“Two Dat” Must Go Through Atlanta

The road to the Super Bowl for the New Orleans Saints must go through Atlanta, and the Falcons. Sam Farmer, of the Los Angeles Times, has the story, below.

What stands between the New Orleans Saints and more revelry?

A rivalry.

The defending Super Bowl champions can secure at least a wild-card playoff berth with a victory at Atlanta on Monday, but that's far from a simple task. The Falcons are 19-1 at the Georgia Dome with Matt Ryan starting at quarterback, their only loss coming more than two years ago to Denver.
