If the saints win out and end up with the same overall, division, and conference record as Atlanta, how do they decide who wins the division?

after head to head, next tie breaker is common opponents- ATL has the edge, so they need to lose twice

They can lose. Matt Ryan could get hurt and be out the rest of the season. It can happen.

Yeah Atlanta play 4 NFC teams in the next 4 weeks, Carolina, Seattle, us, then carolina again.
We need to beat them anyway, but we need another team to beat them for us to be level with them. If more than one of the other teams beats them, and we win out, we control the division.

We just need to win. We can beat anyone, anyday and we're alot better than we were when we lost to Atlanta on a MISSED FREAKIN field goal. That really still pea's me off!
