Le Journal

In a shocking twist, Paul Gallagher - older brother to Liam and Noel - has quietly tagged along to every single tour stop, from Australia all the way to the USA and now Chile.

This has been a season from hell. Michael Penix, Jr. is out for the season, Drake London was out for this game, and the playoffs are essentially an afterthought. But at least we’re not the New Orleans Saints. The Atlanta Falcons retake the lead in the all-time series, 57-56, rightfully pushing the Saints back to little brother status for the time being. So, for the first time since we’ve started this highlight reel series, we have a win to talk about, filled with highlights from Dee Alford, Bijan Robinson, and some potential history from Kirk Cousins. Dee Alford scoops up early fumble The first Falcons drive ended in a three-and-out. Not ideal. However, two plays into their first drive, the New Orleans Saints gifted Atlanta with possession with a fumble on a botched snap. Dee Alford had the heads-up play to scoop up the fumble and gain a few extra yards to get Atlanta deeper in Saints territory.

When the Falcons get Bijan Robinson going, you get at least one of those plays a game. In the game against the Saints, it came early, as Robinson absolutely embarrassed Saints defenders on the way to a 32-yard gain.

Yesterday, Cousins threw his 289th and 290th passing touchdown, tying Hall-of-Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas’ 290 touchdowns for 17th on the all-time list.

It’s looking like Cousins and Sills’ connection on the scout team throughout the season may come in handy Sunday. Bijan Robinson is simply a magician I don’t have anything else to say. Bijan Robinson is just special.

Kirk moon ball to Mooney brings Kirk to 290 With only seven games to go, maybe the Falcons have found a new objective: See how far up the All-time passing touchdowns rankings they can get Kirk Cousins before the end of the season. With this gorgeous 49-yard touchdown to Mooney, Cousins ties with Unitas for 17th all-time with 290 career passing touchdowns.

Xavier Watts calls game with game-sealing interception Xavier Watts has been itching for another interception since being without one since late September. Welp, Watts finds his hands on the ball for the third time this season, tying Bob Riggle, Clarence Ellis, and Ray Brown for second-most by a Falcons safety in their rookie season.

Nobody likes the Saints except Saints fans, and this season even that’s in doubt. In a playoff season, in a lost campaign, in the final football game before the apocalypse, the Falcons beating the Saints is something to celebrate. And they did so, by the way, by two full touchdowns. While there was plenty to pick apart in this performance—too many plays where Tyler Shough escaped, dropped interceptions, stone hands from Kyle Pitts, bad penalties—Atlanta also earned their first win in over a month, dropped their hated rival even further into the basement, and kept whatever dim hope they had left for this season alive. We spend a lot of time thinking about the big picture, especially during a year that’s gone as far off the rails as this one has, but we’re still watching these games to enjoy ourselves and see wins at the end of the day. For the first time in what feels like a tiny eternity, I know I did both. What mattered most from this game, ultimately, was what we saw from the defense. The Saints are no one’s idea of a juggernaut, but those Taysom Hill handoffs and deep strikes from young quarterbacks have doomed them so many times in the past. In this one, it was young players like James Pearce Jr., Jalon Walker, Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, Xavier Watts, and Dee Alford making sure those things didn’t happen, with Ronnie Harrison chipping in as a reserve who seems very much worth keeping around at this point. If the Falcons are going to be anything once they figure out where the hell they’re going on offense in 2026 and beyond, they’ll need the defense to be much better than it has been since…well, since a very long time ago. As hapless as this Saints offense can be, this was exactly the kind of lackluster effort that would have led to an inexplicable 27 points in year past. The Falcons defense is progressing, even if it’s in fits and starts, and is good enough to put bad offenses in hell. The offense had a quieter day—a pair of touchdowns, 24 points, 302 total yards—but was tangibly different. As The Athletic’s Josh Kendall wrote, Atlanta ran nearly half of its plays from under center, which was a season high (before it was just over 9%) and actually a two season high, as even with Kirk Cousins last year the Falcons operated chiefly out of the pistol. They also granted my wish and went with three tight end sets on a third of their snaps, helping them bully the Saints on the ground and giving Charlie Woerner some long-awaited opportunities as a pass catcher. Considering there was no Drake London, it was an impressive day from players who had tough seasons (Darnell Mooney) and ones who hadn’t gotten much if any run at all (David Sills, Dylan Drummond). There will be many conversations in the days to come about why the Falcons made those changes, what that means for and about Michael Penix Jr., and why we couldn’t see any of them with Cousins last year, but for the moment just enjoy a frankly well-executed game. With the Jets on deck, there’s a chance the Falcons will string together a couple of wins. Don’t let them fool you into thinking they’re going to salvage this season—there’s very little chance of that—but do enjoy watchable football while it lasts and root for this defense to keep building. While the 2025 season may not end up mattering that much, that development certainly does. On to the full recap. The Good Consider the opponent, for sure, and remember that Kirk Cousins still looked incapable of escaping pressure at times. This was the best effort we’ve seen from him in a calendar year or more, with a couple of actual scrambles, plenty of on-target throws, a beautiful deep ball to Darnell Mooney for a touchdown, and more confidence and acumen then he’s shown since he was carving up the Buccaneers and Cowboys last year. He finished with two touchdowns, 199 tidy yards, and an interception that was not remotely his fault. If Cousins is capable of putting this together with a depleted receiving corps, he might be…
