The New Orleans Saints will finish the regular season in a late afternoon slot.

Week 17's matchup between the Saints and Atlanta Falcons has been flexed from noon to 3:25 p.m., the NFL announced Sunday.

Sunday's announcement signals the Saints have been flexed from the early afternoon to the late afternoon time slot a total of three times in December.

The previous two times the league moved a Saints' game came in Week 14 and Week 16 against NFC South divisional rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New Orleans and Tampa Bay split the two contests, with the Saints defeating the Buccaneers 31-24 on Saturday.

The Saints-Falcons contest, which will be played in Atlanta, is among four games affected by Sunday's announcement.

What a way to finish the season

B - SLAPPING the falclowns on national TV in Atlanta and avoiding a sweep.

That would make missing the playoffs so much easier to handle.

The Saints winning or the Falcons "hurting tomorrow" decisions, decisions!

It would be a nice consolation to end the season smacking these over rated dirty turds.
