“Here we come,” Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris shouted to a rowdy locker room following Sunday’s 26-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints. It’s just the second win of the season for Morris’ team but there’s reason for excitement after surviving a tough four-game stretch.
Younghoe Koo converted on the longest kick in Mercedes-Benz Stadium history to help the Falcons defeat their NFC South rivals in Week 4. It won’t get any easier in Week 5 when Atlanta hosts the division-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) on Thursday night.
For now, though, the Falcons should feel good about winning a game in which they didn’t score an offensive touchdown. Watch Morris address the team in the locker room following Sunday’s win over the Saints below:

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins was happy to get the win but disappointed in the offense’s performance on Sunday. “I didn’t feel like we did our part on offense to give him a better opportunity but he bailed us out,” Cousins said to sideline reporter Megan Olivi after the game.
Atlanta’s running game was also held in check. Bijan Robinson finished the game with just 28 rushing yards on seven attempts. Tyler Allgeier led the way with 60 yards on eight carries (7.5 yards per attempt).
