The Saints, who had a shot at clinching a playoff berth when they faced the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, won an earlier meeting against the Bucs 31-6 in Tampa.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons have margin for error. They've already locked up a playoff spot. Even if they lose Monday night's game against New Orleans, they will merely need to beat a two-win Carolina team at home in the regular-season finale to lock up the division title and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. But Atlanta (12-2) refuses to look at it that way. The Falcons want to send a message to the defending Super Bowl champions: We've already beaten y'all once in the Big Easy, |

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons seem to have found a perfect formula at linebacker. Curtis Lofton takes every snap. Mike Peterson takes less snaps. Rookie Sean Weatherspoon and No. 4 linebacker Stephen Nicholas fit in as necessary. ``Everybody's got a role, and we're winning,'' Peterson said. ``You can't argue with the results.'' As Atlanta (12-2) prepares to face New Orleans (10-4) with a chance to win the NFC South and a No. 1 playoff seed, Peterson believes much of the Falcons' defen |

Had the Seattle Seahawks not been defeated by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, or had the San Francisco 49ers not suffered defeat at the hands of the San Diego Chargers last Thursday, things would be a lot more gloomy for the Rams after they dropped a 27-13 decision to the Kansas City Chiefs.
