With the Atlanta Falcons upsetting the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, here are three studs and duds from the win.

The Atlanta Falcons picked up easily their biggest win of the year in Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season on Sunday afternoon on the road. The Falcons, who entered the game with a lengthy losing streak, were large underdogs away from home. Atlanta, however, was able to break that losing streak and come away with a really impressive victory to grab its second win of the season.

The Falcons marched into New Orleans and put on a dominant performance to upset the Saints in their home stadium on Sunday afternoon, winning the contest 26-9. To start the game in Week 10, Atlanta and New Orleans opened the contest all knotted up at 3-3 through one quarter behind a pair of field goals to kick things off.

In the second quarter, the Falcons held a 10-3 advantage to grab a 13-6 lead going into halftime on the road. In the second half, Atlanta was able to nearly shut out New Orleans en route to picking up a huge road victory, outscoring the Saints 13-3 in the final two quarters behind a 13-point fourth-quarter outburst.

With the win, the Falcons were able to snap their six-game losing streak while grabbing their second win of the year and the first win on the road in the 2019 campaign. Atlanta, which improved to 2-7 on the season with the win over New Orleans, will look to keep things rolling when it travels to take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 11 of the regular season next week.

With the Falcons grabbing a big win over the Saints on the road on Sunday afternoon, let’s look back at three studs and duds for Atlanta in the surprising victory.
