Tonight at 8:25 p.m. ET on CBS, the Falcons (5-0) will aim to stay unbeaten against the Saints (1-4), and perhaps try to enter the fourth quarter with a lead.

The Falcons’ undefeated record hasn’t convinced everyone that they’re an elite squad. They have trailed in the fourth quarter in four of their five wins, and their defense, while improved from 2014, still ranks in the middle of the pack per FootballOutsiders.com. In addition, their top weapon, wide receiver Julio Jones, is dealing with a hamstring injury and playing on short rest.
Despite the hamstring issues, head coach Dan Quinn doesn’t expect to limit Jones’ playing time.
Dan Quinn told me Julio Jones will play and he will NOT be on a pitch count. Said he feels better than last week @AtlantaFalcons @NFLonCBS

Quarterback Matt Ryan said the team’s constant comebacks prove their mettle, and show they are in fact one of the NFL’s upper crust teams. "I think good teams find ways to win even when it's not pretty.”
Against New Orleans’ bottom-ranked pass defense, tonight’s game may be pretty for the Dirty Birds.
