This game went back and forth all day with young gun slingers Matt Ryan and Drew Brees with highlights from falcons greats like Michael Turner, Tony Gonzalez, and Roddy White
If anyone has any memory of this game this is where Thomas Decoud had the unfortunate bounce off his heel from a punt that was statistically impossible which led the Saints to score and seemed to shift the momentum into the Saints favor
Game was high scoring and led to overtime (old rules where FG wins it) and miraculously Garret Hartley (Saints SB Winning Placekicker) missed a chip shot 29 yard FG to give the falcons and Matt Bryant a chance and ultimately win the ball game!
This game is top 3 in my head of best games all time between our franchises

i remember that game. That FG from
the Saints almost gave me a Heart Attack
I remember this game distinctly because when the saints kicker attempted the ot kick to win the game, the broadcast froze. It froze for about 5 secs and when it unfroze the first image was Matty ice putting his helmet back on
“Rowdy” Roddy… what a legend that guy. Such a great draft pick.
