Falcons still refuse to put the Saints on their scoreboard

The Falcons still refuse to put the Saints on their scoreboard. It’s Atlanta versus the Visitors on Sunday:

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons renewed their rivalry for the first time this season as they met in Atlanta for Week 12.

The Falcons have continued an old tradition as they refuse to put the Saints’ name on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium scoreboard, instead showing “Visitors.” This rivalry has been heated and petty for years, this is just another feather in that cap. The mind games haven’t done great for the Falcons in the past, as the Saints haven’t lost in Atlanta since the 2017 season.

There is some extra spice to this game as the all-time series is tied for the first time in almost 60 years, with the Saints on a 6-1 stretch. The battle is now for bragging rights as well as the NFC South title.
