Ronnie Bell, who came into today's game with eight career catches since entering the league in 2023, just made a one-handed touchdown grab to give the Saints a little bit of life.
Trailing 19-17 with no timeouts remaining, they need to recover an onside kick.

Tyler Shough finally made a mistake that the Falcons capitalized on: On third down in the red zone, he's picked off by Dee Alford, and the Falcons nickel flips the field with his return. Saints chances are not looking so good at the moment.

Chase Young is also up to 10 sacks on the year, adding to his personal best. Impressive considering the time he missed to start the season.
Follows that sack by blowing up a screen to Bijan Robinson on the next play.
