ATLANTA — I’m heading downstairs for interviews and will be back with more in a bit. But first, a quick Rapid Reaction to the Saints’ 17-14 victory.
What it means: The Saints have guaranteed that the race for the NFC South title will go down to the final week of the regular season. The victory makes them 11-4, but they still trail Atlanta (12-3) by a game. The division title remains possible if the Saints win their final game and the Falcons lose. Even if that doesn’t happen and Atlanta ends up with the home-field advantage, the Saints already have shown they can win in the Georgia Dome.
