you can call it that, was that the Falcons had managed to get four of their draft selections under contract. Their first three picks remain unsigned for the moment Game Takkarist McKinley Jersey , but DE/DT John Cominsky, RB Qadree Ollison, CB Jordan Miller, and WR/KR/PR/RB Marcus Green are now all signed.That’s housekeeping for the Falcons, but I’m legitimately excited to see all four in action. Cominsky is a project defensive lineman with the athletic ability to make an impact down the line, Ollison is a potential plus blocker and powerful runner who figures to take over the #3 duties, Miller is an unusually polished late round cornerback some fans are already falling in love with, and Green is interesting both as a returner and as a weapon on offense. Hopefully the whole class will be signed and hanging out at the rookie minicamp from May 10-12.Who’s going to start at left guard? Kind of a huge question! Kevin Knight took a look at the competition for the left guard spot and broke down why we should take rookie first rounder Chris Lindstrom’s prospects at the position quite seriously, as well as the case for James Carpenter and the potential fallout should Lindstrom take the job. We’re rooting for the rookie to lock down that spot, not just this year but for say the next decade. Cominsky’s potential and Green’s future Over the weekend, David Walker a.k.a. DW took a closer look at Cominsky to see just how good he could be. The verdict? While Dan Quinn’s spotty record of developing pass rushers in Atlanta is a cause for concern, Cominsky’s outsized talent, Quinn’s stated intent to move him inside Takkarist McKinley Womens Jersey , and Quinn’s pass and present success with the defensive tackle on his roster suggest Cominsky could be a steal of a fourth rounder. Just, you know, not right away. While we’re talking futures for draft picks, how about Marcus Green? I broke down why I think he’s an intriguing slot receiver for the future, but as many suggested in the comments, Green’s most exciting trait might be his versatility and physical resemblance to extremely useful players like Tarik Cohen. Falcons on the bubble As much as I hate to say it, there are a handful of players who look like they’re already firmly on the roster bubble. There were other good suggestions in the comments, too, so read up and see which Falcons may be fighting for their roster lives starting in just a week or two.
