Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught three passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in his second game for New Orleans, and the Saints began Darren Rizzi's tenure as interim coach by snapping a seven-game skid with a 20-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo held his hands to his helmet after, on his attempt for a tying field goal, the football banged off the right upright with 6 1/2 minutes remaining against an opponent that hadn't won a game since September.

In his last six games, Younghoe Koo has gone 8-15 (53%) on all field goal attempts. The last time the kicker was hovering around a 50% conversion rate, he was on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Atlanta Falcons once reliable weapon has turned into a liability amid the Falcons push for the playoffs.
