NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have 17 losses between them and neither will finish the regular season with a winning record. Rick Mahorn Jersey .And they couldnt care less.The Saints (6- and Falcons (5-9) have been divisional rivals for nearly half a century and cant stand each other. Theres also an NFC South title on the line.So one could argue there is no more compelling, high-stakes game on the NFL schedule than the one kicking off in the Superdome this Sunday.Its going to be loud and crazy in there. I cant wait, Falcons receiver Roddy White said. Its an important game for both teams with the season weve been having. Were both right there. The winner of this game is probably going to win the division, so the excitement will be there. Everybody will be pumped.The Saints will be the last team to apologize if they win a division with a losing record. In 2010, when they were defending Super Bowl champions, they won 11 games but had to open the playoffs at 7-9 Seattle, which won the NFC West that season. The Saints lost.This at the beginning of the season is what you hoped for, the opportunity to be playing for something significant this time of the year, Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. Thats what we have the chance to do. ... I know the fans enjoy this rivalry. It doesnt get any better than this.While New Orleans already has been eliminated from wild-card contention, the Saints can win the division as soon as this weekend if they beat the Falcons and if Carolina (5-8-1) loses to Cleveland. However, the Saints could also be eliminated if they lose to the Falcons and the Panthers beat the Browns, because the Panthers and Falcons play each other in Week 17.Atlanta could remain in control of its playoff destiny with a victory, but would be eliminated with a loss.Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis has predicted that New Orleans would give the Falcons their funeral, to which White responded facetiously, May we rest in peace.White added, Theres no kind of motivation thats going to make us step up and be like Oh, they said this. No, we know what it is, its Saints-Falcons.Indeed, when Atlanta was featured on the HBO series Hard Knocks back in August, the series showed some members of the Falcons mentioning their rivalry with, and disdain for, New Orleans.Lewis, a New Orleans native, was among those watching.They didnt pinpoint no other team, Lewis said. They pinpointed us. So its war.Some things to know about the 91st meeting between the Falcons and Saints:AERIAL ASSAULT: The game features the top two passing offences in the NFC. Brees and the Saints lead the conference with 301.8 yards passing per game, while the Falcons, with Matt Ryan under centre, have passed for 286.1 yards per game.DISMAL Defence: The Falcons rank last in total defence in the entire NFL, giving up 409.9 yards per game, while the Saints rank second-to-last, giving up 390.1 yards. When the teams met in Atlanta in their regular season opener on Sept. 7, Ryan set an Atlanta record for yards passing in a game with 448, and the Falcons won in overtime, 37-34.Ryan threw for a career high. It hurt, Lewis said. Its definitely something weve got to remember.HANGING TIGHT: Brees has had a lot of success throwing to tight ends this season. Jimmy Graham, Josh Hill and Ben Watson have combined to catch 104 passes for 1,074 yards and 16 touchdowns. Graham has accounted for most of that, with 73 catches for 782 yards and nine TDs.JULIO SHOW: Falcons coach Mike Smith claims that he intends to wait until his game-day inactive list is due before deciding whether top receiver Julio Jones will play in New Orleans. Jones hurt his hip at the end of a loss two weeks ago at Green Bay, where he had a franchise single-game record 259 yards receiving, giving him 1,428 yards for the season. He skipped last weekends loss to Pittsburgh.SECONDARY CHANGES: New Orleans and Atlanta have both made personnel changes in their defensive backfields recently. The Saints shook things up by inserting three new defensive backs in the starting lineup in a victory at Chicago last Monday: recently acquired safeties Jamarca Sanford and Pierre Warren, as well as young cornerback Terrence Frederick, who was promoted last month from the practice squad. For the Falcons, Robert McClain has started the past four games at cornerback for injured Robert Alford. McClain has one interception this season, and it came in Week 1 against New Orleans.___Online:AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Allen Iverson Jersey .C. -- Clemson celebrated a senior class Saturday that brought the program back as a national contender. Ersan Ilyasova Pistons Jersey . Down 2-1 after Rick Nash scored on a penalty shot, the Oilers ran off four unanswered goals in the remainder of the second period on the way to a 6-3 victory on Sunday. http://www.basketballpistonsauthority.co...ns-jersey-c-26/ . Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.WINNIPEG -- The loss of offensive lineman Chris Greaves is just one of the injuries forcing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to make lineup changes for Friday nights game against the Montreal Alouettes. "This isnt really the week you want to lose Chris Greaves," fellow lineman Glenn January said Wednesday after practice. Greaves is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a knee injury in last weeks 36-28 win over the Ottawa Redblacks. Cordaro Howard will replace the veteran lineman, which has other implications for coach Mike OShea since Howard is an import and Greaves is a Canadian. "Whenever you play a team like this that runs a lot of different games and blitzes you want to have a guy that youve had a lot of experience with," January added. "But Cordaros done a good job making sure that hes in the film room ... when were getting some extra time in and making sure we understand what we need to do." OShea gives a lot of respect to Montreals defence and so does quarterback Drew Willy. "They like to bring pressure, they keep on coming and coming and coming, theyre relentless ... (linebacker) Chip Cox is defensive player of the year (for 2013) but theyve got a lot of good players," said OShea. Willy spent two seasons as a backup in Saskatchewan before joining the Blue Bombers. "Theyve (had) a great defence ever since Ive been in the league and before that they won a couple of Grey Cups," said Willy. "Weve been doing our homework all week and know weve got to play a great game." Winnipegs offensive line has been doing a decent job helping Willy make a solid debut in his first season as the No.. Isiah Thomas Pistons Jersey. 1 pivot and the Bombers are off to a 2-0 start. Hes completed 40 of 60 passes for 615 yards and four touchdowns and sits behind only Toronto veteran Ricky Ray at 690 yards. But its those two wins that really please fans, starved for success after last years 3-15 finish. Only the Edmonton Eskimos are even with the Bombers at 2-0 and they too are bouncing back from a tough 2013 that saw them win only one more game than Winnipeg. Injuries arent helping in the Bombers pursuit of a third win. Defensive lineman Zach Anderson definitely wont be going to Montreal, OShea said. Safety Moe Leggetts status is uncertain -- Johnny Sears lined up there during Wednesdays practice -- and hurting wide receiver Aaron Kelly will be going but how much hell play is a question mark. The team is taking along Canadian Brett Carter as a backup. Kelly not only leads the Bombers with his 163 receiving yards after two games, he sits second in the CFL behind Torontos Chad Owens. OShea said Kelly hurt his knee in practice this week and left Wednesdays session early, but still expects to be able to play Friday. Carter, meanwhile, is a former Winnipeg Rifles receiver who got to work out with the team last season and even dressed for a July game, then spent the rest of the season on the practice roster. He got a late invite back to camp this season to continue his quest. "Its a crazy roller-coaster ride that I was on and it would definitely be great to start and have that opportunity but well see what the coach has to say," he said after running some first-team routes when Kelly left the field Wednesday. Montreal has split its first two games. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
