The Saints are in.

The reigning Super Bowl champions secured a return trip to the playoffs Monday night with a dramatic, come-from-behind 17-14 victory at Atlanta. They earned a little bit of revenge and redemption in the process, paying back the Falcons for an equally thrilling Week 3 overtime loss in the Superdome.
