Saints’ keys to victory: New Orleans has looked shaky in its first two games. The Saints will have to execute better against the Falcons, a far more competitive team than either Tampa Bay or Cleveland. QB Drew Brees is 16-9 in his career against Atlanta but needs more help from RB Alvin Kamara, averaging 3.6 yards per carry so far. Kamara could have a bounce-back game with Falcons LB Deion Jones and S Keanu Neal both still on injured reserve. Defensively, the Saints need DE Jordan to follow up with another strong game after a two-sack showing against the Browns.
