Andy Dalton and Taysom Hill combined to throw three TD passes, and the New Orleans Saints beat Atlanta 21-18 on in the debut of Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Atlanta was down by just a field goal and threating to score with less than three minutes remaining when Ridder hit Drake London over the middle for first-down yardage on fourth-and-5. But safety Justin Evans punched the ball from London’s grasp, and cornerback Bradley Robey snagged it out of the air to give New Orleans the ball on its own 39.
The Falcons began the day just one game behind division-leading Tampa Bay, which played one of Sunday’s late-afternoon games against AFC contender Cincinnati. But the Falcons also had lost four of their previous five while season-opening QB Marcus Mariota played through what the team has described as a “chronic” knee problem.
Ridder completed 13 of 26 passes for 97 yards without an interception. Rookie running back Tyler Allgeier helped the Falcons sustain drives with 139 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.
