This was a divisional game and we badly needed this win after already losing 1 divisional game to the Bucs.
We've got one more game in NY and then Mark Ingram will be back, & angry. And we love it when MI is angry.
So, have a beer and relax.

Yeah, I'm with you. Except for the fact that I cringe every time I see Kamara catch a punt. I think the fact it was the Falcons is the main reason we saw so much AK. This game was VITAL to the season! My hope is that next week we see someone else catching kicks and Gillislee and Williams step up. Oh and if we could keep the other team from scoring over 30, that'd be pretty awesome.
