Saints/Falcons An Underrated Rivalry

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have a rivalry that is to be appreciated. D. Orlando Ledbetter, of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has the story, below.

Former Saints and Falcons quarterback Bobby Hebert is an expert on perhaps the most under-appreciated rivalry in the National Football League.

The native of Cut Off, La., played eight seasons (1985-1992) for the Saints and four seasons (1993-1996) for the Falcons, and has seen the rivalry from both sides of the field.
