The 100th edition of the bitter Saints-Falcons feud turned into a Thanksgiving celebration for the New Orleans Saints and their fans in front of a national audience. New Orleans bludgeoned their longtime rivals to win their tenth consecutive game. The game was close statistically Youth Alex Okafor Jersey , but the Saints maintained control throughout the game, taking a 17-3 lead into the halftime break and cruising to a 31-17 victory. Drew Brees did throw his second interception of the season, but also threw four touchdown passes in another deadly efficient performance. Michael Thomas caught four first half passes, but the team's complimentary targets stepped up, even without Tre'Quan Smith in the lineup. Brees' scoring tosses went to Tommylee Lewis, Dan Arnold, Austin Carr, and Keith Kirkwood, all undrafted coming out of college. Although the Saints offensive line did allow their first sack in four games, they controlled the Atlanta front seven, paving the way for 150 rushing yards. The New Orleans defense allowed just 26 yards on the ground, forced four turnovers, and sacked Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan six times, harassing him all evening. The Saints secondary did give up 23 receptions and 314 receiving yards to the Falcons talented threesome of Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley www.saintsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ryan-ramczyk-jersey , and Mohamed Sanu, but came up with a few game changing big plays in the red zone.

Williams, and Vonn Bell provided physical coverage all evening, and together accounted for two fumbles forced and two recoveries near the New Orleans goal line. With no Saints football this Sunday, let's have some Thanksgiving football leftovers and hand out game balls for another solid team performance. CAM JORDAN Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesCameron Jordan added another chapter of dominance against the Falcons throughout his career. Jordan had 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, and 3 quarterback hits on Thursday night, continually destroying the right side of their line. In sixteen career games against Atlanta, Jordan now has 12 sacks and 28 total hits on their quarterback. He had a game indicative of his season, one that almost surely has him headed to his second straight All-Pro recognition. ALVIN KAMARA Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY SportsComing into this game, it looked like Atlanta might have trouble matching up with Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram without their best defensive player Alex Anzalone Jersey , linebacker Deion Jones.The two backs combined for 141 rushing yards on 25 carries, led by Kamara's 89 yards. He exploded for 18 yards on the game's opening play, and consistently slashed his way through the Falcons defense for key yardage. Kamara's versatile talents and gamebreaking skills were undeniable last year when he won the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year. He has gone on to prove this season that he is capable of filling the role as a top every down back, capable of picking up tough yards inside the tackles. SHELDON RANKINS Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesRankins continued his monstrous season, getting immediate penetration into the Falcons backfield numerous times to derail a running play or put pressure on Ryan. He finished with just two tackles, but both were for losses, including 1 sack. The Saints first round pick in 2016 also had a number of other pressures on during the game, flushing Ryan into a sack by a teammate.Rankins is having the best season of his career by far, and is finally being mentioned among the best interior linemen in the league. THE LINEBACKERS Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesThis may not be the second coming of The Dome Patrol, but it is almost certainly the best linebacking unit that the Saints have had in decades. Demario Davis, Alex Anzalone, and A.J. Klein combined for 16 tackles (2 for loss), 1 sack (Davis), 2 forced fumbles (Anzalone, Davis) Authentic Josh LeRibeus Jersey , and an interception (Klein). The linebackers complimented the standout play of their defensive line in making the Atlanta running attack nonexistent, holding them to just 1.6 yards per carry. Once a team weakness often exploited by teams such as Atlanta, these linebackers have become one of the Saints' many strengths, and the most improved unit on the team.

The winning streak is the second longest in franchise history, and has New Orleans mentioned as one of the primary Super Bowl favorites heading into the home stretch of the season. The Saints cannot afford a letdown however, with no margin for error and perhaps the league's toughest schedule over the final five games. Next up are the NFC East leading Dallas Cowboys, who are on a win streak of their own. Despite the daunting schedule ahead of them, New Orleans seems well equipped to handle the challenge. Thursday night was another complete performance, a domination of a despised rival, and Thanksgiving dessert to an excited fanbase. KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The New England Patriots are in their eighth consecutive conference championship game and trying to reach the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five seasons and the ninth time overall in the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era.The Kansas City Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are hosting the AFC title game for the first time at Arrowhead Stadium, and are trying to get to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1969 season.One thing that is unusual is that the Patriots are a slight underdog against the top-seeded Chiefs."We're going against a team that's the No. 1 seed in the league Youth Austin Carr Jersey ," Brady said after the team's final practice on Friday. "I'm sure there's a lot of people that are thinking they're going to win. Everyone can have their own opinion. We certainly have an opinion, and we've got to go out there and execute our best in order to accomplish that."On the NFC side, the Los Angeles Rams are back inside the stadium where they lost for the first time this season, looking for retribution and a Super Bowl berth as they face the New Orleans Saints in the NFC championship game.The Superdome is coming alive for the last time this football season as predominantly Saints fans arrive for just the second NFC title game to be held at the site of seven Super Bowls.The previous time the Saints hosted a game this late in a season, they pulled out a hair-raising overtime triumph over Minnesota en route to their first Super Bowl appearance 鈥?and championship.That was the 2009 season. Some nine seasons later, coach Sean Payton and 40-year-old, record-setting quarterback Drew Brees are back with a largely different cast, one victory away from the team's second trip to the NFL's biggest event.When these teams met in Week 9, running back C.J. Anderson had not yet joined Todd Gurley in the Rams' backfield and Los Angeles cornerback Aqib Talib was not healthy enough to play.
