The New Orleans Saints are poised to dominate the rematch with the Atlanta Falcons in Georgia on Thanksgiving Day.

In the last meeting with the Atlanta Falcons, the 7-1 New Orleans Saints were embarrassed in a 26-9 loss to the then 1-7 Falcons.

A victory that ended a six-game losing streak for the Atlanta Falcons and one that also handed the New Orleans Saints their second loss of the season. This is a revenge game for the Saints, and they’ll lock up the division with a win.

Since that game, the Saints have beaten the two other division rivals — Buccaneers and Panthers. The Saints continued on their historic season to a 9-2 record. Thanksgiving will prove to every “Dirty Bird” supporter that the Saints are who they say they are — the NFC best.

The New Orleans Saints look to take back one of their only two losses and only loss to an NFC team.

This win over the Falcons would also clinch the NFC South regular-season championship. A lot is at stake here for the New Orleans Saints. Because of that, they will look to certain players to step up and play big.

Here are three players that the New Orleans Saints need in order to succeed in their revenge tour to Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day.
