Saints Pregame: Domecoming vs Falcons
Twenty years ago, the city of New Orleans was forever changed. The "Rebirth" game when the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina was more than a football game already. However, when Steve Gleason blocked the first punt of the game and it was returned for a touchdown, everyone in the building knew it was over.
Now, we come back to the Caesars Superdome against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football to commemorate that beautiful and emotional night.
Tonight will likely be no different, emotionally, as there will be many tributes to celebrate the anniversary.
On the field, the Saints will be looking to respond against their most hated rival, as the Black and Gold fell at home to the Las Vegas Raiders a week ago, committing four turnovers in the fourth quarter. The Saints will need to clean that up and turn some of those drives into points quickly. Chris Olave has been a huge bright spot early on in the season and there's no question that Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough will continue to feed him the ball tonight.
In the running game, Travis Etienne was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week with a hamstring issue, meaning it will be up to Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller to carry that load. On the other side, Atlanta's offense goes directly through their running back, Bijan Robinson, who is arguably the best back in football. He can bully his way through the defensive front and then pull away in the upper levels, so the Saints will have to find a way to control him.
If the Saints can limit Robinson and continue to play well in the secondary, there could be a lot more celebrating in the Big Easy tonight as the Black and Gold would be tied for the NFC South lead four games into the season.
